Lots to catch up on

I was soo busy shopping, decorating and not getting any sleep over the weekend that I never had time to post.

We did a TON of shopping this weekend. Enough that my big walk in closet is now covered in bags. We buy for alot of people so getting out there and getting some great deals was worth not getting ANY sleep Thursday night! Drew had a cold and combined with the fact that he was missing his beloved paci as well... he didn't feel the need to go to sleep until 2 am! Since I had to get up at 2:45 I just gave up going to sleep. We hit Walmart first and it was mass chaos! So much so that I really didn't think risking my 9 year old was worth getting a good deal. So we hardly bought anything. Then I woke Julie up and she came and joined me at Target. I figured if I would've called Michelle she would've thrown me across the room. haha Michelle just doesn't share my enthuiasm for shopping. ;) I did a lot of damage at Target and more at Meijer than I came home. Matt and I alternated between shopping and decorating for Christmas the rest of the day. I was soo ready to go to bed by 6pm but Hannah was having a bunch of friends over that night... ahh yes... a bunch of obnoxious 8th graders was just what I was looking forward to. =P

Saturday was MORE shopping. I really needed to put my house back in order after putting up my 3 big trees plus all my other Christmas crap... but the sales were calling me instead ;)

Sunday I finally have to face my wreck of a house! I got my new advent calendar out. It's a cute little wooden house with 25 doors. I put candy behind each door and apparently "someone" was watching me. Guess who that someone was?! That little shit ate ALL the candy in there. Guess he'll just have to open empty doors now. haha

Now I'm just sitting here anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 2 newest nephews! Julie and Chris are in Vietnam right now and will be meeting Bennett tomorrow! It's really warm and sunny there... soo not fair! =P Drew is fascinated that he's actually going to get to meet this little guy. He hasn't quite understood why he's only seen him in pictures and why there's an adorable room for him but he's not there yet. And I'm betting that baby Alex will be making his arrival by Christmas! By the looks of Michelle's belly... I'm fairly certain she's having a toddler! I've already volunteered to take some night shifts... I'm up anyways with Drew so why not add another one. =P
