Well, it's nice to be on the internet again today since I haven't been able to get on since Saturday!! It went down and is still down, but our neighbor is letting me get on hers!! YEAH!!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving though and I hope that everyone else did too!! We enjoyed the day over at Lisa and Gary's place. The day started with watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, Bob wouldn't have it any other way!! We headed off
to Lisa and Gary's house on a commercial break and watched the rest over there. I made pumpkin pancakes for all of us and they were very yummy!! The rest of our friends came over around 2pm and we ate around 3:30!! It was so yummy! everyone brought a dish and we all ended up munching all day. It was a pretty nice day outside, so Bobby and Brooklyn got to play outside a lot, always nice! Amaryllis was wonderful and got passed around, as long as she's getting attention!! Both kids ate very well and Amaryllis snacked on turkey and ham later too!! Lisa made drinks for 
everyone with Parma, a pomogranite liqueur! They were very yummy!!! Later in the day, we played a game called celbrity salad 
bowl, Bob and I were on the same team and did pretty well! Eca and Drew brought over the Wii, which Bobby and Brooklyn had a blast playing together! Later in the evening, the other adults played poker and I sat on the computer looking at ads and planning my Friday morning shopping!!! Then they switched and played dominoes, so I joined in the fun. We ended up not leaving there until almost 2am!!!!!! And both kids were awake!! So I dropped Bob and the kids off at home and went SHOPPING!!!
The outlets near our house opened at midnight for Black Friday!! I talked Eca into going with me... hahaha!! She had never been shopping on black friday!! So we hit the outlet mall at 2am with coffee in hand!! And since we got started late, we headed to Hickory (where all of the stores
are) after we left the outlets!! We made it down there at about 4:30am, and Toys R US was due to open at 5am. They had on the little kids sofa's that I had wanted to get Amaryllis for her birthday and hadn't gotten her yet! Oops! Well, she got it!! and we were out of there by 5:15am and on our way to Best Buy!! In line to check out of Best Buy at about 5:30am!! HA!! It was quite a line, but it moved pretty well and by the time we were out of that store, Target (which is next to it) was just opening!! So into Target we went!! Got stuff there and that line was so CrAZY!!! It basically wrapped around the whole store! It was fine though and moved well, so we were out of their at around 7am! Got some breakfast at McD's and off to WalMart! Got some stuff there and had NO LINES!!!!!!!! Then we went to Big Lots (got nothing there) and another WalMart and back up the mtn by 11am!!! I dropped Eca off and hit the WalMart and Kmart up here before picking the kids up!! Brought the kids home, fed them some lunch and all 3 of us took naps until 5pm!!!! What a fun day!Saturday was the parade in town. The kids and I went while Bob helped man the coffee shop, and boy were they busy!! YEAH! I forgot to bring the camera, but both kids enjoyed watching the parade, and Bobby enjoyed getting the candy! It was cold and rainy, but we walked down to see the tree and then rushed home to get the car and go to the grocery store to get more stuff for the coffee shop!!!
Yesterday we went to church and that's about it, and today is another snow day for the kids! It started out as a 2 hour delay!! It's been snowing on and off all morning! Our new neighbor, Bernie, is over. His mom had called to see if I could take him to school cause of the delay and since it got cancelled, we have Bernie. The boys are being AWESOME right now playing with trains in the bedroom, and the baby is sleeping in the pack and play in my room!!! AAHHHH!! A little peace and quiet for me since the boys were CRAZY this morning!!
