Christmas already

It has been a long time since I have written, I think the holiday spirit has turned me in to the holiday grouch. We have done a lot since the last time I posted, we went to the beach, DIsneyland, had Thanksgiving and started jr b-ball. I couldn't post Disneyland pictures because James downloaded the pictures and I don't know how to change the format into anything I can use. I have waited to be told what to do and now I give up so I will post the thanksgiving and other things we have done and hopefully get the christmas pictures up before Easter. Thanksgiving went well and the kids classes have been going well. We made turkey chair covers, or should I say I made them but the kids did enjoy sitting on them. Kolbryn's teacher had them make place cards for every member of the family and write what they like about them, Kolbryn woke up extra early and set the table, he put my slurpee mug as my drinking cup because it is my favorite thing, he was so happy to do that for the family, but the family wasn't happy for it because we were trying to play games, clean the table, set the table and he wouldn't let us move things around. He was very happy to get a picture of it. Every year we take a picture of the kids inside the Christmas tree box to see how big they are, well this was our first year they couldn't all fit. Where did the time go? :( Logan is now if 5th grade and they have different teachers for each class kind of like Jr high so I am trying to deal with 5 teachers going on track and off track and my kid going off track and on track, let me tell you how fun it is. James and I are trying to teach logan how to study, that you bring things home from school and reread them, even though he says I already read this and he knows everything. " Mom this is now a days not the olden days when you didn't know anything, we don't have to do things like you did." It is really great being around him. Brittin comes home and tells the latest way of sliding down the icy hills at recess. FIrst I took my coat off and slide down the hill on my coat. I tell her don't do that it will ruin your coat. The next day ," we had so fun at recess today we went down the hill on my knees and we slide really far." My response, you will ruin your pants. The next day what did you do at recess, "nothing" so who knows what really happen if she did nothing or she did something and doesn't want to get yelled at. Kolbryn is still swinging and doing monkey bars. He made a commit that the chocolate milk gang let him play tag, I guess if you don't like chocolate milk you can't play tag but they let him play one day. I'm sure more happen in the last month but I can't remember now.
