Merry Christmas! I am taking a break from my travel preparations. We will be spending Christmas with my family in the mountains, so I have been doing a lot of cleaning and laundry. I still need to pack, load the car and take a shower before noon - so that's not too much to do in two hours, right?

We picked up Eva's glasses yesterday, and she was amazed at what she could see (like distinct headlights on cars on the way home) and she looks awfully cute, but I haven't gotten a picture of her yet, so I'll try to remember to post one here when I do get around to it. Her glasses are purple with butterflies on them, and they make her look just a little more grown up, which makes me a little sad, since she is growing so fast anyway.

I am recovering from a cold, my worst day was Monday. Well, last night hubby went to lie down for a few minutes when the girls went to bed at 8pm. I ended up doing four loads of laundry, getting the cat into his carrier to sleep in the house (since it was supposed to be so cold last night, and he just was neutered on Wednesday.) and going to bed. Hubby woke up at midnight, surprised he had been asleep at all. I think he must have caught my cold.

NO MORE SCHOOL FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!!! Can you tell that I am excited about that? I am in need of a good break, particularly from the running Charlotte into town for preschool part. Still trying to figure out what to do for Charlotte next year, but at the moment, our top idea is a virtual charter - particularly if they do get the contract with a speech pathologist in the nearest big town that they are working on!

We've let Simba, our kitty, into the house a lot more than normal in the past few days - mostly because we feel bad about him being out in the cold alone right after getting fixed. It's pretty funny. Bubba, our pug dog, seems to think that cats should run when he barks at them and chases them. Simba came from BILs house, and they have a very hyperactive dog that is bigger than Bubba, so Simba isn't scared by Bubba. Well, that makes Bubba scared of Simba - when hubby and I and the animals were home alone (the girls went to CCD with Grandma, but I skipped because she was showing a movie to everyone, and I wasn't feeling too great) Bubba kept trying to scare off Simba, but Simba would just chase Bubba around the living room.

We had our 12th church anniversary on Sunday. Problem is that I didn't remember at all that day, and hubby didn't remember at all that day (we had his extended family Christmas that day), and in fact I didn't remember until my MIL told me she felt bad about forgetting it, and I had to fess up that I hadn't remembered until she mentioned it. Hubby didn't remember until we mentioned it to him when he got off work. Yeah, we are pathetic now!

We'll be doing Christmas with hubby's siblings (and parents) on Monday after we get back from the mountains. I'm supposed to stop and pick up some take and bake pizzas on the way home. That's my kind of Christmas get together - pizza, salad, beverages, and a chance for Eva to try out her new Wii games with her aunts and uncle!
