Thanksgiving

Well the end of a long weekend! I could still use a couple more days! Thursday we went to my parents for Thanksgiving dinner. It was delish! It was nice seeing everybody and the two new babies.
Friday John, my great hubby, got up at 4:30 am to battle the black friday sales! What a man! He went to Walmart first and got the stuff we needed there. Then he headed to Menards. We now have enough AA batteries to last a very looooooooooong time! LOL! But you can't pass them up when you get 40 of them for $2! We also bought Abby a digital camera. Maybe she will leave mine alone! We plan on putting it in her stocking. We then decorated for Christmas. I can't even tell you how excited Abby is! I think it would be a long month! LOL Actually a few days before Thanksgiving she asked if we could call Santa and have him move Christams to Thanksgiving and we could have Thanksgiving when we would normally have Christmas. I tried explaining to her that we had Christmas when we did because it was Jesus' birthday. SHe didn't think He would mind having his birthday early! LOL! So when that didn't work I told her that Santa was just not ready. She still thinks he could just bring her stuff! LOL
Saturday we just hung out and Abby went to girl scouts. But not enough girls showed up so they canceled the meeting. I was quite irked but that is another story! You would think she would have checked with the parents the meeting prior to see wh0 could make it. Abby was quite upset because she loves girl scouts. So we went to the park and library. Today we went to see Happy Feet. I don't think we will be buying that one! Not at all what I expected! That was pretty much it other than the normal laundry and cleaning. I will post a few pics.

Boy I am bad at this!

Halloween was great. Abby had so much fun. I will post some pics shortly.

She has been so mouthy lately. I really hope this phase ends soon. I told her the other day that she better start watching out because Santa was watching her and may not come if she is naughty. Her reply was"Oh well there is always next year!" LOL! I about died! So I don't think that threat will work anymore. She did go to see Santa Saturday. She actually sat on his lap this year! This is the first time since she was 4 months old! She actually sat that quite some time. So I just kept snapping pictures. I think I will use one of them for the Christmas cards. I am just not sure which one yet though.

The other day Abby announced she decided she wanted to be a "venerian" when she grows up. I asked her if she knew what that was. She gave me the "well duh Mommy" look and said yes it is a DR for animals. I said that would be good. But then she said that "I just don't want to work on tigers." LOL! I about fell over. I told her that was fine. The next day she announces she has changed her mind. She says she wants to be an illustrator. So I asked her if she knew what that was. Again I get the "well duh Mommy" look, and she says that it is the person who draws and colors the pictures in books. I said that sounded fun. She said "It would be easy! I already know how to color and draw!" LOL So who knows what she will change to next.

Well this will be yet another busy week. I turn a year old tomorrow. UGH! Wednesday I go to my nephrologist to see how the kidneys are doing. Hopefully I have not lost any more function!

Well I better get going. Here are some pics....
