I have been busy keeping a fire going to warm the living room while I nurse a sick kid back to health. I have now seen ears drain stuff I did not know exsisted. Let's keep hoping he does not end up admitted to the hospital! On a lighter note.. Dh has made a New Years Resolution to go to the eye Dr in the new year ... does that count? A least he is finally admitting he needs to go!! I have made a New Year Resoltion to lose more weight. I did a great job this past year on that but I really want to lose a little more. Do you think a game of tennis on wii counts as exercise? I know the boxing is harder than the treadmill. What has happened to video games?

Saturday......
I was at Target again today to pick up a prescription. DS has an ear infection. I checked out the Christmas clearance again but nothing I wanted at just 50% off. a few things I would maybe want at 75% off but I would really want them at 90% off. 75% should be sometime around New Year's day.

The day after the day after Christmas.......
Did you get to any after Christmas sales? I did not get out in the morning because I had to work but I did get to Target later in the day. I found a few gift sets to save for next year. I will probably go back when the stuff goes 75% off to get some wrapping paper. I also got to Children's Place to return these boots The Children's Place: Clothing for Kids - Product: fur-trimmed buckle boots that someone got for DD and she did not like them (they do not have a computer so I am safe saying this here!) They had great sales there too so she got a pair of sneakers, a turtle neck sweater and 4 [airs of socks for the same price of the 1 pair of boots.

Thursday..
Last night I made 3 more batches of cookies. The above cookies were made in a Wilton mold similar to this one... Wilton Cookie Maker English Tea Classic Cookie Mold. I was very nervous about using it since it was my first time. I used the recipe on the tray wrapper and they turned out great!! DH and the kids had a blast decorating them!!
Just one more thing I would like to have!!! Without power for 2 days I felt like I was living The Long Winter. There were a few differences though.. we had enough food and fire wood and the buckets of water did not have ice on them yet. This is a great winter read.. you are never too old to enjoy these books!!
Here are my peanut butter cookies that I made from a recipe my mom used when I was growing up. This was the first year I made the chocolate cookies. I thought they looked so cool on this blog... Party Of Seven: Cookie Recipe: Chocolate Crinkles so I had to try them DH says they are fantastic!
If you noticed my cookies are all the same size, it is because I have one of these... OXO Good Grips Cookie Scoop - PARENT to scoop them out. It saves times and is less of a mess. I love it! I also mix my batter in this... KitchenAid? Professional 600 6-Quart Mixer. Mine is black. I got it as a Christmas gift 2 years ago. It works great for cookie batter!!

Thursday.....
The kids are home from school because we are having an ice storm. They are driving me nuts! I find looking at this tree very calming instead of turning to alcohol for some support. My tree is full of Santa's that I have been collecting for many years and have displayed on this tree. We have a second tree in the reck room with all the other ornament including all the ones the kids have made over the years.
I am afraid we will lose power so I have a nice fire going in the fireplace. It also saves lots of money on the hear bill. Ice storms aren't all bad... they create future firewood and are very pretty... if you can look at the beaty from the comfort and safety from your own home.
These blocks did keep the kids busy for 20 minutes. Now they are fighting again! I think teachers should send home extra homework on early dismissal days. Parents like me would appreciate it!!

Teacher Gifts......
This is a tough one for family's ever holiday season. I am not a fan of cute little teacher gifts. I think teachers get so many things they can not use and parents give those things out of feeling they need to give something. It is a waste of money for the family. My favorite thing to give is gift cards. They come in every dollar amount so you can always find one you can afford. Who couldn't use a gas card these days but who need one more ornament or some home made cookies that will most likely get throw away. If you want to let your kids make something for the teacher here are a few sites with ideas.

Reindeer Food.....
We have a Christmas party every year for friends and family. I like to have something little to hand out to all the kids. I have decided on making a tradition out of handing out Reindeer food each year. The kids can help make it and I think all the kids enjoy leaving it out in their front yard for the reindeer on Christmas eve. The recipe includes...... oatmeal, sugar and colored sugar crystals. We mix it in a big bowl and scoop it into snack size baggies and attatch cute little sayings to it. We leave them in a basket by the front door for everyone to grab on their way out. Frugal and fun! What a combo!!
Here are some more frugal ideas..... Christmas Holiday Printables & Crafts.

Product Review..........................
While I was away a product review came in the mail. I was very happy to try this flameless candle from Glade and my husband was even happier since he thinks my candles make the ceiling dirty! Here are the pics...
and you can get the refills here... Glade Wisp Flameless Candle Refill,FRENCH VANILLA [TWO PACK]
It has great packaging. The plastic comes apart with just apart with just a tug instead of a chainsaw like most of these plastic packages need. I was impressed right off the bat because it comes with batteries already installed. I sat in on my countertop last night while we had dinner to see what the comments were. Everyone loved the vanilla fragrance and the kids loved how it left a little put of "smoke" from time to time. My husband thinks this is the answer to his candle worries... no more worries about forgetting to blow them out or the dirt from burning candles. My first thought was that is would be great for a guest bathroom. I would not have to worry about kids touching the flame! I also thought it would have been great for my mother when she lived alone but we no longer considered it safe for her to burn a candle. This would be great added to any grandmothers Christmas gift this holiday season!! I would buy this again but only with a coupon. Good thing there are always Glade coupons to be found!

Monday Morning........
OK.... we have lots of time to make up for. I will be posting alot in the next few days. I missed Cyber Monday too!! I hope all of you found some great deals. I would like to say one thing about all the toy recalls. If you can... BUY AMERICAN MADE this holiday season. Nothing will stop the foreign trade with China and their lead paint faster than consummers not buying the crap!!! Do a little research and buy toys only made in America. I know it is hard but there are some good ones out there. Even if everyone would say NO to one toy made in China, they would feel the impact. Think about it.
