Blog Printing???

Has anyone printed their blog? I have been looking up ways to do it online but don't know what program to go with. If anyone has done it, or has known anyone who has, please let me know. I looked on blurb.com but I'm not sure that they support blogspot.com blogs.
Thanks for the help!

Santa's real

I was at Costco today picking up a few last minute items I needed. I finish my shopping, check out, start walking out of the store, when I spot something out of the corner of my eye. That's right, folks. At the return desk, was a beautiful, HUGE monster truck. It had JUST been returned and they were tagging it to put back on the shelves. I walked over and asked if there was anything wrong with it and after they tell me "no", out comes the credit card and into my cart goes the monster truck. I felt like I just won the jackpot or something. One more year of believing in Santa.

Mark the Moose

Anyone in the Dance family will appreciate this...Mark the Moose. Thanks to Grandpa Hawkes about 6 years ago! He comes out every year at Christmas time.

let it snow...let it snow...let it snow...

It snowed a TON last night and today! No school!

Christmas is coming...

I am SO behind on my christmas shopping, it's ridiculous. I feel like I'm running around constantly picking up this or that and I just can't seem to get it all done. I need a day to myself to just get everything for stockings, santa gifts, and odds and ends. I'm really not even doing that much, but when your kids TALK to Santa on the phone (thanks to a stupid program at the school) and he tells them that "I think I saw my elves making one of those just the other day", it's either I blow the secret right now or find a STUPID monster truck he's been asking for!

OK so back up a second. A few weeks ago I went to Costco with Cameron and he saw this huge RC monster truck. It's only like $40.00. Then later, he tells me he wants that for Christmas. He wrote santa at school and asked for it. He's been talking all about it. I go to Costco to get it and of course, it's SOLD OUT! I ask them to look it up in all the Costco stores around here and in the SEattle area and Las Vegas (have family grab it and ship it here). Of course, no luck . Sold out everywhere.

So then Cameron mentions it again and I tell him I tried to get it for him but it is gone gone gone everywhere and most likely Santa can't get it either b/c they are all gone. He looks sad, then a huge hopeful smile crosses his face as he says, "Mom, it's okay. I know Santa will just have one of his elves make me one!"
Then, of course, a few days later he "calls" santa and Santa confirms all his thoughts!
Just great for me!

This guy came out and did a free article on our new business and we think he did a fabulous job.
It was actually on the front page of Saturday's business section. Thanks for looking!

Life lately...

I love to host! Over Thanksgiving weekend we had some very fun visitors! Two of Tom's brothers came...Dave (with Channing and kids dallin, annie, and baby davey), and Jeff (with 6 month pregnant wife, Kari). We had a blast with them! It was just a perfect mix of relaxation, entertainment, hanging out, and eating! (Well, a little more eating than normal!)

I broke out the china and goblets for the occasion. (Adults only, of course)
Tom: Why don't we save the china for a different occasion.
Me: Like what? What is more important than Thanksgiving?
Tom: Things like Christmas Eve dinner.
Me: And what else?
Tom: I don't know. Times when there aren't so many kids around.
Me: Like when we are in our 50's?

I mean seriously, is there ever going to be a "perfect" time to use the china? Of course, I forgot to take pictures of the table, food, and people all together. The food was amazing, and we had a fabulous time. We even ended the night with a talent show that everyone participated in! The start of a great tradition.
Braden lost his first tooth, and he felt so cool about it! Now he and Cameron have each lost just one tooth, the same one.
As for me, I've been keeping busy. The honest truth...

1. I like to work. Yes, I do. I've been going up to Tom's office a few times/week to help out. I put Jane down for a nap there while Braden is at school or occasionally drop the kids off at a friends house when it's a busy day there so I can help answer phones, check people in/out, etc. It is SO much easier going to work than being at home. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and I love being a stay-at-home-mom. I love cooking, cleaning, laundry, homework, messes, fighting kids, and utter chaos, but every once in a while, it's nice to get a break and go to work!


2. I love my boys being just 18 months apart, but I REALLY like my baby being 4 years later!
Yes, the truth is, it is wonderful. For all of you who haven't had the experience of having a baby without having a two-year-old "helper", I highly suggest it! We enjoy her so much, and I enjoy doing everything I did with the boys all over again with her. She has 4 adoring fans at home.

Here is a little video clip...

We're looking forward to the holidays! Our first Christmas by ourselves in our own home! It'll be really fun!
