Concert

December 9, 2014

On Friday of last week, the 3 year old classes at Maxwell’s school put on their Christmas concert. It was adorable. They’ve been practicing the songs for weeks apparently and, well, you couldn’t tell at all.  But, that didn’t matter because they all looked super cute standing up there!  It was a big crowd too which had to be intimidating for such little guys. Robert sadly had to miss because of the flu but I got there really early and had a front row seat so I could record a bunch of it for him.  Luckily, Maxwell ended up standing on the front row right in front of me!  Yay!

Here’s all 60 kids in the 3 year old classes ready to sing!

Maxwell is on the front right next to Lila, of course. They were glued together the whole concert!

Maxwell was very concerned that I was not doing the right thing.  Here he is telling me to stop taking pictures…

and I think here he’s telling me that I’m supposed to be clapping!  Ha!

They sang quite a few songs but the whole thing only lasted maybe 15 minutes.

They sang Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Christmas Tells of Jesus, Cristo, Cristo (Christ, Christ), Away in a Manager, Baby Jesus, The Angel Band, and We Wish You A Merry Christmas!

Overall it was precious and I couldn’t have been more proud of my little buddy!

And, I have to say, I think he was the cutest one up there too!  🙂

Ho Ho Ho!

Home Stretch

December 8, 2014

Happy Monday!  We’re in the home stretch for the big move on Friday but still lots to be done at the old house like packing…and lots to be done at the new house like FIXING THE NEW HOLES IN THE CEILING.  Oh, yes.  Robert and I walked into the house on Saturday morning to find this…

leak

Yep. Water dripping down from the kitchen ceiling. Talk about feeling like you have the flu! We both felt sick to our stomachs. The plumber got out there right away and luckily, it wasn’t a major problem.  From my rudimentary understanding, a flange on one of the pipes in the bathroom above the kitchen split causing water to leak down through the ceiling.  The pipe is now fixed and the sheetrock and everything else will be fixed soon.  We might be moving in with some holes in our ceiling though…

holes

But, we can handle that. Now we just REALLY need the floor guys to get their job done so everyone else can get their jobs done!  Tick Tock!

In other news, the boys and Susan have been busy cleaning all of their outside toys so we can pack them up.  check check!

We took Spencer back up to the doc on Friday for his ongoing congestion/snot battle and got some Amoxicillin which seems to be, finally, knocking everything out. I was so afraid he was getting the flu too but, so far, the boys and I have all stayed flu-free and Robert is feeling much better.

Friday night some friends threw a little baby shower dinner for me and my friend, Jessica.  It was fun and made me feel very special!

Jessica and I are due within a week of each other and I can’t wait for these babies to be friends!

Finally, the boys looked super cute for church on Sunday where Maxwell sang a few Christmas songs after the 5th grade pageant. Adorable. I tried to get a picture with them and…

yep, that’s about right. I did take some other pics of them before we left the house that I’ll share later.

See you all tomorrow!

Pity and iPhone

December 4, 2014

Let me go down the checklist of my life right now:

8 months pregnant – check

2 toddlers – check

Full time job – check

Renovating a house – check

Moving in 10 days – check

Not one box packed – check

Husband HAS THE FLU – check

Yes, I’ll take any and all pity you’d like to throw my way.  And prayers that no one else gets the flu would be appreciated as well!  🙂

Ok, pity party over.  In other news, my iPhone folder is busting at the seams! So many to share…
