TEN HOLIDAY FAVORITES

1) Movie - The Santa Clause or Home Alone

2) Song - oh gosh, I LOVE Christmas songs. I love "Carol of the Bells" and "Away in a Manger."

3) Snack/Candy - The Christmas goodies Big A makes - almond bark, peanuts, rice krispies, marshmallows. Oh salivating thinking about it.

4) Tradition - food and gifts with family. Driving around to look at Christmas lights.

5) Person to give Gifts - The kids. I never know what to get Big A. I always get him a book; he doesn't read much. Oops

6) Shopping Spot - Anywhere on Black Friday or any time in the hoidays. I love crowds.

7) Drink - Apple cider yum!

8) Toy to play with the little kids - Cars with Tristan but anything they get is fun to open and let them play with

9) Weather - I love snow...to a point. But I love when you wake up and it's snowy but the sun is out and everything sparkles and shines. So beautiful.

10) Memory - My favorite growing up was when we spent Christmas or Eve up at my aunt & uncle's house. Everyone was there. We watched Cool Runnings. We danced to music. Everyone got along at this time. It was just fantastic.

TEN HOLIDAY DISLIKES

Quick, list ten things you dislike about this time of year.

1) Black ice
2) Black Friday meaners
3) Only getting to sing carols this time of the year
4) People who don't understand the reason for the season
5) Not enough time with family
6) Getting so full my tummy hurts so badly
7) Not having more traditions (any ideas?)
8) When I feel I don't get someone the "right" gift (a fitting gift)
9) Having a budget - I just love to figure out what everyone else would love to have
10) We have to wait a whole other year for it again

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
