ok, so today i'm playing catch up....i told u i'd post tree trimming pics yesterday, but got side-tracked with the oncologist meeting
the kiddos & i did end up decorating the tree monday night - minus the star & some plain jane christmas bulbs that are in the missing box (pretty sure it's in our storage unit)....but honestly, i think the tree looks better without the bulbs - just covered in our kiddos' handmade ornaments! i do wish we had the star - but i might just have 2 get crafty & make 1 for the time being
the kiddos were soooo proud of themselves! mama didn't help put any of the ornaments on the tree - they did it all themselves!
with their "baby's 1st christmas" ornaments that nana got for them when they were born...these r the ones they want 2 put on the tree 1st - every year! ;0)
jaden had the job of putting his ornaments as high as possible - to fill in the top
and gabby wanted to do the same
corinn actually concentrated her efforts on the bottom ;0)
so proud!

we've been losing a lot of teeth in the skates house!
gabby lost her 2 fronts right around her birthday/thanksgiving....and on friday, jaden lost one of his side/molar teeth - and then he lost the one on the other side, monday at school!
let's just say - after 4 teeth, in 2 weeks - the tooth fairy needs a break!
~lol~

yesterday evening, my sister calls me as i'm headed to pick up the kiddos....she prefaces our conversation with "mom, misty (my BFF) & i have been talking about something...and we wanted to run this by u first"
i said "uh oh!"
~teehee~
all 3 ladies were wanting/willing to cut their hair short & send it off to have a wig made for me! they'd done the research & found a place that will take 3 or 4 heads of hair & can process it to make one custom wig! how cool is that?!
but as they suspected, i'm not really the wig type
and it's really expensive!
i told them that i'm so honored that they'd b willing 2 do that for me - and that it's a super sweet thought! but that i'm planning on rocking a fly scarf, or a cool hat & will b just fine! i don't want to worry with an itchy/unnatural wig....just not my style
i told my sis that if they wanted to donate their hair to Locks of Love or something like that in my honor, that was cool - but to please keep their hair & money ;0) their love & support is all i need!

You know what would be really cool, you know at Plains on the last day of school each year they do the Locks of Love Assembly. Maybe a bunch of people could do it then in your honor. Mrs. Shearer at school is in charge of it. I think that would be a totally neat idea. Autumn did it 2 years ago at the assembly.
Cute pics! Wow, the tooth fairy is really busy!
That is super cool that they would cut their hair off and make you a wig. What a nice gesture ;)
I've been looking at some rockin scarves for you. Haven't decided on any yet. So many to choose from. I love the "mom and dad will match" thing! That is awesome! I don't think Mark would shave his head 4 me. He is too much of a hair weirdo. I would be worried it wouldn't come back! It works out that Curtis already shaves it! Now you guys can "cone". hehehe
