Toys...

Well, Christmas is over. Jacob got Heely's......and $2000 worth of additional toys. Luke got his fair share as well. The rest of us got Debt.....or traded money with each other.
Jacob and Luke got their paw prints from Penny in their stockings. It was sad and sweet all at once. Jacob is really missing her.
As soon as Thanksgiving lunch is over, I can't wait to get the Tree up and the house decorated for Christmas. Now, I can't wait to take it down. It is driving me crazy. Toys, new and old, ALL over the house. I could go three weeks without washing for the boys for all the new clothes and undies they got. I think Joe got a pair of socks from someone. I got some slippers.
Anyhoo....I get to spend the weekend cleaning up Christmas, putting new toys and games together and finding room to cram them somewhere. So exciting. No, really, I can't wait! Start the new year off with a clean living room and closets so crammed full we are afraid to open them. Hmmmmm.

Blog?

Ok, so I started a blog. I emailed friends and family about it. I've tried to keep mental notes of things you all may be interested in knowing. The usual, Luke is talking a little, Jacob is excited about Christmas, our dog died, blah blah blah......
Just in case your keeping track, I've gotten one lame response(although, much appreciated Meredith!) Even though I've only gotten one response.......I get countless emails and phone calls about my lack of updates. You people have a lot of nerve.

So, here is an updated BLOG for all you people who sit around and read blogs, daily.
Thanksgiving was painful, but it is over now, whew! Christmas is coming, so I'm starting to get sick. I'm sure it will be full blown pnuemonia by the big guys birthday. Jacob is so worried about Penny being alone in heaven that he is more focosed on that than the 'gimme toys!' thing that kids usually do. Luke is FINALLY starting to talk, He is 19 months old and has about a 10 word vocabulary, about half what he 'should' have. Joe is hunting every chance he gets. Even though he is technically NOT on a deer lease, he is on 3, that I know of. I have started a business with Arbonne International and love it! My goal is to have Joe Vincent retired from all the lawn work he does on the side so he can be home with us more. I think that is it. Maybe something exciting will happen this weekend and I can update on Monday! This will have to do for now.

Is it Christmas yet?

I have heard this question at least one thousand times since the 4th of July! Just as I hear the famous "can we go swimming?" from Christmas on! I love the simplicity of it.
That being said, I wish it were all that simple! But, since it is not, I must get ready for the day and put on a calm face so that I can "assure" Jacob and Luke that it really is all that simple! It is not the stress and madness that it really is. I wish I could keep it simple for them forever.
