At Least 3 Things ~12/03/08~

[aroyer]

I got an advent calendar way back when DS20 was a baby. It's wood, and has little drawers with tiny ornies that you hang on the little knob. OMG, that thing has been used EVERY YEAR since. The kids expect it, even now at 20 and 16. DS20, now will let his DGF do his drawer on his day when she is here it's so cute. I have to say that is one family tradition that we have kept up with, and never changes...

My Amazon orders should start arriving tomorrow...

That is so sweet!!! I hope it will be a tradition from now on!

ashley is that you????
'cause that list looks a lot like Nancy's !!!!!

and i see you have the advent calendar on your list, i bought ds a lego one this year and he is just loving it!

We got the Lego one at DTD last week and Stone is loving it. He has been in a hurry to get ready in the mornings becasue he can do it in the AM if he is ready for school early...if not - he has to wait until bathtime.

We are doing it after supper, homework and shower. It's kind of an incentive to sit and eat supper. He just LOVES it!!!! He was just googling over it this am. and asked it he could please open tonight's now! Really it was money well spent!

Awwwwwww, that stinks that it's ruined!

 

[tinkryansmom]

Hey all!!

Long time....

Been super busy here. Sorry to hear about the ruined Christmas surprise.

Not going to post a list today but wanted to pop in and say HI! I have been thinking of all of you. Really need to get back in the habit.

OK gotta run some errands.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

It's time for the delivery boy to get a beat down!!

you could always say the box was delivered to you by mistake.

 

[ddavis860]

Yeah, I used to say that stuff was being delivered at my house for someone at work

 

[PrincessNancy96]

MO2DK... yep, I'd be saying it was delivered by mistake..that you got a call from the mom and she really wants it back!!!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

MO2DK--I'm so sorry about that!! What time should we all arrive at your house to "take care of" the delivery boy???

I so need to get an advent calendar. DH thought we bought one last year, but I cannot find it. I'm going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow, so maybe I can find one there.

 

[party of 3]

MO2DK- i would be so crying. i'm so sorry.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

MO2DK, I'm so sorry about the messed up Christmas surprise.

 

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

thanks, guys! DD saw me flipping out and then she told DS that it wasn't for us, it was for someone else. I think he believed her. So, she knows, but he doesn't. I guess the games she gets will be her surprise. Oh well....we're still getting it and at least it wasn't from Santa...
