Gingerbread houses and good weekend

I did not realize when I started the gingerbread house tonight that it would be an ORDEAL. I guess it should have crossed my mind that we were going to have to WAIT for the sides to dry a little and the roof to dry and I keep hearing the little voice next to me, "is it dry now?"...lol. I hope it will turn out okay and stay together at least long enough to be photographed. I am not creative in the least but I do try, and that should count, right?

We had a good weekend. A took T and J to six flags and they went sledding. T loved it, wanted to go again but apparently the line was rather long. T then spent the night with J and A and my folks and F and I were able to have a quiet night home together, it doesn't happen very often. T had a great time, he loves spending time with A and J and with my parents. And its nice for him to be with someone who loves him as much as I do, A surely loves him as much as me. I don't ever worry when he is with her, I know he is loved and cared for. I do appreciate the relationship we have forged for the love of T, and it makes me happy to know he is so loved.

A, J, T, my mom and I went shopping on Sunday. T needed some new pants and warm jammies. It was fun for us all to get out together. T and J have such a great time together, despite the 7/8 year age difference. J is so nice to his little brother. And T just idolizes his big brother. We were able to get T jeans and jammies, he loves his new Christmas jammies and immediately put them on when we got home, at almost 8 pm. We are excited about Christmas coming up and I need to think of some things to do over the next few weekends to make them special. I think we will go to sea world and maybe 6 flags too, F and I need to go see all the lights and have a little fun, so we will likely take T and have some family time. We also have a few birthdays coming up, my neice D is turning 7 and T's best friend is turning 5.

So much to do before Christmas, I am sure I will wrapping presents right up to the time we are ready to open them...lol.
