Ten On Tuesday

1. A client brought in candied walnuts. They're kind of almost better than chocolate. Almost.

2. I think my love for Alvin and the Chipmunks is growing. Their Christmas jingle is currently my ring tone and I'm proud of it, babe.

3. We went to the Parade of Lights at the Channel Islands Harbor this weekend. "Santa" flew overhead and Cole made sure everyone knew that it was "not the real Santa cuz he lives in the North Pole."

The lights were really pretty! We didn't stay longer than 30 minutes because the kids got bored. A nice lady offered to take our picture.

Tyler was so kind in allowing me to wear his beanie. He was fine in a tshirt. I wish I wasn't always freezing!

4. The pavilion in downtown Oxnard has lights that are coordinated with Christmas music. After the harbor we headed there to check it out.

5. I love the way our picture turned out!

6. I'm sick. Thankfully not too sick to work.

7. I get very excited about ordering office supplies. I'm getting a new phone and calendar this week. Talk about an early Christmas present! Haha, sad city Batten.

Sad city just took me back to middle school. What an awkward time full of braces adjustments, flute playing and getting those fun packages full of Clearasil and Always samples (I loved those things). Good times.

8. The kids are doing really great with their new chore charts. Kayley earned her $2 last week and Cole earned his $1. They have been taking more responsibility and that means less for Tyler and I to do and I love it.

9. Cole is for sure going to play tball in the Spring. Talk about cute! Kim, I think you will be here during the season!

10. Next week I'm doing 2 on Tuesday. It is so hard for me to come up with stuff to yack about.
