I'm Just not as Cool as You Guys

Obviously, it's monday so it's time for the weekend update.

But first, I'd just like to say.....I've been reading about a bajillion blogs this morning and well, I just don't feel as cool as some of the blogs I read! Man, you heifers are hilarious and it makes my morning to read the funny mess you write.
Thank goodness we are all "friends" so I can pretend to be cool.
And thanks for making me feel like I need to step up my blogging game.

Ok, so back to the weekend update.
We had a laid back weekend that consisted of eating too much food, laughing tons, running not enough, and cleaning and decorating mixed in with a little shopping.

I discovered on Saturday that since we recently bought a house and made the move from an apartment, our Christmas decorations are definately lacking. Our tree is a midget can be referred to as a "little tree". And our ornaments are 90% somebody gave me this or my kids made it so I have to love it type ornaments.
Since our tree is so tiny {and size does matter}, we have decided against my bettter judgement to get a real tree this year.
Our tiny tree and minimal decorations just won't cut it for the keg party  big Christmas party we are having at our house this year.
Stay tune to find out if a squirrel jumps out of our Christmas tree (think A Christmas Vacation horrible live tree with the squirrel) cause that's my biggest fear. Well, that and having to vacuum at least 45 times per day and remembering to water the dang thing. {Which I totally won't do but FH will, and I'll still think about it....}

We also decorated the mantel. And by decorated, I mean that it has some garland and lights, but it looks really pretty in the dark at least....

I like to think my Christmas decorations allow me to "keep it real"....not everybody is a freaking interior designer and can put some dang pine needles up and make the house look AMAZING. Either way, Santa will still be visiting so whatevs.

Also on our weekend list of things we did was run over the basketball. Yep, you read that right.
It takes pure talent to get a ball stuck up in your tire.
And that's what we did.

I thought FH was going to shoot me when he was freaking out that our car was messed up and I asked him to stop so I could take a picture. But luckily, he is the husband of a blogger so he knows how important a story and a picture can be.
No balls were harmed in the making of this story.

And neither was my car.

Last night around 6, after we got home from the grocery store, I got an email from K&A's teacher reminding us to not forget our salt dough for the volcano they are making in class.
Awesome. It's due tomorrow she said.
So off FH went, back to the store to get the makings for the dough.

The girls had a lot of fun making it and I had zero fun cleaning it up.  Luckily we made the same stuff last year, so we are getting pretty good at making it...not to mention, we already had the $10 bottle of Cream of Tartar that is needed...I mean, who the heck keeps cream of tartar in their house?!

The girls are being super nice to each other, hugging, holding hands, and just getting along in general. I wondered if the Apocolypse was approaching, but then I overheard them say that they were "pretening like they liked each other" {direct quote} so that Bella the Elf would make an appearance in our house. Nothing like an elf and Santa Claus to get kids to behave. {excuse the evil red eyes}

We have a very busy week ahead of us. Monday: basketball practice, Wednesday: softball pitching lessons, Thursday & Friday: Christmas play practice. Saturday night: stuff my fat tail into a cute dress for a wedding. All week: starving myself to prepare for Saturday night. {We'll see how that works out for me....}

Hope you all had a great weekend!
