Well, Friday night while I was at an Arbonne party, Brett's ear started hurting:( I gave him some Tylenol and Jason put some sweet oil in his ear. He woke up in the middle of the night, crying, because it hurt again, so we gave him more Tylenol & sweet oil. He didn't get too much sleep:( He woke up yesterday morning with ear pain so I took him to the doctor since I was pretty sure he had an infection which he did:(
The good news is that he's feeling MUCH better today:) He's only got 3 more days of antibiotics:) He only has to take them once a day:) He should be all set for school tomorrow:)
Lexie's thumb is swollen - it looks like it's infected on the side like she has an in-grown nail:( Well, we've been keeping after it with peroxide and ointment so I'm hoping that will get better in the next day or 2 or she will have to go in, too:(
On a good note, Lexie got her report card Friday & she's got all A's with an A- in PE:) and all her social/emotional grades are 1s which are the best:) She's doing very well & she loves school:) I'm still waiting for Brett's report card.
Hopefully we will have our taxes done this week, but it's not looking too good for us:( Might have to pay in this year:(
Well, I gotta go see if Jason is going to make dinner or if I gotta do it - we're having breakfast since Jason hasn't gotten to have any this weekend:( Maybe he shouldn't have gone to camp yesterday since I made breakfast for the kids and myself:) Today, after church, we had a celebration for one of our member's 97th birthday:) Happy Birthday, Ed!!

Another note
I forgot to tell you - Lexie has a boyfriend!!! His name is Sean (not sure how he spells it tho). She really likes him! She came home on Friday the 14th & told me that it was her & Sean's one month anniversary!! LOL! I think it's totally cute:) She was so excited:) Don't worry - my nephew, Taylor, watches out for her at school:) He's actually quite protective of her:) The other day she came home all excited because her bff necklace (Ashley has the other half) is a mood necklace & it was brown all day which Ashley told her meant "Love". She's so funny!!

Christmas on my side:)
Sorry, I almost forgot to tell you that we finally got to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family:) We were waiting for my sister, Casey, to come home:) She lives in Wisconsin and only has her 2 older boys every other weekend and holidays are kinda screwed up:( It was nice to see everyone:) The kids got some more presents and they love spending time with their cousins:) Plus, we had birthday cake:) My dad turned 50 on Thursday and my mom will be 50 on Feb 1st:) And Casey turned 29 on the 4th, David turns 3 tomorrow and Logan will be 8 on Friday:) Lots of birthdays in January:) I must say that the 2 youngest had a great time!! They love to open presents;) My nephews, David & Ethan, will be 3 this year:) David wanted to open everything - whether it belonged to him or not:) lol!! I got Ethan some small emergency vehicles (police SUV & helicopter & a fire engine which make noise). When he opened the fire truck, he said, "Cool fire truck." I count that as a good choice:) They are so funny when they are little like that:) I wish I could see them more often:(
Of course, I'm not quite finished with Christmas - I haven't seen my grandma yet to give her present to her yet:( and I still have gifts for my 4 nieces which I haven't seen in a while.
So Valentine's Day is next and that means it's almost time for our annual trip to Green Bay for Disney on Ice:) Lexie still wants to go to the ice show, so we will. Brett is going with daddy and grandpa to sporting goods stores and Fleet Farm:) I'm debating whether to add friends. I know they are getting older and it's funner if your friends go, too. Maybe I'll keep this as a family weekend and go some other time (when the weather is nicer) for the night with friends:)

End of 1st Semester
Pretty good couple of weeks except for Brett missing several days of school:( He was having stomach problems so finally I tried cranberry juice in case he was getting a bladder infection or something and he's been good since except last Monday when he had the flu:( He missed 6 days of school and 3 half-days this marking period:(
The kids are both at Hunter Safety class. It's Saturday & Sunday from 10-3. Yeah, it's kind of a long day, but they both wanted to be in it:) Lexie took a notebook & pencil and she took notes;) She's funny! They stayed at grandma's last night as we went out with friends and I guess Lexie studied quite a bit last night:) That's my girl;)
I was on PowerSchool this morning and got their grades - semester ended Thursday. I'm not positive these grades are final, but they should be pretty close:) Brett had a hard time the first marking period, but he did much better this one;)
Brett: Math B+, Language Arts A, Social Studies B-, Reading B, Spelling B, PE A-, Technology A, & Art A. I am very proud of him for doing such a great job:)
Alexia: Math A, Social Studies A, Science A, Reading A, Spelling A, and PE A-. That's right, my baby girl has straight As:) Awesome job, Lex!! She had all As last marking period, too, except for a B in math (she brought it up 8%!!)
That's all I've got for now - sorry, I'm getting a headache:(

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2011
Oh, my, but time flies!! I'm so glad it's over!! Don't get me wrong - I LOVE Christmas, but it just gets so hectic that it's really nice when it's back to normal:) Tomorrow, the kids are back to school and I'm off work, so I'm hoping to get some things done. I am not feeling well yet, so we'll see if I get anything done. Oh, well - C' est la vie:)
Anyway, our holidays were wonderful:) I guess they're not quite done yet as we haven't celebrated with most of my side of the family yet, but it was still good:) On Christmas Eve, I had to work until 5:45, so when I got done, I met Jason and the kids at his grandma's. They were all waiting for me - the kids were told they couldn't open presents until I got there, so they were watching for me:) I definitely felt the love:) Anyway, all the boys got remote controlled trucks from Uncle Cook & Aunt Karen so they were racing around the house:) Lexie got a gift card for Claire's which we had a ball spending on the clearance rack on Tuesday:) They also got some fleece pj pants which they couldn't wait to put on (Lexie had to be told she couldn't wear them to Christmas Mass).
On Christmas morning, Lexie woke us up at 7:50 a.m. to tell us Santa had been here:) (We are lucky as my siblings & I always tried to get our parents up at 5 or 6 a.m. - they always made us wait until 7). Opening presents didn't take too long as their stack wasn't quite as big this year on account of their new DSi XLs(thanks to Kmart layaway!) which were the hit of the day:) Those were from Jason & I so we made them wait to open them:) Brett gave me a big hug and told me I was the best mom in the world and Lexie said she was the happiest girl on earth:) It made it all worth it:)
Next we headed to Grandma Wanda's where we opened more presents and then to Auntie Sallie's for breakfast and more presents. Then we went home for a little while to let the kids enjoy their toys and rest before heading back to Wanda's for dinner. Jason took a little nap:) Brett hit the jackpot with Legos:)
On Sunday, I had to work until 5:30, so we didn't do much. On Monday, the kids and I headed to Rapid River to my mom & dad's for our Christmas.
We still need to exchange gifts with my siblings' children sometime this month, depending when my nephews are home. I can't wait to see them:) I wanted to head there one day this past week and suprise them, but I've been sick since Tuesday:(
Oh, Brett & Lexie both got small MP3 players so I get to listen to their fabulous singing:) Lexie is singing right now:)
For New Year's Eve, we were going to our friends', Chrysta & Phil's, but they ended up with the flu, so we ended up having Charlie, Theresa, and Morgan over to our house:) We watched Vampires Suck which was pretty dumb:(
Alright, I think you are all caught up:) Oh, except that from my in-laws and my parents, I got $$ for a kitchen table:) I spent about 3 hours online Tuesday (dial-up), but I finally got one ordered:) It will be in between Tuesday & Thursday:) I can't wait!!!Thanks a bunch, guys:)
Ok, I really hope your holidays were fabulous and your New Year is the best ever!!! Peace!!!
