yay on only one kid for you! :-)

 

i can even wear shorts without shaving my legs so having a moustache surprised the heck out of me.  at least i don't have dark hair but man, when the light hits from the side you can kind of see a silhouette of hair.  gross!

 

i know how you feel about the gift thing.  did i already say this?  chane's outnumber and outsize braeden's.  i thin ki already said all this but i don't see it lol.  so i'll repeat myself - sorry!  in his pile he has 5 books, 5 shirts, a computer game and a lego set.  in addition to his $$ santa gift (lego chess set) and his hiking set which he didn't ask for and i'm not sure he'll want it.  we probably spent more or at least as much on him but his gifts from us kind of suck.  meemaw bought all the good ones from me.  usually i don't care who their gifts come from as long as they're what i want them to have but with him being so older and extremely perceptive i don't want him to think we shorted him.  since santa's gift is not from us (yes he still totally believes).  ahhh.  so i asked scott if we could get him the at-te (star wars lego) and the medal of honor set i had ordered before but it didn't get sent (something about teh seller's paypal account).  he said sure right away.  chane's stuff is all big and flashy - big matchbox sets and whatnot.  braeden's just look so BORING.  and he's not a boring kid.  it'd be okay if we had gotten him things he asked for but the lego set and the lego chess set are the only things we are giving him from us that were on his list.  so medal of honor and the at-te are on his list and he totally is convinced he won't get the at-te because he thinks it's $139 (it's $90).  i'm not sure where he got $139.

 

so scott is buying at least the at-te now and i'm going to try to find the medal of honor (found it at walmart a month ago but it's since been discontinued because it's for ps2 which i guess is outdated?).

 

i'm making the fudge and i totally screwed up the nougat layer on the first one.  see, it started burning in m y saucepan so i mixed it with the other stuff in a separate bowl which made it cool superfast so it got like taffy.  actually very yummy to just eat but very hard and flat.  so i made the 2nd batch by holding the pan way up high over the stove (fun on my wrists for 5 minutes!) and it turned out completely different so that made me realize how much the first batch got screwed up! it's okay though - the first batch i actualy liked the taste so i'm assuming i'll like the taste of the 2nd one once it cools too.  i didn't really taste that one but i'm pleased with how the first one tasted.  the caramel adn final layer will both be easy.  that 2nd layer was a pain tho!  i can't wait to eat this stuff!

 

gotta look at my list
