That's what we've been doing this weekend. Going stir crazy. It has been relaxing too, and I have accomplished a few things on my to do list. We have all 8 been home together since Wednesday afternoon though, so we've been getting a bit stir crazy. We do go out Friday night and look at X-mas lights. We just stayed in our own neighborhood going very slow so we could all just cram in the vehicle together. Yesterday, I had to get out. So, I loaded up 5 kids, (one baby was asleep) and headed to Walmart. I had no expectations for the trip, and nothing I had to have but milk, so I was prepared. Everyone was very good, and glad to be out of the house as well. And guess what they want for Christmas?? EVERYTHING THEY SAW! LOL Which they will only be getting about 2-3 things each...and add up in your head, and multiply that times lots of other family members x 6 kids, and you've got a lot of stuff!
Over the weekend the kids have been on a puzzle kick. And that got me in the mood for a puzzle. When is the last time you sat down and worked a puzzle? I tell ya, it has been a while for me. So, I went back to WM by myself last night...(and picked up a couple of the left over sale items for presents) and got a 500 piece puzzle. I liked this one b/c it has a lot of animal with different patterns, so it that makes it easier to know where all the pieces go. I love puzzles. They are also addictive for me too. Just one more piece for a couple of hours in the floor, and you have one sore body this morning, I tell ya! So, I moved it to the table this morning, and worked all day until I finished it. Now I am ready for another one!
The kids got stir crazy today too, so they went outside for bit....it was a short bit though b/c it is COLD out there!
I found this scooter for her for only a $1 at a garage sale, and it looks brand new.
Theres a story about this hat....last time I went to the doc with baby Z, they forgot about me..I somehow didn't get on the board for the doc, and we sat in there FOREVER. I finally stuck my head out, and when they realized they forgot me, they were really apologizing. I guess they went rummaging for anything they could find to give me, b/c they came back with a coloring book and crayons, a little board book, and 4 of these crocheted hats. This one is my favorite b/c it is so colorful.
i've been thinking about starting a puzzle. i've been praying for patience so that i won't give in to being induced. it's hard though. i'm so ready for delivery. so i've been cleaning like crazy and there's always plenty more to do there.
ReplyDeleteI HATE puzzles! If you have time one your hands then you need to come to my house! Hee Hee
ReplyDeleteA good friend of mine has implemented a 3 gift rule for her children. She's done it since her first son was born and it works great for them. She says that when Jesus was born the 3 wise men caming bearing 3 gifts. So, she uses that as the symbolism behind her 3 gift rule. I love that idea.
