So, this morning at work I couldn't figure out why the graduate assistants were hurrying to finalize their reports for the semester. I was thinking, "Gee...you guys need to be here all next week during exams." It turns out that I'm a week behind!!!! OH MY GOSH!!! I started hyperventilating when they told me that Christmas is in two weeks!!! What planner have I been looking at these days??? I'm VERY behind to say the least. I started shopping in September the last few years...a little each paycheck. Nope. I was sooooo focused on paying off my student loan, that my Christmas gift planning went out the window. Yes, major UGH.
I took the boys after school today to get their Christmas picture. Oh how I love Portrait Innovations. I do very well when I say to myself, "9.95, 9.95, 9.95..." That's how much it could cost someone for the package promo. But, they tend to take TONS of pictures, you fall in love with all of them and could easily walk out spending $300. Not me! Maybe it's the Scottish genes in me? I wasn't so sure we were going to do well in the picture today. Let's see...Gavin woke up from his nap 15 minutes before we had to leave to get Ian. I wanted Gavin dressed in his outfit before getting Ian. That was a major struggle. He wanted to wait until Ian put his clothes on. NO...I wouldn't have time to get both ready!!!! Gavin proceeded to scream for 10 minutes and I even bribed him with some gummy worms!!! He was not liking it at all waiting for Ian...no laughs, no smiles, etc. Picked up Ian and he claimed he wasn't going to smile in the pictures. Oh boy!!!! They did some pretty funny noises with the boys, but Gavin's tongue kept coming out during the pictures! LOL Ian looked at the workers like they were nuts. But, we managed to get a good one. So, you'll see it in a few weeks. You would think I would be stamping our cards, but NOPE...running out of time and supplies, so still need to get them! LOL
I went out with four friends tonight at Chili's and we had a great time, of course! I meant to take pictures of our group, but forgot to get the camera out!!!! Oh well...next time! I left after putting the kids to bed. I noticed as I was leaving that Ian was looking out the window. Tonight I found out that Ian had a hard time going to bed. Our kids definitely like the schedule! UGH. We need to switch up our schedule every now and then!!!

I don't know Christi, the irish are pretty thrify too! hahaha, we'll see just how much we spend at Sears this weekend!
Gavin sounds like a total ticket, he must make the days pretty interesting!
I didn't even attempt xmas pictures. I knew I would walk out with $100 or more full of pictures. You need to come with me when I go in January for the 18 month pictures.
