Mike's graduation date got moved up. He is now graduating this upcoming thursday! And we will be living in Greenville TX. January 1st (or some time around then) we're going to take a trip to TX and look for housing...cause he starts his new job on Jan 19th. As far as I know I don't think anyone will be coming to his graduation. I think he's a little disappointed that he found out so late. If we would have known sooner, we probably could have gotten at least Danny & Cheryl to come. He won't show that he's disappointed but I think he is. Mostly I think he really wants his dad to be there. But, if any of his brothers could come up that would be nice too. The only thing is, Graduation is in the Morning, and then at 2:45 he has to go to work. So we'll do the ceremony and then he has to leave. So he "knows" no one wants to come for 45 min just for a "silly" ceremony and then not even get to hang out afterwards.
I'm really proud of Mike, and I think he's proud of himself too. I just wish more people could come to his graduation. I think it's at like 10 or 11 on thursday....if anyone wants to know.
There comes a time in a girls life when she crys at the silliest, smallest things. That time usually comes when they're a teenager...then after that it comes about once a month. Hurray for being a girl. :S Well this lovely week tends to make me sentimental to the extreme. I was watchin robots with my boys, and at the end of the show when the dad is telling him how proud he is, and the son tells the dad that the best thing that he ever got from his dad was that he believed in him. yeah....I started crying. Not like full blown bawling...but I did get teary eyed. eh...whatever...it was sweet. I love movies with good family values. If you haven't seen Robots, you should. It's AWESOME.
Have I mentioned I LOVE Aldi? I LOVE ALDI! For anyone who shops there, you know what I mean when I talk about their "random" isle. You know, the one that has anything in it from pots and pans, to little kid clothes, to bathroom rugs, to desks, to computers. They've got EVERYTHING. Well this week one of their special purchases was this little Nativity set. And I got it! I was saving up for a movie...but I don't have very many Nativity sets...actually I have one. The puzzle set my mom made me....well cut out for me, she made me paint it. So when I saw how cute this set was I HAD to get it. And it isn't ceramic, so it shouldn't break if my kids get a hold of it. I love Christmas time!
Wellp...we did it. Mike is going to graduate mid December....and then we'll be headed off to TX. He hasn't told them he's accepted their job offer yet (thats why it's unofficial), but we've decided (thats why it's official). Greenville TX it is. He'll be working for L3 communications fixing/updating jets. I don't know much, but he'll be working for the government I think. So me not knowing much is probably going to be the standard. :D Just so long as he doesn't get sucked into a jet engine I don't mind....And if he does...shudder...pray it's like this man.
So besides the fact that I'm totally scared out of my mind for him....I had no idea that could actually happen....I think we'll be ok. I haven't lived that far away from home before. Missouri is all I know...I hope Greenville is beautiful. I'm really sad to be leaving all of my friends so soon. I'm going to miss all of you! I hope wherever the roads take you is beautiful as well. If all goes according to plan, we'll be moved by mid January.
We'll be spending Christmas with my family south of here, but that is only for a few days. At least we'll get to see most of our friends before we move. Texas, I hope you're ready for the Compton family, cause ready or not....HERE WE COME!
Today Mikey and Xander were playing the piano and singing twinkle twinkle little star. And they did it without any help. It was SSOO cute. They'd bang a few notes out as they sang.
Twinkle widol star, How I you are Up so high diamond in sky Twinkle widol star How i you are.
Or there is Xander's version...
Tween-el yidol star Diamon sky how i you are.
haha they're so funny. Oh yeah And for the first time today I heard Mikey sing his ENTIRE alphabet. And he didn't make ANY mistakes!!! It was AWESOME! My boys are so clever.
So I'm getting totally excited for next week. Julia (my cousin who lives close) and I are going to go to my hometown and watch their high school performance. I'm so pumped about it. I get to go see my old Drama teacher, choreographer, and piano player. All the people I used to know from when I was in plays in High School. Not to mention I haven't seen anything live for a long time....uh...when I say anything...I don't mean ANYTHING. I mean come on. I'm alive...my kids are alive...Even the grass outside is alive. Don't think I live in a city of the undead or anything. What I meant was, I haven't seen any live THEATER for a long time. Shesh crazys.
I know I've got some stuff to bring down with me. The boys...for one. Cause they can't very well stay home. I mean daddy's in the same city...but the would need a sitter, so I have to bring them. And I'll have to bring their carseats. Hum...I also need to bring some stuff for Sarah. I have some diapers and other baby stuff for you. If I don't get to see you on the 20th or the 21 then I'll just leave it with mom. OH yeah...and I was doing the little boys laundry, and they had a pair of jeans that looked WAY to girly for them. I'm guessing they're Lydia's. I need to bring Some clothes that I promised Nanc...and you asked me to bring the Newsies book as well? Then I need to return mom's movie...and I think that was pretty much it. Let me know if anyone can think of anything else I need to bring next week. I'm so excited to see everyone. And I'm pretty excited to be driving with Julia too. I CAN"T WAIT!
I love my Boys, they're so cute. Mikey came up to me today and had his blanket wraped around his shoulder and said, "I'm a Princess!" haha uh...no you're not. So I told him he was either a prince or a king. Then him and Xander started walking around the house yelling, "KING KING KING!" But the only problem was they couldn't hold on to their blankets. And every time they'd fall the boys would freak out, "Mom! HELP! help!" So we decided to tie them around their necks so they could run around the house. Boy did they love that. Then since they had capes, they needed king hats. I wasn't quite sure what to do, cause it needed to be quick so they wouldn't get impatient. So I came up with rolled paper bags. It was adorable the first time they both got their hats. Xander was a little hesitant, but when he saw how much fun Mikey was having, he warmed up to the idea pretty quick. They're still wearing their capes. Mikey keeps saying, "A King Michael!" And Xander keeps saying, "Keen Sander!" And all the while king Gavin is sleeping in his crib sucking his thumb. I really do have the cutest little boys on earth.
yep he's a smiley boy! Can you guess which one was done last? Yeah...the one with barf on his shirt. but he was making such a cute face I had to post it. Silly baby.
