I do not have an issue with getting older. I do find it funny that a woman I have not seen in years asked me how old I was and I told her, then she gasped and shouted "That is almost 30!!!" Thanks! LOL! But this woman has known me since I was a very young child so this probably was a big shock! She was also surprised to here about my having 4 kids. And about my sister's new baby! But it was really good to see the woman who was always like a second Mother to me my entire childhood.
As the Holidays approach I probably wont be as chatty as I have been in the past months... I know that that was still rare, but I am getting better... I think! I still have a busy month. My kiddos have a lot of school to get done. However, they are ahead of the game by 2-3 weeks worth of percents now as well. I am pretty sure that the 1st grader is going to complete one entire course by the end of next week. This particular course only has 15 lessons to begin with so it is no real shock that he is already over 50% done with it, with an estimated end date of January 30th! He has 2 lessons that need him to go to a grocery store or super market and we need to go get groceries tomorrow so I think he will be going with us just for that and we can have him fill out his paperwork for those while we are there!
So, as I said, My Birthday is coming up... And so is Christmas! This year we are going to have a pretty good Christmas for the kiddos as far as gifts go! They are all getting things they are going to just love! (with the exception of the oldest, who already has his gift! He needed his computer replaced before Christmas could get here so he got his gift early!) As for the other boys, I will not mention just yet what they are getting just in case my oldest decides he wants to read my blog (which he has done once or twice!) and then "blab" to his little brothers! As far as things for me from my kiddos go, I know what 2 of my gifts for my birthday are and that is only because they are from the 2 littlest boys and one was purchased by me after my 4 year old said he wanted to add to my Santa collection! It isn't exactly the right type of Santa thing, but it is super cute and I do love it! I will post photos after my birthday for all to see what I get!
I love this time of year and already have my tree up (tiny one this year since we are not going to enjoy it for all that long), my Santa collection out (running out of room and in desperate need of more space just for them!), and I am just about ready to send out my Christmas cards to both family and friends(my fellow Mamas of November 2011 Babies)! I have gotten photos taken throughout the year and stuffed them into some envelopes with cards and then I made a few little creations of my own recently that I printed out to send off as well. Along with other gifts that I am also not able to mention now, my Christmas crafting and card stuffing and licking is almost coming to a close! That is exciting for me! Now to get to the post office and mail a few packages and my cards and I am set! I also need to buy quilt batting to finish up a few last minute, in the process for a long time, gifts! I also have been being a crocheting fool the last few nights! LOL! There are just so many things I started or got the materials to do while my sister was pregnant that I wanted to get finished and didn't that I now have gifts for the next couple years I think! And that is just fine! I also have birthday gifts I can give in there too!
In my spare time on Thursday and Friday, since my boys did so awesome with school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and were finished up early on Thursday and Friday! I was able to create some neat photos of each of my kiddos! Here they are...
I printed each of these photos out in 5 x 7 size and had them sitting around the base of my tree to dry. They are now awaiting frames! LOL!

| This is my oldest! I love all of these photos of him! The youngest is from when he was about 1-2 weeks old! The top left photo was shortly after he figured out how to do the peace sign! |
 |
| My #2 boy! Isn't he so super cute??? He has been posing for some time now! Well, for home photos, never for studio photos! LOL! |
 |
| The 4 year old! Such a little ham this one! My favorite here is him chomping on the watermelon! All animals on this photo were chosen by little man himself! |
 |
| This is the photo that started it all! I found a program that allowed me to make this collage and this is the result! And I love it! These photos are basically one from each 12 months of his life! Start at the top left and then go clockwise! And of course pregnant in the middle photo! |
I also made some Christmas ones that I will wait until closer to Christmas to post!
