You HAVE to See My Cookies!!!!

We celebrated Sinterklaas this past weekend. Ray and I got the boys a little something, and each of them something for each other and for us. Joe and I got Craig a big clunky watch, which he LOVES, Craig got Joe a trucker's cap with Olympics 2010 on it, which he LOVES. And Ray and Joe got me new slippers.

Not just any slippers. Warm, fuzzy slippers with rubber bottoms, so they don't wear out so fast.
We call them my "Cookies" because they are fuzzy and blue like Cookie Monster. Joe wants red ones for his birthday. He's going to call them... his "Elmos".

On the Turn Table Today...

I am no where near dedicated enough to blogging to pull of the Lyric of the Day....

What I'm listening to today:
  1. Disc One of WOW Worship 2010...
  2. Need to Breathe - Heat
  3. Mark Schultz - Come Alive (Yes Tineke! I agree with you about song #3!!)
  4. Disc Two of WOW...
  5. empty....
I can't quite bring myself to listen to Christmas music yet...just not there this year. I've tried and tried....decorated outside and inside, shopped, made some cards.... Nothing yet...

A Funny Thing Happened While I Was at the Arena Last Night....

Joe and Craig had the late game last night at 9:30pm, which is their favourite time slot! Our regular goalie wasn't able to make it so a friend, Cody, who played in net during the previous time slot, stepped in. Half way through the third period, Cody's leg came off. (He has had a prosthetic leg since he was a baby.) The players from the opposite team took a knee, which is what you do when there is an "injured" player on the ice. Joe decided that he would just sit on the ice and wait. The repair took a few minutes and Joe laid back, leaning on one elbow, and eventually....there he was.... making a snow angel at centre ice. Typical Joe.

A point to illustrate how full of thoughts my head is lately.....I proceded to tell Craig this morning about the funny thing that happened at the game. He said, "I know Mom, I was there. Thanks for coming to MY game!" He was smiling at the time.

I have a friend who said, "Wherever you are, BE there!" I'm trying really hard to practise that...
