I finally finished my fun project for Christmas. I started this Advent calendar about a month ago and this morning and I finally finished it!!! I love having kids in school:) My kids keep asking me if there was any candy in it yet. Of course not, if there was it would be eaten before December 1st! I think it is going to be so fun to have an advent calendar that is reusable every year:)
I am so excited I finished it before Christmas too. I have to say that doing it at my Crop for the Cure event on Saturday helped too. Everyone there was admiring it too.
I love other peoples approval of stuff. Sometimes you just don't know if it really looks good or if you put the right colors together....I could go on and on. I was just so happy people actually like it and my kids LOVE it! Here it is!!
By the way Randy took Ricky's stitched out on Sunday while I was sleeping:( We were at a friends house for dinner that evening and I asked the husband if he knew how to take stitches out...Here is how it all went:
Ricky: Um mom, Dad took them out already.
Mom: When!
Dad: While you were sleeping.
Mom: Why didn't you wake me up! I really wanted to watch!
Dad: Well Ricky was really nervous. He only wanted me to be in there. He didn't even want Michael. I thought you would be impressed?
Mom: I am totally upset with both of you. I was there for Ricky through all the surgery's and I have been totally nice about everything. The least you both could have done was to wake me up so I could watch.
Then the conversation was done. I ate my dinner and tried to change the subject. I just could get over the fact that he did it while I was sleeping! The lesson I learned is to not nap on Sunday's anymore. I might miss more excited stuff. The scar on his wrist looks really neat, but his elbow just looks like a bug bite with a scab. Today was the first day Ricky went to school without any wrapping on his arm too. He forgot to wrap it this morning. When we were walking to the bus stop he remembered it but it was too late. He was afraid that kids would run away from him because it looks gross. I told him that is crazy, you can barely see them anyway. He seems to be doing good!
