...That it's Thursday already.
....That it's already been a week since going on vacation. (which i do have a lot to say about, but not sure if everyone really wants the details or not)
....That Thanksgiving is in ONE WEEK. holy crap.
....That Christmas is in 33 days or something crazy close to that. (why does this stuff always just sneak up on me like this??)
....That our school year is just about 1/2 over already. Already?
...That it was 80 degrees yesterday, and tomorrow it's supposed to be freezing and raining like crazy.
...That Christmas is in 33 days! Did I say that already??
....That I'm getting a cold. And I can already tell it's going to be a bad one. not that I really can't believe that, it's just ugh....I don't want to be sick.
Anyway...
so speaking of Christmas...what is TOPS on your kids wish-lists this year? Our kids already know that Disneyland was a big (read: expensive!) part of their Christmas this year. So I'm not going all out but...
Anyway, Megan still is at the age where she doesn't really have anything specific. She still just likes horses. And clothes.
Jake, on the other hand, really wants a Nintendo DS. And I was sort of all for it....until I saw the price. Man, those things are not cheap! Of course, I think everything over a dollar is expensive ;) but $169?? It's more than I wanted to spend on just one thing. What do you think? Do your kids have one? Is it worth the money? I mean, I know the kids like them...everywhere we go we see some kid with their face stuck to one. So...maybe I'm just being cheap. Which yeah, this is ME we're talking about here. ;P
Well, that's all I got for now. My nose is stuffy, and my throat hurts. Off to nurse this yucky cold...

i know this week i started panicking that we are getting so close to christmas and i have nothing done!!
jack keeps telling us he wants santa to 'surprise' him and lauren and william both want a walking stuffed animal dog (that is $45!!) i totally know it is a waste of money and i don't want to spend that kind of money on something they will be over in two weeks - but at the same time i want the magic of santa bringing what they asked for...
ugh, yes... those stupid DS are too expensive. Lincoln is getting an ipod with his birthday money, so maybe we will get him the dock? I don't know, part of struggles with getting them more stuff they don't need, and teaching them that Christmas is about Christ's birth!
Tanner has a DS. We bought it BEFORE it was so darn expensive. (he has a older model). He likes it, and when he first got it, he played ALL THE TIME it seemed. Now, it's a every once and awhile thing. It's good for travel.
I guess it comes down to finding a good deal. And then, it's remembering that the games are like $30 a pop, unless you get them used.
Thank goodness Tanner wants a pillow pet and a Paper Jams guitar this year. :)
