We have been extremely busy the past few days and there is no end in sight!! Thursday was scouts night and I had to pick up one of the girls at her daycare as her dad got stuck in traffic on the way home. I brought her back her to feed her dinner as we were all meeting at Wal-Mart to shop for the family we adopted. I picked up my girlfriend and her DD and then we swung by and picked up the 1st girls dad. Drove through the torrential rain and thankfully we managed a quick shopping trip. Back to 1st girls house for cocoa and cookies with all the girls and parents.
Friday was busy with the usual stuff. Eric dropped Em and Mo off at his parents for the night. Once the daycare kiddos left Eric, Lu and I headed out to shop. We got almost all of Christmas Shopping done in about 2 1/2 hours. Came home, put sleepy Lu to bed and then sat down and watched White Christmas.
Got up this morning was out the door by 8:40am to deliver and wrap the Scout presents. One of the other girl's mom came with me and we had a great time and thankfully only spent about an hour there. Came home and then headed back out to finish up the rest of our shopping. I have only a few things left, mostly gift cards and Eric's parent's gift (which he'll get Friday).
Once I got home and Lu was down for her nap, Em, Mo and I started decorating our tree. I really want to head into the kitchen once the girls are in bed and mix up a few batches of cookies. We'll see how that goes!!!
Tomorrow is church and then Dana, her girls, my mom, sister, niece and nephew are coming over to decorate gingerbread houses. Which reminds me I need to assemble those tonight so they'll withstand the girls decorating!! There goes the cookie dough! After the houses are done it's cookie decorating time.
Monday is Emma's concert at school. Tuesday afternoon one of my girlfriends and I are delivering some presents to the family whose dad died over Thanksgiving. I am sure that will be pretty emotional. That evening I have to meet up with one of the scout's parents to rework our schedule. Our "scout" dad is having surgery on his ankle the end of Jan and we need to accommodate that as he will be recovering what could be 10 weeks. Wednesday night is Mo's Preschool concert and then Thursday is our last scout meeting before the holidays. Next weekend is just as busy with a sleepover on Friday night, cleaning Saturday, and Christmas breakfast with my mom's family here on Sunday morning, then church and then Hanukkah with Eric's parents Sunday night!

No rest for the weary!!
I am sure that everyone else is just as busy. But if I don't get on much this week you know why!
Have a great night DDA!
