Today I went Christmas shopping! I think I'm just about finished except for the boys. Johnny and I are going to try to go sometime together, but not sure if that's going to work out or not. He kept the boys this morning while I went out. He took them to get haircuts and then to the mall to play and eat lunch. Corban's hair is a little too short for my taste and Caden's could have used a little more taken off. Oh well. Now I have to wrap all the the presents and figure out how to get them to KY, and Thursday morning I've got MOPS. I'm looking forward to it, but it's a brunch so we're all taking food, plus the gifts for the MOPS workers, plus the kids. It's hard to get in the door with all of that sometimes! Saturday Johnny is going hunting ALL DAY again.

The other day Corban told me that Jesus was his best friend, makes me feel like I'm doing something right. They've both kind of been handfuls lately. I try to keep telling myself that Corban is only 2 1/2, but that doesn't help my attitude with him sometimes! Caden is generally such a sweetie, but he definitely has a stubborn streak - wonder where he gets that? (ha ha). Yesterday we had Luke, Nadine, Diana, and Joshua over. Caden called Luke "Mama" three times, and he never calls me that - he calls me "Daddy!" Corban was so excited to get to hold Joshua and is always very careful with him. Having my two and then a little one in the house makes me realize we definitely need to wait a while before we have #3 - I don't think I could be alone right now with the two I've got and an infant! And going out would be out of the question too!
