Working on Christmas.:)

Ok, so I know its Christmas eve eve. But Sandy and I have agreed to do Christmas together for the kids.

So Another busy house with 10 kids. The goal : getting as many pictures as I can, Try not have an asthma attack, and enjoy the holiday season, keep the house still in one piece, and keeping the house as clean as possible, and hope and pray the kids don't kill each other.

I have taken pics so far of 7 of the kids outside playing in the snow. I will have pics up nightly if not every other night till sunday.

We are heading home on Sunday 2 days after Christmas.

I'm wanting Ellie and Leighton to spend equal time this holiday season between their father and I. They seem to be okay with the split time so far. Trying as hard as I might to equal it out.
Christmas is with me in Woodsfield. Then we will see if Rick wants them for New Years Eve and New Years.
We will see.

Jakayla has yet to get a call from el daddy o.
As is he didn't even remember her on her birthday. So she on her own. Didn't even bother to call him. 2 wrongs don't make a right so I made sure I called him on Wednesday. He neither said anything and he even talked to Jakayla for all of a half a minute.
The extent of Hi, Bye and Kiss my Butt.

Well I'm off to knit scarves and teach Jade to knit.
wish me luck.

Thanksgiving '09

Alexa trying to climb up onto the chair.

Proud little girl. She did it all by herself.

The beautiful movie star to be. Alexa Lynn. :)

Alexa and her daddy Terry. She had an earache. But she was such a trooper.

Another photo of Alexa and her daddy. Notice the grin she is giving me. Yeah. This little girl is such a princess and she knows it too.

Alexa. The first smile that I could get of her sharp little chompers :) She has such a beautiful smile.

As you can tell Thanksgiving was at my sisters house. All my kids were with their fathers' for the first time in a long time.

Terry, Steph and Alexa. Had to get in a few family shots.

Lil movie star and her mommy.

Alexa thought she was slick and took my hair tie and she was using it as a bracelet.

This Thanksgiving was a little hard for me. My kids : Ellie and Leighton went to their father's family.
Amazing enough I recieved a phone call from Jakayla's sperm donor. He wanted Jakayla for Thanksgiving. So off she went to southern Ohio to spend it with her fathers family. She came home with tales of her sitting with her grandma and grandpa for the holiday. Nice to know that he wanted his daughter for Thanksgiving. Wonder why she really could care less either way. Actions speak louder than words.

With all that said. Lets bring on Christmas. :)
