Eric's Christmas Concert and Updates

Yes, I know it has been forever! I have not had a camera and it is driving me crazy (I like to post a picture when I blog). It is taking all of my will power not to go out and buy one...but I can't because I think my mom is getting me one for Christmas. Eric had his Christmas concert last night so I borrowed and old camera from work. I tested it before I left and it seemed fine...it is really old. Well, when I started taking pictures at the concert they were all blurry and then the flash stopped working. I was not happy. I am posting the one picture that came out almost ok...and of course he is acting goofy...but, that is my boy I guess. I wanted a nice picture in front of the "fireplace"...he acted like his had was in the fire...lol.

Following up on what has happened in the last month that I have not blogged....hhhmm, really nothing! We went to the Circus and it was fun but we probably won't go again. It was expensive and the place was just to big. It was $50 for 2 tickets, $10 to park, $18 for a stupid toy, $20 for 2 drinks and nachos and a pretzel...so $100 for us to go to the circus. And, I spilled my drink in my lap!

Thanksgiving I ended up cooking a turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, rolls and green beans. An old college friend of mine was in town for the Lions game and came by with his son to eat with us. The only bad part of that was is he ate all of my stuffing, and that is my favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner!

The next day we took the kids to the Ann Arbor Hands on Museum and the U of M Natural History Museum. They had a lot of fun and we had fun hanging out.

Other excitement is Eric is grounded for 3 weeks...he has made it 2 so far. This is the longest I have ever grounded him. He threw a complete temper tantrum in the grocery store. I was so embarrassed. People were peeking around the corner to see the horrid sight. It only started off as 1 week, but he kept insisting he wasn't grounded so it got to 3 weeks before he finally calmed down. Fun fun! The biggest part of his grounding is his DS is taken away.

Also, we have been sick. Eric's behavior may have been slightly influenced by him coming down with this nasty cold. I have been sick for over a week now. I don't think I have ever had so many symptoms in one cold....maybe that is good though, I will get everything at once and be done for the season.

My Christmas shopping is pretty much done. I went the easy way and ordered almost everything on line. I didn't intend to, I only looked online to see what I wanted, but when I went to the store I couldn't find anything.

I will try to be better at keeping up with this. And, if my mom doesn't get me a camera I am buying one for myself! I can't stand not having one!

I hope you feel better soon!

It's a bad time of year to not a have a camera. The picture by the fireplace is cute! At first I thought he had a solo and was singing up there! :D

Yuck, it's not fun being sick!

It's good that only the 2 of you went to the circus at those prices! Doesn't that just make you mad? You want to treat your kids to some good old fashion entertainment and they make you pay at every turn!

I understand about the fits of anger! Luke is prone to those too and he likes to put on a show at WalMart occasionally...the last time was when Levi was visiting! I was not only embarrassed by the other people in the store but also that he would do something like that in front of my brother! Yep, it's lots of fun!

Nice fire picture too! :)
