Happy 1st December Everyone!

Again its has been about a week since I posted buy I've been productive!

I Have:

• Wrapped 4 more presents
• Ordered a Christmas Carol, Mumpets Christmas Carol and The Snowman on DVD since our video player packed up this year.
• Ordered a lovely xmas book from my work about xmas with lots of pockets filled with letters to santa etc it will make a nice addition to their Daddy's xmas eve story usually just the night before xmas:D
• Looked up BT.com for the new addresses
• Made the boys write out 5 cards each (obviously not DS 3 though he's only 3!). They will be doing that every night this week til they reach their 23 & 24 card target
• Got my tree up on Saturday:j I finally sucummed to blue LED lights wasn't sure about them last year, but they work so well with the silver/white baubles and ribbon
• My boys won a Xmas Eeyore outside decoration at their club on Friday night, so they were delighted to add to the festivities
• Order 9 more things from the man in the red suit, will have to hide them now!
• Ordered 6 more family presents, nearly done. Just to get a digital photo frame to my MIL and FIL and my BILs but my husband always gets that - they've been friends since they were 3 so there is no point getting involved there.

This Week I will:

• Make 3 sock muffins for my 2 boys' classroom assistants
• Write DS 3's xmas cards - hopefully he'll get a list of names today at playgroup.
• Post my local cards through the church 10p a card is cheaper than petrol nowadays.
• Buy second class stamps
• Dish out work's cards
• Get boys to deliver their cards on Friday
• Order DS 1's birthday present (27th Dec) AT-TE and Build Your Own Lightsaber, can't believe he's gonna be 7!
• Order DS 1's birthday cake from bakers
• Go to Salvation Army Toddler's xmas party on Friday :j
• Go to Nexen xmas party on Sunday with boys and my nephew :j
• Wrap DH's present before he spys it - its a thingy for pluggin into computer for recording his music:rolleyes:

Oh my god I feel like dancing, I am so happy that the Advent Calendars are open and the festivities begin THIS WEEK!

Girls (I think) you have all done so well it took nearly 25 minutes to catch up on all your posts. Mel your scrapbook is soooo beautiful, you are very talented!

Sarah I saw a Doctor Who Voicechanger helmet can remeber the character's name it was something Dunjun for £9.99 I don't remember that episode of Doctor Who, it was on play.com. Are your kids looking forward to the xmas special? I know mine are, although saying that not 1 doctor who item on their lists. I think they like the fact they get to stay up later eating popcorn and penny sweets more than the actual programme:rotfl:

Sorry about the long post but like I said I only get to post about once a week.:eek:

Yep DS1 has made his own Doctor Who countdown calander to go with his birthday countdown and his advent calanders (he is mad on it - infact totally obsessed with it LOL) I took him shopping the other day and let him pick an outfit to wear for his birthday and he picked a suit :rotfl: and he says he is going to be the Doctor when he grows up;) , DS2 likes the Doctor but is not as obsessed.

Thanks for the tip on the Voice changer, will pop online after taking them to school and order one.

Take Care

morning all - its December yey!! Advent has started, our beautiful tree is up, our decorations look fab (even if I do say so myself), the advent calenders are filled and the boys woke up to find their first advent gift from the elves under the tree! All is well with the world - oh, apart from the fact that DS1 is ill again with his asthma so i wont be able to go into town to get the bits that I wanted to get Think I'll do some more wrapping as theres not much to do in the house - maybe the ironing (sigh).
Panicked abit when D and the boys came back with the tree - it looked huge and we dont have a huge house. Theres never an 'obvious' place for the tree to go - i wish there was. So its now obstructing one seat on one sofa (the 'visitor sofa) that we dont use lol. Its not ideal but I have to say, now that its all trimmed up it looks fab. Had great fun doing it yesterday with the boys - this is what xmas is all about!!
