i got my christmas cards finished today!

it is tuesday, which means only one work day left this week. hallelujia!

i found $8 by my car door in the parking lot today. that bought dinner at wendy's. yum.

we went to toys r us and looked at toys for little buddy for christmas. he really loves things that vibrate--we found this cute little monster that vibrates when you hit it and says something really cute about a rumbly in his tummy or something but i can't remember. little buddy giggled like crazy when he was holding it--so cute! too bad it was ages 2 and up. but we found a cute vibrating ball in the shape of an animal at wal-mart that is (the giggle and wiggle cow/pig/chicken). so cute. that's a definite gift.

i'm really looking forward to all of the fun stuff during the next couple of weeks!

only one month until christmas!

little buddy learned to climb stairs today.
