Christmas entertainment on Christmas website#Workshop#Workshop

Hopefully this link takes you to a fun little website I found. Just some fun little things for kids and parents, during the Santa season.

I took my two younger kids to the stores tonight, to write their Holiday Wish Lists... how expensive the kids wants are becoming. LOL I enjoy this tradition, that the kids and I started a few years ago. We generally start out at a coffee shop, and get cocoa and coffee. Jarod discovered "vanilla steamers" not too long ago, at starbucks... and he enjoys those now. Just a steamed milk with a shot of vanilla flavoring. The "perk me up" coffee shop by my work, now gives employee discount, to the complex of businesses. Woohoo!! It isn't starbucks, but it beats $4-$5 a cup! :) I get a mocha for $2.60!
Anyhoo... Oh... so Jordan (ds is 12) tells me that a boy on the bus got a referral today. Generally this kid is not the trouble maker, but today told the bus driver he would not sit by this other kid. Well... I question why, and Jordan explains further. "He's a "gay wanna-a-be"" Oh my! I guess it is a joking and all in fun, kinda thing, but now the kids don't want to sit by him. UGH! Why does the world have to treat one-another is such ways. How come my son can't go to school, and be a kid???
On the other hand, he is off to his first school dance tomorrow. It is during school hours, and the kids had to earn the right to go, through good behavior, ontime homework, grades, etc. I so badly want to sneek in and take pics, but I know I have to let him grow up. Do I ask him if he wants my camera?? LOL I can't wait to hear how it goes. I hope he won't be the wall flower, but I fear he will just hang out with the guys.
I don't want to rush him, but yet I want things to be easier for him; then they were for me.

Tomorrow I will finish putting up the light display at the store. I was thrilled to finally get to it this morning. I got to sing along with the Holiday carols, that the display beats to in the lights. What a great time of year!! One customer came through the isle and just said "Oh, what a beautiful time of year, we get to celebrate in lights and decor!" She was so right!
I will be putting up my Christmas tree this week too... and hopefully I will get to the lights outside too... while my turkey thaws inside. LOL
Happy Thanksgiving Prep to all!
