Is it really the holiday season already...?

Christmas is my favorite season/holiday everything....I love it and look forward to it every yr. Just thinking about it normally puts a smile on my face...However this yr not so much. I can't see to relax...my christmas music isn't working for me either. First yr I don't have my shopping done(I had both kids with me today trying to pick things up and ugh I was lucky I got through two stores but barely). I have so much more to do too and I have no disire to go out there and do it. I normally love going out and just walking around and looking at the decoration etc too....my tree still only has lights on it and sort of garlen on it(Jonas keeps pulling it off). I don't know something is just sort of off this yr with me and it truly sucks big time... Hopefully Christmas day will make me feel better. Both boys are really excited even Jonas(he feeds off of Noah a lot). However he also acts so much older than almost one, everyone looks at his size and things he's younger but if he out and playing or running everyone thinks he older. His vocabulary and sounds is growing by the day. He also can get Noah going pretty go(you think it would be the other way around). So I am hoping whatever is missing at this moment will find me on Christmas day. I still have to sew Jonas stocking together, hopefully this week. I have some Christmas chocolates started but no wheres in the mood to finish them. ...ugh this does not feel like Christmas at all.

Jonas's birthday in Friday. I think we are just having a Wesley and Sier(their friends) over for dinner and cake on Saturday. Where did my little boy go.

Well I got to wrap some of the kids stuff so they don't find it. hope you all had a good weekend.

some video's of the kids

Thought you all would enjoy some video's of the kids.

Jonas is using up his last bit of energy before bed, and not the best on of Noah's sing abilities(he can actually sing almost the whole song) since he was distracted with the hockey game on. He was being silly and singing while he put some toys in his pj's so the bell sound is from some of the toys down in leg of his pj. enjoy

Thanksgiving

is today down here and we decide to save the turkey for Christmas. I was not going to cook two in 30 days. I did make a pumpkin pie this morning though and I can't wait to eat it. This is pretty much the last long weekend, vacation and maybe weekend for us to really enjoy. Tom's last day at work was yesterday and his first day at work will be Monday. There are going to be some long hours over the next two yrs and no vacation days but just the normal holiday days which in the high tech world and especially in the start up world too aren't to many. I just hope Tom really will enjoy this work, I need a happy man coming home to us. Well hope everyone having a good day I got to run b/c I don't want to waste the time I have with all my boys on here. Happy American Thanksgiving, our tree is going up this weekend I can't wait. Hello Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Change is here

I wrote awhile ago of change and it can finally be public now that Tom gave his notice at work on friday. That is right Tom is leaving Alcatel, a job he has almost been there for 10yrs. He will be joining a start up company here at the end of November. I believe his first day at the new place will be November 30th. We are excited and nervous at the same time but feel it is the right for all of us. Lots of changes are going to happen so that we can make this workout.

Besides that we are fighting off colds here, and we are winning that battle so far. Hopefully the colds will stay mild. Hard to believe Jonas is going to be one next month not sure where the yrs are going sort of scary in lots of way, but exciting too.

Jonas is walking like a camp now and is getting into more stuff if that was possible. Noah growing into a little boy and surprise me all the time with his development.

My big goal is to give up or limit my sugar in take try to continue to eat better. I find on stressful days all I want is chocolate and after eating the boys halloween candy I think it's time get some control I once had and get up early to get the boys ready so we can get us to exercise class. I have still been slacking since we return to California...I hate when I get out of my routines b/c it's hard to get back into them. So on that note it's time to get my lazy bum up and tidy the place and I would take the boys out but do to our colds I think I'll make some play doh for them.

To Pass the time

So what does one do when you are lazy and are so releaved that you got both kids to bed at 6:30, and your other half is extremely busy and out of sight. Well you decide to make a joke between a friend come ture. Yup, that is just what I did. My friend is leaves for Hawaii at the end of the week and I pleaded for her to take me(doesn't look like we'll be taking a vacation this yr :( ). I said I would go in a suit case so she wouldn't have to pay for a ticket. She told me sure and if I actually fit in the suit case to take a picture for her. So here you go Lara....not that she reads this blog(I don't share this site with everyone I know), but did post the pics on fb for her to see them. I do know I am crazy no worries, but it gave her a good laugh and well laughter makes for a healthy life.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween and the boys and their friend Wesley had a blast. We went to a friends neighbour hood for trick or treating and just took the kids up and down the street. They were good at saying Trick or Treat and of course Thank You at the end, as well as throwing a Good Bye too.

Just look at the big man of the house
