Broken Bones, Final Exams and Christmas

We did make those ornaments I just have not had time to post the pictures for them yet. The girls did a great job with them and they were very inventive with them. Thank goodness we had them all made before Kenzie broke her thumb. She did that this last weekend at Grandma's house. She was playing with her cousins while Tony and I were at a Christmas Party and she tripped over a laundry basket and broke her thumb. She is ok. Monday her Dr. took a few more X-rays and put a cast on her. She will need to wear the cast for 2 weeks, so she chose festive red and green colors for the cast. She will go back in 2 weeks and the cast will come off and she will get X-rays again and another cast will go on for the remaining time. The Dr. said it will hopefully be healed in 6 weeks.

I just finished my last Final for the quarter. I am so glad that is over. I hope I did well. With that stress gone I am now down to the line on Christmas shopping these last couple of days to get that finished. Last night when I took Kenzie & Taylor to conformation class I had a hour to relax and shop a little for Alex. She is not so easy to find things for. It is not that she is a picky child she is not at all. It is that she doesn't give me a christmas list like my other children do. She not a girly girl like my other three so it makes it harder for me to find things for her but I think I finally found some things she will like. Now I need to get ready for my 2nd job interview today with a local Hospital. I so hope I get this job I really need it and I think I will really like working there. They also have slipped in another interview for another department for me today as well.

Have a Wonderful Holiday!

Christmas is in 13 more day

OH MY!!!  Christmas is in 13 more days are you ready? I am not.  I have lots of shopping to do I have barely even started.  There is so much to be done and so little time left.

 I have a lot of baking to do.  I promised my nephew I would make him chocolate chip cookies and send them to him for Christmas along with his Christmas gifts.  He lives in Arizona so I have to get this done in the next day or two to make sure they arrive on time.  Also Anthony has been asking for cookies so I will add those in and I need need to make something for my Math class tomorrow morning we are having a pot luck so maybe I will bring cookies for that also.  It looks like I am going to be making a lot of cookies this year.  Two of my girls also have class projects coming up that they need help with one is due on the 14th and one the 19th.  You will never guess what they need to bring to school.  COOKIES.  We  have to make enough for each of their classes.  It was a health class assignment were they had to take a cookie recipe and change the recipe to make it healthier.

Also the girls want to start a craft project tonight that they would like to give as gifts.  It is a handmade Christmas tree ornament made out of a special dough that we fragrance and cut into shapes.  We have made these in the past but this year we are going to try a new shape a dog bone made into a puppy face.  Tonight I will photograph them and post them on here in the next few days so you can see what they look like.  Maybe I will give one of my recipes out with it so you can try to make them yourselves.  It is a great kids project and they have a lot of fun with it.
