The Hurrieder I Go, The Behinder I Get!

I have been so busy getting ready for Christmas that I have hardly had time for anything else. That includes the internet. However, the last day of school for the year was today and the kids are home now and I do not have to drive carpool anymore! Cause for celebration! Don't get me wrong...I absolutely love the Munchkins school and it is totally worth it to do all the driving to and from. It does mean that I spend at least one hour in the car Monday through Thursday. Some days even more. Now that they are home for a couple of weeks I can spend that time doing something else, like blogging!
I have taken 138 pictures over the last three weeks that I kept thinking I would post. I never did and now they are stored up on my camera busting to get out. I shall set a few of them free now so that you can see some of what we have been doing.

The Munchkins saw Santa and Mrs. Claus...
...as did Grandma and Grandpa. Do you think they will get their Christmas wish?
My Hero and Little Miss picked out a beautiful/Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
My Boy launched his rockets for his Astronomy class project. (With the help of Uncle's Aaron and Eben. Thank you!)
What Fun! They actually went up really high, too.
We all got a little messy with my Beehive's, hand dipping chocolates, Grandma Great style.
The Munchkins and I rode the train...(whilst My Hero was working hard late into the night.)
...to Temple Square to see the lights.My Boy is not in this picture because he was off with friends. Typical teenager.

Most recently, I sent My Munchkins out to build themselves a shelter from the storm for when Mom gets sick of them over this two week vacation from school!
Ohhh! But, who could get sick of these faces!
