Yes, another week has gone by already. Another week closer to Christmas though :0)! Yay!! I am really starting to get into the Christmas groove. No decorations up yet and not even sure who, if anyone except Sydney, will be joining us this year. But that is alright. This evening is Newcastle's Santa Claus Parade - Nicholas and I are really looking forward to it. It seems it has become kind of a tradition now that Andrea and Danaka join us for the parade as well...as they will again this year. If we remain in Newcastle, Nicholas will be able to say that he has been to every parade since they began 4 years ago....kind of neat, I think.
Nicholas has been giving alot of thought to his Wish List for Santa. Quite a task picking out 3 items! But, he has told me that this last list is his last revision (say that fast)! So, as of right now, he is wishing for the Matchbox Space Shuttle Mission (which Santa has already found on sale and is hidden away), the WallE laptop and the remote control WallE.
Shane, well, I think he would be quite happy to just share Santa's plate of cookies!!
My wish is that we could all just be healthy together, even for a day or two!! Nicholas and I were both back to the doctor this past week. It turns out he has quite a high tolerance for pain because Dr Ross could not believe that he doesn't complain about his ears hurting. They are both very swollen in there and very red! Double ear infection that we are now fighting with antibiotics. The only thing Nicholas said to me before we went to the doctor is that his ears were asleep! I noticed he wasn't hearing me properly so that prompted me to get him in.
The boys and I have been fighting this nasty cold for weeks now! Just when I thought we were nearing the end, Shane wakes up yesterday morning with a fever. But even though he was feeling like kaka, he still can always give you a sweet smile and giggles here and there. My sweet boy. He woke again this morning the same way but has since lost the fever. Crossing my fingers and toes that he has past it and we can all bundle up and head to the parade together.
Friday was our 'regular' poker night....and I'm happy to say that my honey won the game!!
Yesterday, while Shane was resting with Daddy...I took off for some errands. And one of those was picking out paint for the kitchen! And I see you....some of you....rolling your eyes....Laura is painting again!! Haha...well, yes, I am determined to get the kitchen painted by Friday when Mom and Dad come for a visit. I really can't bear to look at the blue any longer.....so Split Pea (Benjamin Moore) it is! Doesn't sound so nice, does it? Trust me, it's awesome...I love it!
