back to xmas shopping....

saw an ad on tv today for Pushing Daisies Season One dvd & Katie's eyes just lit up, so ordered it for her today.

a shopping we will go....

got on amazon.com & found The Critic Complete Series dvd set for me, & season 3 of Home Movies for KJ.
maybe I can find Roman Holidays for Koren---she loved it as a kid, the last time I looked for it I couldn't find it, but could try again...I am on a roll!

X-mas

the date has been set for Katie's Xmas recital---December 6th. They will wear Christmas pajamas.

rec'd an email that KJ's TNA game will ship. (his first xmas gift, since he told me he couldn't wait till xmas to get the Madden game.)
ordered Kevin 2 Chiefs t-shirts & a hat from ESPN sport catalog.
Kate still insists she doesn't want or need anything for Xmas.
Usually I have made & revised my lists & have most of the shopping done by now.
I don't even know what I want for Xmas this year...maybe I've finally outgrown my impulsive outrageous shopping habits...that would be the best Xmas gift Kevin would ever get!

Halloween

is still a ways off, of course, but Katie's costume arrived from Costume Express yesterday, she is a Dark Angel, with her own added touches of skull clips for her shoes, a skull choker, vampire earrings, & a coffin clutch...she tried it all on, & she looked AMAZING! when we do the ghoul makeup & the messy upswept colored hair do....Tyra Banks would pronounce her FIERCE & give her a picture & congratulate her on still being in the running for America's Next Top Model. (I'm addicted to that show...)

my favorite time of year....

is approaching...Halloween! Katie has pondered over costume catalogs, then finally got on-line to find the perfect costume & accessories...she will be a dark angel
with goth makeup, skull choker & shoe clips, vampire earrings, & a coffin wristlet. We'll get red, blue, & black hairspray & give her an upswept messy do.
This is a big decision at our house every year...
Kj was almost always a super hero of some type...Power Rangers, Annakin Skywalker, Batman, Spiderman, Ash Ketchum from Pokemon...with the exception of 6th grade, when he wore a BB jersey & a dread wig with attached hat to be a rapper.
Koren & Katie have both done witches, princesses, Disney heroines, pop stars...
