Fake Jake, work and hockey jackets

Dexter is taking this class Family Living and he got the chose of writing a 20 000 word essay or taking a fake baby for 4 days and three nights.  He chose to take the baby.  So he brought it home yesterday and was already stressed out about it. He hated how when it cried at school everybody would stare at him.  He didn't do too bad at home, he got frustrated a couple of times.  He would go from bottle, diaper and back again if it didn't stop crying.  So I would take him and just bounce him and he would stop crying.  He was not impressed that I could get him to stop crying.

I posted on face book about it and had a really good laugh.  Dex is wishing he would have taken the essay instead.  I told him babies were work.  He just does not like to stop doing what he wants to do because he starts crying.

I have tried to upload the video I took at Nick's Christmas concert but it won't work so I will have to put it on a CD and send it out.

Last Thursday we get a call that Nick's hockey jacket and toque was in so we go over to Ron's (Brody's Dad) and had Nick come but didn't tell him where we were going.  They are really nice jackets.  I don't think Nick has taken it off either.

Work is going good.  Last week was really nice but this week has been a bit colder.  We got a little snow but it will be gone because the sun is shinning.  We don't even have our tree up yet.  Dexter hates it up before his birthday so we wait and then we had hockey and Christmas concerts, after school stuff and we just have not had the time.  Nobody has even said anything either.  Maybe we will just skip it.  If there was snow outside that would make it seem like Christmas but we don't have any.  Funny how that goes together.
