This past weekend the boys and I had a little fun. We went shopping and did the Santa thing! This was the best time to go see Santa! NO WAIT, NONE whatsoever! I couldn't believe it! We walked into the mall (around 5:45pm Sunday - Santa closed at 6pm) and walked right up to Santa, Cameron told him all that he wanted, I had my camera with me and took some pics, and that was it! In and out in 5 minutes! I couldn't get Austin to sit on Santa's lap though. It was hard enough to get him to sit with the big brown bear that was just sitting around the mall looking lonely! Then we found the cool car and you can tell by the look on Austin's face, he was Oh So Excited to be sitting in the little green car!

Austin has another soccer tournament this weekend so that's what we'll be doing. Woo Woo! Then next week, only 2 days of school for all of us then it's off to Hermann! Woo Woo! Long drive but we get to see Uncles, Aunts and cousins, and PawPaw. Gonna get some good use of the dvd player in the van!

Well, a long trip to say goodbye to a lifelong friend. I'm back in Dallas from Arkansas where I attended the funeral of one of my best friends. Bobbie Jo Cothrine Hernandez was obviously very loved based on the massive turnout to her visitation and funeral. She will be missed by all.

On a brighter note, Cameron's last soccer game was cancelled this morning due to the weather (very cold and windy). So, I have a little time to post! But not much to say. I'm ready for the holidays - not ready as in have all my shopping done, just ready to be out of school for a break! This fall is going by fast!

Karen got me involved in facebook this week so I'm now on that as well. One good thing about it is I found a friend from college that is in NY doing voices on cartoons, acting in movies, all kinds of stuff that I knew he would do! He's a very talented artsy person.

I think it's time to go shopping for Christmas gifts, I need to get that done so I won't wait until the last minute!
