Best kids ever!

I was standing in line at Costco and I wrapped my arms around Kathryn and started to sing
"I got the best kids ever!"
This lady in front of me turns around and in this totally serious face and tone says.Im sorry, but I have to disagree with you.Then she started to giggle and smiled. So I looked at her (with a surprised look on my face) and then broke out with..
"WE got the best kids ever!!!"
She started cracking up laughing out loud and said.. Ok, I can deal.
It was the funniest thing ever.

I'll write about Christmas tomorrow.
I have to check on Ashlyn, she's having some probs with her breathing.
So far no coughing or wheezing, but she's breathing really fast and has been crabby all evening. Lets cross our fingers she stays out of the hospital.

Lots of Love,
Shel

when did she grow up?

Why do the kids have to grow up and get older?

I wish they could stay little forever.

Kathryn has gotten sooo big. She's so awesome and I love her so so much.

She's just like her dad though at figuring stuff out. I have to boobie trap her presents just like Chris' or she figures out what they are. Chris and Katey decided to adopt a new tradition.

If you figure out what the Christmas present is, then you get to open it. I think I just wont put presents out till the last min. Well, we had Carol get the Green Machine for Brandon, and we wont tell Katey what it is because I dont want her to tell him. She swears she wont, but I still dont want to chance it. Well dummy me put on my AIM that we got a green machine for boy, and she's on AIM too.. so when she logged in, it said it under my name. She thought she was so darn cleaver. When did she get so big?
Yeah, that picture is my little Katey bug.

Carol ROCKS !!!

We have been looking for a Green Machine everywhere. We wanted to get one for Brandon. I have called Walmart, ToysRus, Target, Kmart.... nobody here has one in stock. I thought we could have it shipped but it will be $87 to ship it in time for Christmas. As a last desperate attempt to locate one, I tried the Quad Cities ToysRus and they had 1 left in stock.
Carol went and picked it up.... YES! Carol ROCKS !!!
Thanks soooooooo much!

Lots of Love,
Shel
