it was a magical christmas...

quinn was so ill the entire week befire christmas that he missed his preschool program, we didn't get to make/decorate any cookies, or go to any of the holiday light displays as we had wanted. :( he was feeling better by dec 23...but still pretty worn out. but, on christmas eve, he called me into his bed room, and we both heard santa and the reindeer on the roof!!! the next morning, the cookies and milk were the first things that he checked on and they were gone! and, we found partially eaten carrots on the patio, right by a collar of bells! rudolph dropped his bells on OUR porch, can you believe it?!?!?!

...is santa up there?

i am behind in my being grateful

but to day i am grateful that quinn did not cry when i took him to preschool today....phew....i am also grateful for a brother who is quite interested in cooking....so he experiments....and he is so kind in his experimentation, today he gave us quinn safe homemade chocolate. awesome or what?

i am grateful for ...

Kohl's. after tring to find something (4 major dept. stores and a few boutiques) to wear to the holiday party tonight... i found just what i wanted at kohls....too bad i din't go there first. oh well.

palying catch up

4 days late ... 4 things to be grateful for:

1) that wrigleys gum doesn't comtain the ingredient that is toxic to dogs. why? because percy decided to eat FIFTEEN peices of gum...and foil...and wrapper. but quinn did get to see what the Vet's office looks like and our 'presents' in the backyard are now sparkley!

2) that the KB toy outlet off of easter and serene is going out of business. i got quinn a buzz lightyear costume for $13!!! he has been jumping off th eedge of the bed and reciting "to ah-fin-ney and beyon" cute, eh?

3) that my DH went to AZ last night to watch the NAU vs UNLY game. he brought me back artichoke lasagna from oreganos!!!!

4) that albertson's carries a gingerbread house kit that quinn can eat! yahoo, fun sweet and messy all in one!

day 2

oh! we're on a roll! ;)

i am grateful that my family (outside of tim and quinn) get along so well. i know that there are lots of families that bicker often and don't get together as much as we do. we love and support each other and accept oneanother for who we are.

day 1: thankful for...

my friend has challenged me to blog each day in december. here is her challenge:

For the month of December, every day, let's take at LEAST a minute to blog one thing that we are thankful for, feel blessed for, or are generally tickled green about.

so here we go kids....

i am creting an ABC album for quinn for christmas. i am currently on "F". i am creating this album for him, so i didn't want it to be "A" is for apple, "F" is for frog, etc. i want it to be really personal. so..."F" is for food allergies. although they are really tough to deal with at times (social situations, preschool, road trips, etc) i am THANKFUL and GRATEFUL that he has no illnesses, disease or syndromes.
