Christmas Break is Here!

Yahoo! Christmas break is offically here...until January 5th! This time of year is when being an underpaid teacher is so amazingly worth it!

With today being my first "work" day off, I'm left with the question...what do people do all day? By 11:00 a.m., I'd been grocery shopping, cleaned the microwave, finished laundry, visited my mom, played with the monk (a.k.a. Addison), finished wrapping Christmas presents and then contiplated what on earth I was going to do with the rest of my day! If it wasn't a snowstorm outside...I would go out an play in the snow. Well....I would follow Addison around while she played in the snow. Not that I'm complaining about my time off, I'm just so programmed to a daily school schedule, (math 9:10, recess 10:10, writing 10:25.....etc) I'm not sure what to do to fill my free time!

Here's some pictures to show a little of our day.

Addison is contemplating whether this gives her

a better view of "Little Mermaid"

This is what my wrapping buddy decided to do instead of helping .

Here's an added picture from Sunday with Addison in her new Christmas dress.

Merry Christmas!!!

This will take more than touch-up paint!

Bye, Bye Couch!

This is what happens when you try to fit a 96'' couch into the basement and around the corner. I was about ready to light the thing on fire after this happened...but my sister took it for her basement. Did I mention, she already has the exact same couch in her basement? Personally, I think a fire would have been more satisfying!

Trick-or-treating

Here are some pictures of Halloween. I know...it is December.
We ended up going around my parents street since I don't know any of my neighbors. Cadee, Kendall and Stockton came too. It was too funny that night because Addison came home from the baby-sitter's house that day already knowing how to say "Trick-or-Treat". Now everytime she holds a bag or basket of any kind, she walks up to anyone around and says, "Trick-or-Treat". Then she just stands there waiting for something to be put in it.

Waiting for some candy.

All ready to go!
