An Advent Calendar for Christmas. Thanks to Nancy, we found some at Mrs. Tiggy Winkles at Bayshore. We went with one from Playmobil, for two reasons. The Lego one was a bit more pricey and J kept saying “No Thank You” to Lego. I think it is great to introduce him to Playmobil. He loves little people to play with and they have a really cool Noah’s Ark, which we have been reading about and J is showing lots of interest.
We are on our way to an exciting and eventful Christmas!!
That they couldn’t make it work? I was really rooting for them. I always felt bad for MsSpears, she always seemed to get caught up in just the wrong thing. Then they had their kids and well, you always want to root for the family to stay together. I couldn’t even imagine filing for divorce, well exactly, I couldn’t even imagine filing for divorce, but with a newborn and a year old baby, it just seems that they didn’t have much of a chance to begin with.
My only hope is that whomever has been advising MsSpears these past few years has finally been fired. With her new outlook on looking better, it would seem that she might be getting some advice that is better than what she has had in the past.
Here’s hoping the kids have a loving home and the proper direction they need.

My poor little Hockey Star. He has been so grumpy for the last five days, between the hours of 1 and 3. Hubby and I have not been able to figure it out. Sleep, check. Food, check. Playtime, check. Oh, what can it be? Yesterday, my oh so smart Sister suggested, perhaps he misses his Opa!!!
And to this I had to agree. Opa would play with him for a few hours every afternoon, after we finished our morning stuff. Every single day we do something in the morning together, J and I. But the afternoons are left free because I usually run out of steam. Opa picked up the slack, so it would seem that perhaps I need to pick up where Opa left off.
Anyone up for a game of shinny?
