Christmas shopping..

So, it seems every year I freak out as to how much the kids are going to get, and that in the end, they get way too much and I freak out about THAT. Either way, I'm freaked.
I don't believe I am finished shopping just yet, and I have to count the number for each kid and it has to be similar.. Like if I have 30 gifts for Ben and only 15 for Saria.. that's really noticeable so I will go and get Saria a few more things. I remember one year being soooo pissed off at my parents because I asked for a walkman (haha see how long ago it was) for Christmas and my sister (oh the nerve) opened one up and THAT WAS WHAT I WANTED, how dare you, so I don't wanna hear them whining all day about she/he got to open more than I did. Its also just more fair ;) I'll have to snag a few sister in laws for the day to help me finish this job because I still have to get Brad something and he just hates shopping anyway..
So anyway, it snowed here a few days ago. I didn't take the kids out in it because 1) it wasn't enough to build a snowman with, or much else for that matter, and 2) as usual, Saria is sick... But the kids were really excited about it, and I let Samuel go outside and grab a little snowball and play with it for a few minutes (sharing it with Ben)
Saria stayed home from school yesterday because she had no voice and she was coughing all over the place. She was really really disappointed at having to stay home but all day Sunday we told her to settle down and stop talking or she'd lose her voice and be coughing, but she didn't listen to us OF COURSE so she paid the price.
Anyway, she did manage to get to school this morning, so I hope she does alright. I have a few more presents to wrap...and nothing else to report!! I really need to get a new memory card/charge my batteries so I can take pictures. I'll put that on my to do list...
OH I am also making a little list of goodies I'm going to start making for the Christmas Eve family get together. ;) I have my favorite treats on there. Pigeon Poop, Puppy Chow, Peanut Butter Balls, and COOKIES of some sort.. (No baked? I'm sure Hila would like that ;0)
