Today, i wasn't sure what I was going to do with the boys. I knew that I wanted/needed Rich to work on the basement (we are so close!), but wasn't sure how to entertain the boys. Well, I decided I'd take them sledding this morning. They knew they had to nap this afternoon so that they could stay up to watch part of the game, so this was a good way to wear them out!
They all absolutely loved it. I definitely got a work out though because I went up and down the hill almost as many times, just none of them were on a sled :) Plus I had to pull, or carry, Max up the hill :) But no matter, we were the only ones there, so we had a blast! See for yourself!

School vacation week
Well, here we are on Friday and both the kids and I have managed to remain unscathed... so far! We have actually had a pretty busy week since christmas day, I am looking at 5 more days with them though :)
Wednesday we ended up doing a little shopping and mostly hanging out, I think. I actually can't quite remember what the boys and I did :) Although I do remember heading to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner to celebrate my Mother in law's 60th birthday. She even rode the saddle!
Thursday my cousin Allison came over, she's 10 and the boys, especially Max, love her!
Then we ran to 2 doctor's appts, 1 for Max in which he needed to have his face (sinuses) xrayed. I wasn't expecting that one to go very well, but after about 1 minute of him not wanting to do it, he did great! The other doctor appt was to find out Tim likely had a double ear infection. A little antibiotic and he is fine :)
Then we came home and the boys all took 2 hour naps while Allison played the Wii and I folded a little laundry and read for my upcoming class. Eventually, we decided to make the cookies that Lilly had given the boys. Both Sam and Max donned their new aprons and mixed up their batter.
Can you tell which set of cookies Sam did and which ones Max did? :) I really didn't try to control how they were done :) But they had fun :)
Friday, the boys got haircuts and then my sister came over so I could go grocery shopping. The boys were psyched that they didn't have to go :) Then I took the older two to see Enchanted. I thought it was cute, but it was a little too girly for them :)
And so here we are now. I'm going to d more homework and figure out what we are planning for the weekend. Hopefully working on the basement :)

Merry Xmas everyone!
We had a great day and I owe most of it to Rich. He always makes the whole dinner for my family and he pretty much spent most of the day in front of the sink! Even my brother commented on it.
Although my boys were tired, they had so much fun and I can't say how many times I heard, "This is the best day of my life" from my kids this morning.
But really, I had all my siblings, my parents, along with my gram, 1 of my aunts and my cousin there. We had a great time and despite tired children, I had a great day. Hopefully although my husband was a crazy man who made an AMAZING dinner, I hope he had a good day too. But really I love Christmas and I love my family. Here's some pics...

XMas Eve
As is our typical plan, we spent XMas eve day at my in laws. There are some things that you can pretty much always count on and this year some that you couldn't...
You always know that Kim will bring the beer bread, Tracy will have tons of stuff for all the kids, and that it will just generally be pure chaos with 5 kids around xmas presents.
However, I do not typically have Spam served along with the turkey. Apparently, this was a staple in the Person household growing up. Thank goodness I didn't meet him until college!
As usual, we left with more than we went with, but the boys were happy. As is my family tradition, the boys (and me) all got new jammies to wear for bed. This year the boys had also been asking for robes, so I got them robes and slippers too. Here is a pic:
We did almost get caught by the oldest around 9:20, all the presents were out in the palyroom and under the tree, so I headed him off in the hallway. He then yelled at me that we hadn't gone to bed yet! More posts of xmas day later!

Christmas advent show
As I mentioned the boys had their advent show this week and they did amazing. The school does a really good job with each class... of course I get sappy every time I see them up there :) Here is one montage. I have to post the other video once I get it uploaded.

Quiet house
My house is so quiet!!! The boys are out of school for vacation, but since I still have to work, my mom took them until Sat. morning. This is a good thing, even though I already miss them :)
We had the advent show the other evening and the boys were absolutely amazing. I'll post up a video and pictures soon. I have to get them off the other computer:)
