Well, we broke down and bought Sam a 4-wheeler (yes, a real one) for Christmas. And sure, there's a lot of potential for danger in giving a 6 year old something like that, but I really do think he will be fine with it. He's had that fake 4-wheeler for almost two years and I know that it doesn't seem like a fair comparison, but he really has learned a lot about driving with it. I can't wait to see his reaction when we give it to him...he's going to be thrilled!
It is the middle of the day on Tuesday and I am at home. I took half the day off of work to take Sam to the dentist at 2:00. Right now, I have just finished my lunch and I am relaxing for a few minutes before I have to go pick him up from school. Brad and I are both coming down with a miserable cold and it would be so nice to crank up the fire and throw about three blankets over my head and sleep from now 'til next week! But with all the Christmas preparations and getting this last week of school behind me, I just can't do that yet. Gotta keep on truckin'. Lily's last day of school is today and Sam and I will be finished Thursday. I have not wrapped one single gift!! I still need to buy a fancy dress for Lily (I told her Mrs. Claus made fancy dresses for good little girls and sent them with Santa), I have to buy dog bones for Taco and Burger (because that's what Sam asked Santa to bring), and maybe a few more little stocking stuffers. I would love to find a Nintendo Wii for Brad and the kids from Santa but it doesn't look like I am gonna get that lucky. Maybe I can find one after Christmas. I think I am getting something from Brad (even though he would never admit it) so I need to get something for him. I have a few ideas. I usually take the kids and let them buy something for him from them. He has also asked me what I want for my birthday but I really feel guilty letting him buy me anything because I know we can't afford it, especially after what we've spent on the kids' Christmas this year.
Anyway, it's about that time... goodbye peace and quiet! Gone to get Sam, then Lily, then to the dentist, then home to cook, then to dance class.... ah, the neverending list of things to do and places to go.
