December recap and a sickie





WHEW! It has been a while...so, posting some pics from December. Can't believe January is flying by. Devyn's best gift would have to be her pink Dell laptop. She loves it! We were mean and wrapped up the pink mouse-tried to pull it off as "the gift" but she was too smart to buy it. She laughed hysterically and then said "o.k. guys, where is the computer?". Kids these days. Can't be happy with a super cool pink mouse. I mean, not every kid has a pink mouse, right? Besides that, she got a ton of clothes and scarves, purses, earrings, etc. Typical girl stuff and not any of it did she "need". Does anyone feel like their kid is truly a tween now? Sometimes I look at her and think she is a kid still-plays American Girl with her friends, Polly Pockets, doll house, needs mom and dad-sometimes more a teen-wants to dress up, wear make-up, have a cell phone (cuz EVERYONE in 4th grade has one-REALLY???)have sleepovers, is SASSY.....not sure about this in-beTWEEN stage.

New Year's- spent with our friends and their kids, ate WAY too much, played lots of games, talked, and then screamed up and down the neighborhood at midnight(my husband did-along with the huge blow horn he had). Sure the neighbors loved us. Devyn loved Katey's human gerbil ball (see picture)

Now Devyn is sick. Was at a sleepover and they called my husband to come get her. She had a fever of 102. I was scrapbooking, of course. I would have come home too but she was asleep. No point in ruining my scrapbook night, right? This a.m. the fever was gone only to come back after she was moving around more. I hate how fevers do that. My friend said her kids had it for 5 and 6 days. I am glad it is a holiday weekend so we have time to re-coop. She had better recover soon. I can't miss work on Tuesday. Hope everyone stays well!
