well this weekend we got a lot done all considering. Nixon is still working until really late 5pm and then working every saturday, so This week Meeka and I put up the christmas tree with all the lights :) I know we are really early but I just couldn't help myself. I absolutely LOVE Christmas and all the lights and everything about it :) I've seen all the ads for Black Friday and plan to go out to for sure Target and maybe Toys R Us if I get around to it, they have a BOGO for princess dresses :) and I plan on getting Meeka a princess dolls and hopefully a princess baby :) then Santa is going to get her a kinect. Nixon and I have been doing our research and they look really cool and there is a disneyland game that is coming out that we want to get for her, so I sold our Wii to my mom for $100 and that is just enough to buy the kinect for her, so we both win :) pretty excited about that!! Nixon got the drain un-clogged and believe me it was YUCK and a mess, is was the bath tub drain, it gets backed up usually about 1 a year, and this time it was plugged up pretty good, but my husband being the handy man that he is saved us $100 !!! So that is AWESOME that is how much it cost us last t ime we called someone out to fix it. so we are slowly becoming more comfortable fixing things around the house ourselves. then he fixed the vent in the bathroom a long with the toilet paper roll handle and then the heating vent in the basement. I felt pretty bad I ripped it out, I was tired of looking at it, it kinda hung down and no heat really ever came out of it, so I tore it down and inside found installation jammed in there, no wonder heat never came out, stupid people who lived before us!! We continue to find stupid things that they did, like a couple weekends ago we put up new curtains in Meeka's room ( with thermal in then for winter) and we noticed that they put the curtain rod on upside down REALLY??? So they were seriously either high or drunk all the time, with their home improvements or just really dumb???
anyway Niko is officially army crawling all over the place, we've had to put up the baby gate for the stairs, because he gets around pretty quick these days, from the bedroom to the kitchen, to the bathroom, to the livingroom, to the stairs. so I also need to watch the christmas tree because he constantly wants to pull it down, and he's strong enough where it would come tumbling down on him. he just doesn't sit still for a second!! He seriously takes all the energy out of me :(
anyway I can't believe thanksgiving is a week away, we're going to have it over here so I have to cook the turkey and the side dishes, I talked to my dad, he came over last Wednesday and he's going to bring the dessert, I'll talk to Jeremy he won't really have to do anything because him and Jaydon are staying over here all week, so it's really no point in having him cook something in my own kitchen he'll just get in the way so we'll see, I've already started the grocery list for that week and it's going to be almost double what we usually spend, good thing Nixon has been working a lot of OT :) so anyway that's a good summary of things so far.
