Gary had a great time in school last week. He really was excited about Thanksgiving- The Big Turkey Day. Then he was excited because now it is Merry Christmas Time. So I have told him that it is baby Merry Christmas time. That baby Jesus is still in Mary's tummy and on Christmas day is when we celerbrate Jesus's birtday and Jesus will be here. But we get to watch Christmas time grow. We watch as one by one houses put up lights and we put Christmas trees. How little by little we all get the presents to celerbrate the Big Birthday Party for Jesus. I told how there will by many small parties getting ready for the big Chirstmas Day. He like that idea. He has been having fun watching Christmas time grow. We went outside last night and Gary was all excited because there were more house with Christmas lights. Christmas is growing.
Nick had a great time cooking for Thanksgiving. We had our usally group of people. I have been feeling a little sick, head cold. But we all had a great holiday. Then had to put out the lights got another blow up decoration for our excited boy. He really is excited about Christmas. He instited we put up the tree last night for Merry Christmas time is here and we had to put it in the front window because that's where our neighbors tress are. So cute. Gary is just glowing with the excitement of Christmas. Makes me happy.
The only down side is I gave my cold crap to everyone here at our home. Nick is sleeping now. I took Gary and I to Uregent Care to make sure it was just a virius. And yep - Gary looked fine. I was not looking as great said I was too dehydrated along with the virual symptoms. So I have my big jug of water to drink. Gary is happy playing DS . Nick is resting and I am getting ready to drink it up. Cheers everyone.

Monday Night
Gary and I are down in the basement playing on the computer. Gary is playing Jimmy Neutron and I and web surfing while watching the football game. Tomorrow is Gary's last day of school before Thanksgiving and my last day of work before Thanksgiving. I could get use to two day work weeks.
We went to Gary's parent teacher conference last week. Gary is doing good at school. He is at grade level (or IEP level) for all of his classes. He gets along well with the other kids and is getting good at following directions (although he sometimes needs help to keep from zoning out).
His teacher told us a funny story about Gary. She said she was collecting reading logs for the other students and then giving each child a piece of candy when they turned in there reading log. Gary did not have his reading log with him. He went to the his teacher and said, "here is my invisible reading log". His teacher then said, "here is your invisible candy". Gary then followed with, "I don't want invisible candy".
I've got the turkey thawing in the refrigerator. Wednesday I will get the produce I need for cooking Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday.

Bunkbed has arrived
Yea! Gary's big boy bed is here. The bunkbed is put up and I am just waiting on some sheets& blankets to finish washing than it will be readdy for my boy. I have been decluttering and rearrange for days now. Ready for a min break. My next big home project is to clean sweet the loft and make it into my own art studio. But for today just enjoying Gary having a real bedroom.
Gary had a great day at school yesterday. The school is still working on Family and the teacher said Gary kept insiting that he had brothers and sisters. I sent a note to school today explaining that Briana from across the street calls Gary her little brother. Also we have Karen and Lynn as God parents and call Denise and James Gary's God brother and sister. But I thought it was cute. They will have a fun family program sometime this week on Friday. Gary has been praticing and painting. He also had a lot of fun riding Yoda the horse. She is called princess by everyone else but Gary calls her Yoda. So I was calling her Princess Yoda. He did such a great job and is sitting so straight and tall on the horse. I am really happy. Hope he has a good day today.
bye for now.

Operation Clean Sweep
Yesterday we bought Gary a big boy bed! Yea! and of course he picked out the coolest bunk bed. There are stairs that take you to the top bunk and the stairs are also storage spaces. So Wensday is the big day for our family. Hence operation clean sweep.
Today I cleaned out his old toddler bed and will donate it to the ARC. Then picked up toys organized books and cleaned off the changing table which I may use as a TV stand for Gary. Then I tried to pick up and organize in Gary's play room. That is where we will put the mattress he has been sleeping in on and off. So he has something to jump on. Gary has actually been sleeping in the guest room on the day bed wich is too small for him. The new bed has a double on the bottom and Twin on top. I am so excited and so is Gary. It will be so nice to have a room for him again. His room got a little over run with this and thats. Then he will be across the hall from his play room. Should work out well.
Other than that we are all well and doing great. Gary is having good days at school. They are working on Family days. Time to take our big boy off to bath time. Now comes the fun. He must stop, walk away from the computer and jump into a bath tub. Commence mission Bath Time. Wish me luck.
Love to All and to all a good night.

Saturday Night
It's Saturday night and Jennifer and Gary just went to bed a few minutes ago.
What a difference a week is for Colorado weather. Last Saturday we just finished with three days of snow and had 24.5 inches of snow on the ground. Yesterday it got up to 75 degrees and today it was 72 degrees. Almost all of the snow in the neighborhood has melted.
Gary had a good four days at school. Friday was a teacher workday. I got off work early and we all went to lunch (Jennifer and Gary had Panda Express and I had Chipolte). After lunch we went to Game Stop to get a car charger for Gary's DS. We got the charger but Gary had a meltdown because he couldn't get a new game. We got him calmed down and home.
Once we were at home he decided he wanted to walk back to the store. I got him distracted and we just went for a nice long walk. We probably walked over a mile which really helped calm him down completely and also tired him out.
The rest of the day and all day Saturday he did really well.
Tomorrow we are going to the Rodger's for lunch.
