Time is flying!

I really want to be a good blogger. I think I just need to accept the fact that life just keeps happening. Did you know Thanksgiving is next week...NEXT WEEK! How did that happen. It feels like is should only be August. Did we lose a few months this year? Thanksgiving means the kids are out all week. That means I need to try and finish (and start) my Christmas shopping this week. Celebration is approaching very quickly. If you haven't bought your tickets now is the time. Go to http://thefirstchristmas.org/ and buy them...today! It is only 23 days away. I did get some shopping done tonight. Three kids are taken care of for Christmas. Thank you internet!

I just had a perfect example of how side tracked I get. While waiting for this photo to upload...not sure if it should do it automatically with iCloud, I clicked something in iTunes. Not sure what I did, but I ended up with 3 extra copies of every calendar entry. I like to think of myself as somewhat tech savvy, but this whole iCloud has thrown me for a loop. I think it is GREAT, but Marc and I have always used the same account. When you plug into the computer the checked stuff syncs, and it is all kept separately. Now I have all of his contacts, and he has all of mine. I can't delete them until I set up a new account for one of us. Of course I didn't know this initially, and I deleted some of his friends off my phone. The next time his phone did the whole iCloud thing, those contacts were deleted from his phone...oops. Anyway, I ended up deleting all of the extra copies off my phone, because I don't want them to do the iCloud thing and put a gob of "guitar lessons" all on the same day at the same time on both computers.

The church is now decorated for Christmas. It looks so good. Hannah is super excited!

Now this photo...

Sunday after church Hannah very very excitedly ran to the tree and said, "Momma, take a picture of me by the tree." How can I not? Here is the photo.

She then walked around the tree pointing out EVERYTHING! She even found a bird. She talked to it. She pet it. She asked me take a picture of it...I didn't. Then she looked at the stuff on the wall. She was so excited about the snow. She kept touching it and wanted to play with it. Then she found a pine cone. If you remember a while back, we had a collection. She would pick one up every day when we left the YMCA. She asked if she could bring the pine cone home. I told her no. Then she went back to inspecting the snow. I sat there and thought about it. Hannah has never seen REAL snow. I think she thinks the stuff on the tree and other decorations is real snow. (I am giggling just thinking about it) When... or if she ever sees real snow, she is going to be surprised because it is cold...and wet.

I know it has snowed here like 3 years in a row, but Houston snow is not real! You can't even see it in photos. It is just tiny little flying flakes. It doesn't stick, and it doesn't really accumulate anywhere.

I swear I am not ADD, but this post is all over the place. I think I am going to stop now.
