Christmas fun

We made stockings for Family Home evening last week. It was nice and fun to see how the girls decorated their stockings...they have such different personalities.

Consintrating so hard!

Finished Products.......So great!

We also decorated our tree. We've added some more since this ( I found some pink ornaments and of course had have those!) hehe.

All three working together

Bethanie asking if she could put an ornament on a certain spot. She asked almost every single time. haha.

Just like with the stocking, Breana concentrates on all the tasks she does.

Juliet being taller then the twins, can reach farther up the tree so she did most of the top ones.

Even Daddy helped out. I made him take like five pictures until I was convinced he looked like he was having fun. :D

Love having Family Christmas things to do. The girls are off for Winter Break for the next few weeks. We are going to try to take them Ice skating....we'll see how well that works out.

IMPORTANT POST

Some knew about the red light on cars, but not the 112.

It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her
and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road,
but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.

Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called 112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away. She proceeded to
tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place. *Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about 112.

sorry so late

So I've been super busy...I'll give you a quick timeline and some short stories of what happened.

We started out at about 11pm and drove up to the Legends mall. I was hoping to win the years worth of shoes from Off Broadway shoes...sadly I lost. Mom was hoping to win the years worth of Mortgage...sadly she lost. The first lady whose name was pulled, was not there. So then they called the second name which was some guy who was like great, whatever. I'm hoping he was just so cold he couldn't give a reaction and not that it went to someone who was entering to enter. that would be so unfortunate. After that we tried to tell each other where we were going. ...Mom and Susanne went to wal-mart and Rina and I went to target, but our lips were literally freezing so we couldn't talk...that was kinda comical. Course it was 3 am and bitterly cold.

Target was a bust. We were like 150th person in line and by the time we got in the store all the good stuff was gone. I was hoping to get a TV....sadly I did not.

Mom and Susanne were much more successful at Wal-Mart, snagging two TV's. However, someone stole one right out of moms basket....can you believe that? Mom confronted her but she denied it completely so mom did the best next thing. Followed her around the store all the way the check out line and gave her the stink eye! You go mom!

After the disaster of Target, we went to Staples and I was the third in line..so I got my laptop! YES!!!!

We went to breakfast and then finished off most of our shopping back at Target.

By the end of the day, we got some pretty good deals, had some pretty good laughs and made yet another year of BF memories! I love that holiday!

BLACK FRIDAY....

well it came and we prevailed....well mostly! I'm going to post more details of the stories of this years drama's but I had to tell everyone what a fun time I had with my mom, sister and my moms friend!

We started out at about 11pm and ended about 10 am.....when I got home I took a four hour nap and woke up to kids fed and playing and dishes done. So not only did my hunny let me shop for ten hours, he let me nap it up and cleaned the kitchen and took care of the kids. Isn't he wonderful?!

Then mom and I went to see Sinbad, who was in town this weekend. He was hilarious. I'm glad I got to go and spend some time with my momma.


Stories to follow...nothing to terribly exciting but you're ganna get them anyway!

Only 5 days left

Yes my friends only 5 days until one of the best times of the year....BLACK FRIDAY.

I looooooove Black Friday! one of my favorite family traditions. We even go when we don't have tons of money cause usually places are giving away stuff and its fun to watch the chaos. This year I actually have a decent budget and am looking to get a few big ticket items. :D

Ya...I'm excited about turkey day but I'm ecstatic about Black Friday! Bring it on people!

I"m like who?

Yesterday when I picked the girls up from the Boys and Girls club, Bethanie was chewing on something. So I say:

"What are you chewing on"

"Gum"

"Where did you get gum, cause you know you shouldn't have any"

"Breana"

Breana: "NO YOU DIDN'T"

Me: "Did you give gum to Bethanie"

"No"

"Did you give gum to Bethanie?"

"No"

- insert mommy look -

Juliet: "Yes you did you took it out of your mouth and gave it to Bethanie"

- insert me gagging-

Me: "Breana, both of your sisters are telling me you gave Bethanie gum...I will ask you one more time....did. you. give. gum. to. bethanie?!"

"yes"

At this point we all walk to the car. Bethanie and Juliet are ahead of us and I hang back just a tad with Breana.

"When we get home you are to fold not only your clothes but all the clothes, including Juliets and Bethanies"

"ok mommy"

We get in the car and I try not to allow the other girls to hear when one is getting in trouble but sometimes it just can't be helped. Its quiet in the car on the ride home cuase they all know one is in trouble. Then Juliet pipes up

"Its just like Cinderella"

Me: "what?"

"Its just like Cinderella and your like the evil step mom"

Of course then I had to talk to her about not getting into other people business and how I'm NOT like the evil step mom and what not (course for all I know, they probably think I am!) but goodness...isn't that just a peach. I'm officially the evil step mom cause I made one of my kids fold clothes! the horror of it all! I should be locked away and lashed with a wet noodle.

Half of me thought it very comical, the other was a tad bit stung by it. But they are children and they still tell me they love me so.....I can't be that horrid right? It will be a funny story to them one day.

Joke, oh so funny

This morning Breana and Juliet were in the back seat whispering and whatnot and then they started laughing.

I ask them what so funny

Juliet says "listen to my joke"

" I wish we had six fingers on each hand, cause then we would have two fumbs (she says the 'th' on all the other 'th' words, except for thumbs)"

she pauses for a second and you can see all three girls poised to laugh at the very second I understood the joke....which I was not

so Juliet continues "Get it?..... two fumbs!!! HAHAHAA"

All three girls bust up laughing, after they calm down they look at me in the mirror and I say "i'm sorry I just don't get it"

Juliet rolls her eyes and says "oh mom" and looks at her sisters like I'll never understand them.

I guess I'm just to old.... :)
