Our So-Called Life.

Today was a great day. Filled with lots of memorable family fun. We went to my parents' house for cut out cookies. A Christmas tradition that I somewhat struggle with now that Cade has joined our family. Some days I feel totally against it and stand strong to the fact that he cannot eat cookies. Other days, like today, I feel like why not? Why can't I adjust his daily caloric intake and let him have a freaking Christmas cookie? He had so much fun and although it is still easy for us...I know things may have to change according to the way he progresses. Until then, so be it. He got one half of a Gingerbread man designed especially by him. Rather lower in fat and sugar and hardly any icing. He was a happy little guy. And Carter, my sweet-a-holic, enjoyed the decorating much more than the eating part. Surprised me! Here is our finished products... Carter and Cade Mommy and Daddy  Cade man hard at work!

Random thoughts are running circles in my head right now. I hate it...Nothing specific comes to mind to blog about tonite. I have been very busy preparing gifts for teachers and kids in Carter's class. They are having their "Happy Birthday Jesus" party tomorrow. Christmas is pretty much my favorite time of year. It is so magical and special. Even though it is not as fun for me anymore, I absolutely love experiencing the magic of Santa through my kids. It is just so sweet.

I think it is a nice tradition we have started. On another note, I have to go meet with someone at our local Social Security office tomorrow. I haven't blogged much about that whole situation...probably because it gets my blood boiling. Lets just say, we don't get crap. It doesn't matter that my son is disabled and has a l...

 Update: Thankfully a wonderful friend found this for me in another state! WooHoo!!! :) The #1 HOTTEST toy this Christmas! How would I know? Oh, because I have been madly obsessed with going to Target every morning just to see if they got some in. Don't worry, I am not the only one there waiting for them to open their doors at 8am. I remember seeing these things on the shelves and thinking about getting the boys one, but went back and forth with the idea. Now, that I can't find any...I want one even more. Sick, right? Haha! Anyways, if any of my online friends happen to come across one of these bad boys please think of me! I will somehow, someway get you the money asap plus some. :)
