Well I am lovin smoking outside! It's cold enough to be a deterrent to just habitual mindless smoking and I have been able to cut down without thinking much about it. I don't really see the difference in the house, but everyone has told me they don't smell it anyway, so I dunno. Maybe they were just being polite, but even my crazy MIL said she couldn't smell it in our house.
Anyway.......
I got a little Christmas shopping done today. I tricked niecey into picking out her gift. She's sad that it wasn't for her
I just told her I know a little girl that needed a gift that was alot like her, and would she pick out a gift for her. She picked a remote control car
I love that silly kid
I got DH a few pair of work pants, his others are falling apart, and got him a new coffee maker, he broke his carafe a month or so ago, and this one cost less than a new carafe for the other one so I just got it instead of a carafe. I got DD20 and SIL's gifts too care of too. Now I just have a few more kids to get a little something for. I plan on doing alot of baking for the neices and nephews since I didn't really spend much money on them.
DD14 is gonna be sooooooooooo mad at me Christmas day
She picked out all her gifts, but I won't tell her anything about anything. She asked her grandpa for a $150 jacket
He got it for her, but he couldn't find the color she wanted. She asked me about it, and I didn't lie. I told her he couldn't find what she wanted so he got her something else instead....which technically is true
He couldn't find a blue one he thought she'd like, so he got her a different color
She is gonna kill me though, so this may be my last week online
She thinks he got her something to do with Twilight. I dunno what gave her THAT idea...but that's what she thinks and I'm not correcting her.
I have the kids over tonight. Nephew just went home, but the two girls are staying the night. They're in there in the boys room on the top bunk reading. Yep, they are reading. I think they think I'll snitch them out to Santa LOL! We made brownies tonight, and made more homemade garlic bread...DD insisted on that. She ate the leftovers for breakfast this morning!! I liked it, but garlic bread for breakfast?!
Teens
Turns out the doe that got loose, that we were told couldn't have kits, had kits in the shed. She got ate by a dog, and babies were just shy of old enough to fend for themselves 
She had 5. ALL of them were calico! They were beautiful 
I wondered why she was so darn "wild" acting...had no clue it was because she had babies *sigh*
Welcome to the world Carrie Irene and Joshua Elijah!!!!! I got a new cousin on each side of the family today! I just found out about little Carrie
