Happy Saturday!!  Hope everyone is having a great day!

YESTERDAY – FRIDAY

We got up early.  Well early for a day off!   Took Tommy to his 4 year Physical.   Everything is great!  He is in the 75% for weight and height.  If he maintains that % he will be around 6 feet tall like his daddy.   Cognitively his is doing great….the Dr tested his knowledge of colors and shapes.   The Dr said…great that he knew them.  I laughed since he has known them for over a year.   I said he knows his uppercase letters and can write his name too.   No concerns there.   We also had the conversation about Tommy sleeping in his own bed.   The Dr wants me to try a ticket system.  We will see.   His ears had no fluid in them and were good.  YEAH!   Tommy got his flu shot and we were on our way.   He didn’t even cry for his shot, but the Dr said the nurse would bring in a surprise.  Tommy didn’t think that was a very good surprise!  The Dr gave him Two stickers!

Then we dropped him off at daycare at his aunties and we started our massive day of shopping!    I am very very happy to say I am done with all my Christmas Shopping except I need to buy something for my hubby!    I hope to get everything wrapped this weekend so that I can send the South Dakota presents home with my parents when then come next week.  We shopped from about 10 to 4:30.  We did stop and have lunch at the Great Moon Buffet.  Then we stopped off at my inlaws to drop off the gifts for the boys.   It is hard for them to get out shopping so we buy the gifts for them to give the boys. 

We picked up Tommy and headed home.  It was hard to keep Tommy awake.  He always wants to fall asleep on the way home.   He stayed awake.  Josh and Amy carried in the Christmas presents for us.  

Josh is so busy this weekend.   He worked last night from 5 to 10.  Then he went straight to the overnighter at church.   He just got home at 7:00 this morning.  He is now sleeping until he goes to work again this afternoon.  Then tonight he is going to the Sadie Hawkins dance with Amy.   The boy is busy!   But it gives us a quiet weekend too, which is nice once in a while. 

Oh yeah….I made a great Broccoli and Cheese Soup that Tommy just loved!   He ate a whole bowl of it.   We are going to have it for lunch again today.  (I will share the recipe later)

TODAY

Hmm….we should be home most of today.   We will be going to the library this morning of course.  I have a lot of books to pick up for Erik to review due to all your great recommendations.

Then I want to just get caught up around the house with laundry, wrap presents, cook some meat and cleaning.   Life gets so busy!     I need to finish my book this weekend too for book group next week.   Well I am off to get ready to start my day.  Have a great one!
