I. My honey got me a new cell phone for Christmas. That's right. He couldn't wait for me to open it and badgered me until I did. He's terrible about keeping secrets. I always know what I'm getting long before he gives it to me. I love surprises but it is nearly impossible to truly surprise me. I have a sixth sense, you know. But I love the phone anyways.
II. The word of the week is "pistol" All the kids run around acting out scenes from Savage Sam and yelling, "Where's my pistol?! ... Get me my pistol!" and so on. Gwyneth started it. Is anyone surprised? I thought not.
III. Last week Heidi and I went over to Grandma's and rolled and dipped 200 chocolate cherries....In 2 and a half hours. With 3 "helpers". Not bad. Good thing we left them all there....The cherries, not the helpers.
IV. I'm really loving Bebo Norman's holiday album. I made Lyle download it for me after hearing it on Pandora. It's just so calming. And I need calm. Also love Third Day's Angels We Have Heard On High, even if my hubby does think it's a bit on the cheesy side. (the piano..gorgeous!)
V. Adah's list of accomplishments has grown by leaps and bounds. She now shakes her head no when she doesn't want something, grooves to the Christmas tunes by bobbing up and down, calls me when she wants me, has sprouted another tooth, and thanks to Daddy, will give anyone who asks a high-five. They're currently working on the stick-your-tongue-out-and-blow-spit-all-over-everything-while-making-that-obnoxious-sound trick...what is that called, anyway?
VI. "Tigers have bangs!" Gwyneth informed me the other day.
"Do you mean, 'Lion's have manes'?"
"Oh, Ya!" Giggle.
VII. A few of the stuffs in our stockings this year; tutu pom wand, velvet clips, super hero masks, ribbon clips, quilted bibs, paper dolls. We also have wooden circus trains, Lightening McQueens, batteries (yes, you read that right!) and lots of other boy things. Lest you think they got jipped.
VIII. Our boys made their stage debut last Sunday for the Christmas program. Gwyneth is an old pro; this being her 3rd time. They were all so excited, but you wouldn't know it to look at them up there. They were literally scared stiff!
IX. After nearly 3 years we are finally getting a tub faucet! Now I can soak in my own tub instead of the kids'! $300.00 later...ya, there's a reason it took us this long...and that was on the cheap end! (And yes, I feel VERY guilty spending that kind of money on something so unnecessary.)
X-mas?
No.
Merry Christmas!

{violets are blue}
and I'll never love brown eyes again...
this weeks accomplishments include:
*her very first tooth, with not a single fuss
*her first complete roll, tummy-to-back-to-tummy
*she now understands, "eat", "jump" and "night-night", and will tell me when she's ready to go to bed by laying her head on my shoulder and popping her thumb in her mouth.
*her hair gets more unruly by the day. Mama is trying to get up the nerve to cut off those straggly curls. {Sniff.}
