Sunday

Well Max is doing pretty well today! His eye is purple and pretty swallon. He can only open it about half way. I think he's going to get a black eye. We also have to clean it...I'm not looking forward to that..because we are going to have to hold him down. But the doctor said if we don't keep it clean obviously it could get infected..but it also gets crusty..like a scab, and when he makes different facial expressions..the scab could rip the stitches out. So we basically can't let it scab.

We were going to go out last night for the fight..but I just couldn't leave my lil man at home. I had a hard time even letting him sleep, I just wanted to hold him the whole time. So going out wasn't even a question. But Mikhail and Makenna went to my parents while I was at the urgent care with Maddox. And my mom called and said Makenna was asking to come home because she was home sick. It's wierd, she NEVER ask to come home...so always ask to STAY. So it kind of made me feel good and I had to go get her :) Mom and I think she was worried about Maddox. Plus I've been spending a lot of one on one time with her lately, and I think she's just wanting to soak it up. So I brought her home and she put her jammies on and we went up to my bed and read a Christmas book and watched a Christmas movie & we both fell asleep together :) It was a perfect night together!

This morning the twins slept in until 820..they are normally up at 6 or 7 at the latest..sooo of course we were running late for Church..but we still made it. We were like 15 minutes late. But when I walked in, they had already started the Word of Mouth classes...so I snuck Makenna in...and she went right in and sat in her chair like a big girl <3 I was so proud of her! Today at Church they talked about forgiveness & how we hold onto things instead of just forgiving. It had really spoke to me, especially because I had came to Church a little mad at Tim this morning. I do realize that I really need to let go of things...sometimes I waste so much energy on being upset, I could just instead be happy. I've been really enjoying going to Church & I've really been taking the messages to heart!.

Today we've got to finish our Christmas cards. I went to Archivers and got more cards...so the kids have to make more handpritns for me :) They really enjoy it! And I've got to find my address book...I have no idea where I put it. I've waited really last minute this year to get my cards out. Normally I dont' wait this long. I had counted on our photocards turning out...and they didn't. So then I decided to have the kids hand make them, which is cuter anyways. but now we don't have a picture for our cards :( I wanted to put our picture we had taken at flash...but they won't be ready until friday...and that will be too late.
