Yesterday after a severe FARINE fit, the Beaver family removed all Christmas from the house. My living area is back to normal! Ray and the kids left around 1pm and didn't show back up until 7pm. I scared them off with all the screaming and cleaning.
Colleen is going to swimming for a few hours and then boys and I will come home and watch football.
We had a Wii miracle on Friday. Conlan's best friend who has not been in our house for over three years b/c of the dog, came over to play on the Wii. It was a very big moment. His dad brought him with his two younger brothers to protect him from Cece. Jaylon said he would come over again, but I am sure he will never show up without plenty of warning!!

A Wii Christmas!
Santa brought the kids a Wii! The kids have had so much fun the last 24 hours. We have even witnessed cooperative play between the three of them. I think Ray enjoyed the day more than anyone. He didn't take off his pj until 2pm. He actually relaxed! I think the couple of days in NJ and two days at home as been wonderful for him to just slow down. Colleen and him did get up at 5:30 to go to the Y. Colleen swam for 3 hours and Ray worked out for 1 1/2 hours. They are currently on their way to do some hunting. Unfortunately it is raining, so I don't know how long they will last. Colleen might have web feet!
The best gift of Christmas is the birth of Jesus. I pray that my kids will always remember that is the most important.

Early Christmas in NJ
We spent the weekend in NJ to visit the Devos Family. Ann looks beautiful, but she feels awful. She will have a baby boy by Jan. 5. Ann and I finished the baby getting ready stuff. The kids had a great time playing with each. Louis and Ray did some male bonding over making moose jerky, shopping and drinking a wee bit.

Didn't she get her shots?????
I was discussing with Colleen and Rachel about Jamie Lynn Spears being pregnant. Conlan was sitting in the chair listening and then ask "Why didn't she get her shots?" Conlan might be in need of THE TALK, or at least be told pregnancy is not a virus!

Tuesday
I have to get motivated and do some Christmas shopping today. I have been subbing and haven't had time to get things done.
Our weekend was pretty uneventful. Colleen's swim team had a speaker that is the Redskins team nutritionist. She talked about healthy eating and what not to be putting in their bodies. It was very interesting. I think I got more out of it than Colleen. D-man had a soccer game and they won 3-2. Colleen also won her soccer game 9-2.
We have also had an extra child the last few days. Rachel's parents went off to celebrate their 20 years of marriage. Rachel is a great kid. She doesn't cause a moment of trouble. Her and Colleen have been best buddies since 2nd grade.

odds and ends
The next couple of days I get to be the PE teacher. Conlan said "I will be so embarrassed!" Oh well! We are going to try and do the Christmas tree tonight.
Basketball started for Colleen last night. She said she had fun, she is with the same group of girls she has been with the last four years. She also talked one of her best buddies into playing with her.

A Speedo swimsuit and a fishhook!
Conlan went to swimming on Monday night. While swimming he noticed something poking his leg, when swimming was over he decided to check it out. There was a fish hook snagged in his bathing suit! I was so thankful he didn't get the hook caught in his skin. Ray and I have always called Conlan "Angel Bait", little did we know he actually is bait being watched over by angels:) We have no idea how the hook and swimsuit met, maybe they hooked up in the washing machine!
I have been volunteer person this week. We are having our Santa workshop at school this week and I am in charge of making sure there are plenty of volunteers there to help out. Also I am volunteering with the Salvation Army Christmas Tree program and I am working on the Parent Advisory Council for Title One schools for the county. I don't know how Ray expects to go out and work! I am getting in a little sub. time today, get to teach Spanish to first graders and kindergartners. I get to have D-man's class. D's class is the special class, half are very bright and well behaved and the other half is EXTRA SPECIAL. D on most days is in the bright, well behaved half:)
