THE WEEKEND

The weekend has come to an end and already Monday will soon be coming to an end. It is hard to believe that Christmas is only 29 days away....OMG where has the time gone. We have the decorating done, wrapped the gifts last night or at least the ones we have, and the shopping is coming to an end. If only we had some snow it would then feel more like the Christmas season :0)

Even though Matt had to work Saturday night and Sunday we still managed to get some things done around the house, I got quite a bit of cleaning done over the weekend and the new family room is getting ready for the tv on Tuesday (feeling pretty cozy down there) can't wait until it's finished. We got a couple early Christmas gifts over the weekend with the new tv (in our room right now, might stay there lol...flat screen LCD) and Trinity got a nice white electric fireplace for her chilly room, it looks great and she is enjoying the heat!

Not much else going on around here, the kids got their report cards last week and looked pretty good with Jay somehow managing to get all B's (teacher said he was getting really slack and putting forth no effort but in the last couple of weeks she is impressed by his hard work and effort). We will see what next term brings. Trinity pulled off 5 A's and 4 B's and is enjoying her new friends at school. Kohl is said to be the "light" of his class. Everyone just loves him and with some more hard work from him and less talking we can look forward to another great report card in March.

With Christmas coming and all the great foods that come with the holiday season I am planning on (starting today) loosing 5-6 pounds before Christmas. I know it doesn't sound like much to loose but that's how much I've put on since we've moved :0(....and I want to be able to enjoy the yummy cookies and treats without any worries.LOL I think Matt is joining me in the fun :0)

That's all the news from the Sydney Mines Smith Clan...

The kids today after school (Monday)
