- Jack comes up with these really cool and adorable things sometimes. Last summer as we drove over the viaduct, he said, "Look mommy, it's a cloud factory." I thought it was so precious that he saw a cloud factory when everyone else sees a filthy, stinky industrial plant. I even scrapped it. 
And today he came up with another precious little statement. As we were driving down Eldorado, we passed St. Patrick's Church and Jack said, "Look Parker. That's God's castle." Castles are just about Jack's most favorite thing in the world. Love it!!!!
- I have lost my voice and I sound like I've been a smoker for the past 20 years.
- Listen to what I managed to do in the 2.5 hours that Jack is in preschool. I went to Walmart and got a bunch of groceries. When I got to the check-out, I realized I didn't have my debit card so I had to use a credit card. Then I was worried about where the debit card was so I went home to find it. There it was on the counter. Well, I had more stuff to do so I headed back down to Dollar Tree for a few things. Then I went to the bank. As I passed Aldi I noticed there weren't too many cars there so I popped in there to get more groceries. I'm trying to get the things I need for Christmas dinner before the 24th. Then I remember that I have forgotten to pick up some pictures at Walmart so I go back there. Then I went to get gas. Then I went to pick up Jack but I was early so I had enough time to write notes to 3 of the parents and climb into the church attic to get down the Christmas program supplies. That was a good morning. However, I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to recover from my morning. Then we got Parker from the bus stop, went to McDonald's because they were ssssstttttaaaaarrrrvvvvinnng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then to Connor Company to drop in and say hi to daddy, Uncle Jim and Terry. Then to Kroger to get peppermint extract but they don't have any because it's 2 weeks until Christmas and it's all sold out. Then to Walmart who is also sold out but does have peppermint oil which will work just as well and is quite a bit cheaper.
-My Christmas cards came today so I will be sending them out this week. A lot late for me.
- I work at Parker's school tomorrow. As always, I am a tiny bit nervous but also excited. It's FUN!
- I hate ice. I mean, I like it in my drinks, just not on the road and the trees and my car and every surface outside. It's pretty for an hour and then it just looks like trouble to me.
- I am trying to figure out when I can take the boys to the East Peoria Festival of Lights. You haven't seen anything until you have seen this. They will LOVE it!!! I love it. You can't not love it.
- Santa Claus has made several timely calls to our house lately right when a fight has broken out. They buy it every time. In fact, Jack is worried sick that he might not get any presents.
- Did you know that Santa also has the power to demand hair cuts?
- "No hair cuts, no presents." That is what the man said to my shaggy boys.

"God's castle"...I love it! And that he's worried sick he won't get any presents! :)
Exactly how much caffeine did you drink this morning? I have to know because I want to consume the same amount of energy tomorrow. You go girl--talk about productivity!
Whenever Gabe starts acting out I start singing.."he sees you when your sleeping, he knows when your awake, he knows when you've been bad..."
Very suttle and it works every time. Too bad Jacob and Jared have out grown it!
Jack's page is one of my favorites (and it's hard to choose). Great day! You are so lucky that you don't HAVE to go to a job too. You are blessed.
