The Santa Sign is here!

Every year our Christmas season is marked by a series of traditional events, one of the oldest being the placing of the Santa sign. The time has finally come and the kids have hammered this poor, over-pounded sign into the ground outside our house where it will sit until Christmas day, a reminder to Santa of the good little kids living in this house.

I hate exercise

I do. I hate it. I know there are some people that love exercising, but I am not one of them. The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life.

What Was I Thinking?

Today was an official "What was I thinking?" kind of day. Started out early, as I had to go on a field trip with Chase's class. We drove into Portland on a VERY noisy bus, the driver missed the freeway exit for the mall and had to drive an extra 15 minutes around the downtown area to get us there. Then we get there and I find out that I have 6 kids in my group. SIX KIDS. And just me to watch them. In a busy mall (and definitely the least safe in the entire metro area).
