Decorating the Tree

We did a lot of shopping today. Some for a couple of Angel Tree kids we adopted for Christmas. These are kids in the DC Metro area that may not be getting a lot under the tree. Both were boys around 5 or 6 years old so we bought a shirt and sweater, hat and gloves, a book and two toys a piece. I hope they like them. We also bought a new faucet for the master bedroom shower. The one currently installed only delivers extremely hot water. Hopefully the plumber will come this week. We are moving our showers to the guest bath for now. And finally, we got a new HP Printer, scanner, copier and fax. It also has built in wireless Internet so that our laptops can print from it without the family room computer being turned on. The family room computer used to serve as the print server to the old printer but new one is on the network all by itself. Very cool.

The boys are doing well and liking all the holiday stuff. We raced our bikes on the driveway for a long while tonight and they have become pretty slick on those trikes. They can pick up some good speed and put them into a complete 180 at the end of the driveway. I got my bike out this weekend and filled the tires with air to ride with them. They really like papa's bike and want to ride it. I guess it's time to get new bikes for the little speed demons and for momma to finally get her bike back in shape. Got a busy week planned, need to get some sleep.
