I'm still here!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! My holiday weekend started on Wednesday, I went and saw New Moon with some girls I work with and then Ray and I came home and baked sugar cookies for us to take to Thanksgiving dinner. We spent our Thanksgiving at Alvin's Aunt Linda and Rory's house like we do every year. Its always alot of fun, until Ray decides he wants to cry and I mean unstoppable crying! He did really good for awhile then he just lost it. I'm not trying to make excuses, but I think he was tired and wasn't feeling all that great. We ended up leaving earlier than we wanted. He feel asleep pretty much right after we left. All the food and company was good and I really cant believe it was Ray's 2ND Thanksgiving, that blows my mind. I don't have any pictures from Thanksgiving day but here are some of Ray making cookies...



Friday I took Ray to have his hair cut. He really needed it, it was hanging over his ears and I couldn't stand it any more. I took him to Cookie Cutters again and he didn't do as good as last time, but she got the job done. There are a few spots I'm not that happy with, but I know how hard it is to work on moving/crying children, so its good enough for me.
Then Saturday, I really don't want to get started on it but I will. I was ready to throw in my mommy towel! I love Ray lots but he really pushed my buttons. I should have known with the way the morning was going that swim lessons was going to be a night mere, but I went any way. Needless to say, we left early!!! It started off not to bad, but he saw some bar bell on the side of the pool and he wanted it. I kept telling him "its not ours" but he cryed and cryed so the teacher said he could use it, well he didn't want to use it the way she told him to, so he got mad about that, then I thought "well I will just do my own thing with him" oh no, I couldn't even move him away from my body with out him crying. So I told the teacher we were leaving. I was so embarrassed and wanted to cry. Then of course we usually have the locker room to ourselves, but this time there were 3 other people in there on a day Ray has a melt down! I have not made up my mind if I will go back, it was that bad!! I took him home and put him down for a nap! We both needed that, and I think the terrible 2 thing is really hitting hard!
Alvin got home and finished putting up the outside Christmas lights. Then we went and got our Christmas tree. We got a real one this year. I can never remember my family getting a real one so I wanted to try it. Its up and decorated, I know I need to water it but trimming it I'm not so sure about. So far I'm happy with it.
Checking out his stocking, and sitting on a pampers box...his stocking is a dog and his ears move up and down, its really cute.

In front of the tree...

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...

I am noticing that in all but 1 of these pictures he either has his shirt or pants off, I swear the kid really wears clothes.
Bye for now!!
