Well here it is, my long overdue post! I know many of you think, as my younger brother so eloquently stated that I have all this free time with my break until the New Year time to sit around and update everybody on what's going on....
Last week was pretty much a blur, in a good kind of blurry way. We were crazy busy with many activities for school and dance. It started Sunday with Hanging of the Green, and just kept going. Check out our school BLOG to see our great school support night at McDonald's! We raised $507.00 dollars in just 3 short hours! Now, the fun begins as 100+ people try to decide how to spend that money! I personally would like to buy an industrial snow cone machine for the kids, but many of my cohorts want to buy WHITE COPY PAPER which just will drive me nuts!
We ended the week on Friday, taking my mom out to eat for her 61st birthday! It was a great time, and I think she enjoyed it! Thank goodness for Kan-chi and Publix!
Saturday Derek and my brother and his girlfriend went to the Gator game - they said it was a good time, I would not know because I was at home deathly ill from some kind of nasty food poisoning as best we can tell. Was not fun, but I have survived! Thank goodness the house was spotlessly cleaned and the yard immaculately done prior to about 5:30!
Today we did something that we have never done before. We rode the SKYWAY Express to Hemming Plaza downtown and walked to the Main Library and the Landing for lunch! Thank goodness for those honest homeless men that made my children nervous and assisted us in the right "tram order!" Even though we watched them "jump" the fair line! They were quite harmless and ended us guiding us right to the Park!
Lo and Behold! When we arrived Santa was waiting on us... So much for mailing those letter late, he told the girls not to worry,-
And yes, this big hawk was there too! Many people in the park said it is rare to see a hawk there during the middle of the day, but hey the rats must have been near!
The main library was well worth the taxpayer money! I'd actually vote to give more if they would redo the library by our house. But they did have this great display of "book" themed Christmas trees. They were so fun to look at!
This was our first outing of the break! Tomorrow I have a few errands to run, the grocery store, and then I think we are going to see the Cummer for even more Trees! 
Peppermint is still around for a few more days, - today he was in the kitchen! I will post his location tomorrow! Enjoy this time - Don't forget the true reason for the season!
