But that doesn't mean that we really want to. I'm still not feeling that christmas spirit, although I have started doing cards. Not a ton of them because I can't get too many stamps. But I'm going to send a few out, because why not. Other than that nope. Not feeling this holiday stuff at all.
Heck, I am even so frustrated and irritated about it I almost swore right there. But hey, it's ok. Maybe listening to some holiday music will help. But then again... there's no guarantee of that. Maybe I've grown up to be a Grinch. But how about a sampling of Christmas music from when ~I~ was younger. Maybe that'll help... and maybe some of you miss them too. So why not.
Hanson - Merry Christmas Baby
*NSYNC - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays
Backstreet Boys - It's Christmas Time Again
Spice Girls - Christmas Wrapping

They say you can't truly love someone if you're unable to laugh with them. In a way they're right. But someone else can't really love you, if you can't love yourself. Share your passions. Explore your possibilities. Don't be afraid of losing. Take every day as a gift. Revel in the happiness, joy and love you find. It may not be perfect, it may not last forever.
But who decides how long forever is?
Not You. Not Me.
So live, love, and laugh like it's the last day of forever.
Okay, so this past weekend we went to see the Boulevard Boo! Parade. It was a lot of fun and we got to see a variety of costumes. Unfortunately We didn't catch the whole parade on camera. But we took some photo's and video footage for you all. Just click on the words video footage to be able to view some of the clips that we captured with our camera.^_^
And because I know she sings super fast, am going to post the lyrics here, so you can read them in case you can't keep up with what she says.
Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepy head
Here's your clothes
And your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now
Get up and make your bed
Are you hot?
Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and your gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget you gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast
The experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodon'tist will be seeing you at three today?
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon
So you must play
Don't shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside
Don't play rough
Would you just play fair?
Be polite
Make a friend
Don't forget to share
Work it out
Wait your turn
Never take a dare
Get along
Don't make me come down there
Clean your room
Fold your clothes
Put your stuff away
Make your bed
Do it now
Do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn?
Would you like some hay
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone
Get Off the phone
Don't sit so close
Turn it down
No texting at the table
No more computer time tonight
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me
Makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom
Someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait 'til you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now
I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew
Would appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, Get the door
Don't get smart with me
Get a Grip
Get in here I'll count to 3
Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD
Get a dose of...
I don't care who started it
You're grounded until your 36
Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before that
You're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straight when you walk
A place for everything
And everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Get in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don't forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because
Because
Because
Because
I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so
I'm the Mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
Happy Easter! I hope that your day is bright and cheery. Hope that you're absolutely "hoppy" and that you have a lot of fun.
Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. ~Clarence W. Hall
The
joyful news that He is risen does not change the contemporary world.
Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice. But the fact of Easter
gives us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the discipline, and
make the sacrifice. ~Henry Knox Sherrill
Easter tells us that life is to be interpreted not simply in terms of things but in terms of ideals. ~Charles M. Crowe
I lied on my Weight Watchers list. I put down that I had 3 eggs... but they were Cadbury chocolate eggs. ~Caroline Rhea
