I had today off and Fred and I spent some time together getting last minute things done. YEA!
Then once Connor got home from school, we took off for Copper Creek Theaters to see "Avatar", James Cameron's new movie. IT WAS AMAZING! We fooled Connor into thinking we were running errands (which he HATES with a passion) and was throwing a major almost 14 year old brat tantrum (he was even punching the air before getting into the car...LOL) and then even after he realized we were going to the movie, it took him a bit to cool down. All I could do was laugh at him which made him madder, but all is well...he got over it and he apologized for his behavior.
Still wrapping gifts and it's not that I have a buttload to wrap, it's that I'm dragging butt doing it. I still have a few of Connor's and all of Fred's, then I'm done.
Last weekend I finished up a Christmas decor project. I think it turned out nice and even Fred and Connor commented on it.
I used Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding, cut the letters with my Cricut (Alphalicious) and then found the cutest woven bows at Target that matched perfectly for the ends. The rest of the bows in the package went on the tree.
I've made quite a few Christmas presents this year, from photo books, to snack jars, to bookmarks and money banks. Most of the gifts I've altered and re purposed things that have caught my eye and it's been a lot of fun!
This weekend the to-do list is:
1. FINISH wrapping
2. Finalize menu
3. Finalize food shopping list
4. Grocery shopping
5. Bake some goodies
6. Make the lasagna to freeze
I don't have to go ANYWHERE this weekend except to the grocery store and that's exactly how I'm liking it. I don't have to fight any of the last weekend shopping frenzy. YEA!
Have a good weekend everyone!

LOVE the "Believe." You are so good!
I'm behind on my wrapping, too. I've put it off because the boys bug me to open stuff once they see it. I was tired of us looking cheap. So I started wrapping stuff today. It's torture to them. :D
We went and saw Santa tonight. OMG! Wait until you see pictures. They turned out incredible!
Have an awesome weekend.
Thanks for a great laugh this morning (just don't tell Connor it was at his expense)...I just have this mental image of him punching the air, and I giggle again. You tricked him good! Glad the movie was worth it;)
The Believe banner is wonderful! I really need to start and finish the reversible fall/Halloween one I go the instructions for in 2008. I now finally have found all the supplies I needed to do it. When it's finished, I can think about a Christmas season banner too. And I found a pre-made bow that I think will be perfect for that gigantic wreath I purchased last year! We can hang it next year too. hehehehe, a glimpse into my life.
Kris, I really like how your "Believe" banner turned out :). Major giggles about the trick you pulled on Connor. We do that here too, to our kids- both the tricking and the laughing at them :).
Oh, and I'll trade you: I'll wrap if you cook, okay?
