My 8 year old son scored his first goal of the season today. After we returned home from the game I commented that I was going to update my facebook status about it. He ran over to me and said "Blog about it Mom! Blog it!" How could I resist. So here you go. I am blogging about how proud I am of D and how hard he is working at hockey this year. Way to go D!
Since I am here I figured I would give you all an update on how I have been. Last week was super busy with finishing up a bunch of loose ends at work and running errands galore. I am so happy that I have nothing on the schedule this week. Except for maybe have this baby! I mean come on kiddo. It is 10 days from your due date. With the amount of contractions I have been having you would think I was ready to go. But no, not the real thing yet. We have the room set up, I have the clothes all washed, the blankets all stacked, the diapers ready (Thanks Shannon!). I have even been napping every day. I AM READY. Now if only my body would do its part. Other than M's JK Christmas party on Thursday I have no commitments for the next two weeks.
This week we even managed to put up our Christmas tree. For obvious reasons, I am keeping the decorating to a minimum this year. If I don't we could end up with decorations still out in March. So all we did was the tree, the mantle and the outside stuff. It is so amazing to see how much the boys have grown and matured. After setting up the tree, the lights and the garland, Kev and I handed the boys the box of unbreakable decorations and told D to do the top half of the tree, and M to do the bottom half. As far as I am concerned it looks beautiful! Even more so since they decorated it themselves. I haven't so much as rearranged one ornament. They are very proud too, which is nice. I helps that we have a 8 year old who is 4'10" tall. So he had no problem reaching the top of our 6 foot tree.
I haven't had any time to read blogs this week. My reader is at a frightening 853 unread posts. I spend some time visiting my cyber friends this week, I promise! Hope all is well with you all! Take Care.

Tell your son WAY TO GO! That's awesome!!!!! I'm so happy because my boys had their first swimming lesson today! I was so happy that my 4 year old went in the water and had a great time. When he was done, he ran to me and told me how much he loved it! Yay! (Last year he wouldn't even go in the water!) And my baby had a blast too in the mommy and me class. Anyway I'm rambling SORRY!!! 10 days to go, huh? WOW. You are SO SO READY! Come on little baby!!! Your mama is ready!!! :) Can't wait to see pictures!!
Way to go, D!
(by the way, you're part of my Xmas shopping list in my Monday Mission post)
Oooh, when I saw this post in my reader I hoped it was a birth announcement! As soon as he's out, be sure to let us know, I'm coming right over to meet the little one.
And many congrats to D, he's such a sweetheart!
Way to go D... your first of many, I'm sure!
If you want this baby to come, you need to plan a day of lots of activity where is would be inconvenient to go into labour... that's how mine always came!
FIRST GOAL! WHOOHOOOO!
Way to go dude!! He must be stoked to want you to get on the computer immediately. Isn't funny the world our kids are growing up in? They have no problem being front page news on a blog :-)
My daughter often says, "post what I did on Facebook", or "scan my picture for your friends" (she's 5 and understands all-too-well Mommy's cyber-world :)
Glad the pregnancy is going along so well. Not long now :)
