13 days till Christmas!


We're all getting holiday happy around here...we've got our (minimal) Christmas decorations up, and the kids are being especially nice to one another. (they know Santa's watching!) Monday and Tuesday they each had a Christmas program at the preschool which was wonderfully entertaining for those of use who got to watch. Matthew's class was hilarious! It was a bunch of three year olds trying to out sing one another. Matthew received the award for being the best singer in the group and we were so proud. He has spent the past two weeks practicing all the songs ALL the time (my personal favorite was "Little Gray donkey, clip clop clip clop, all the way to Bethlehem"; very very cute). Caitlin's performance was slightly more organized and she did a WONDERFUL job. She knew all the words to all the songs, and looked beautiful up there in her red Christmas dress and (faux) fur lined sweater.



In typical Caitlin fashion, she was oh so serious during the performance-this was strictly business folks-no time for waving, smiling or silliness. She cracks me up.


We have had the most wonderful weather for the past few days which has allowed us to go play outside during the afternoons; the kids LOVE their backyard. They play on the playground constantly and practice playing t-ball. They are getting very good at it!

Caitlin whacking the ball.


Hannah can't stand to miss any of the fun...and loves to be outside. Today I caught her looking at the mobile on her swing. So cute!



And of course the peanut butter puppy has to be in on the fun. She would LOVE to be able to play outfield (and chew the baseballs) but she knows better. Just a ratty old tennis ball for you Chass!

When they need a break they just come and hang out in the Georgia chairs.


...or roll around in the grass. Life is good!

Hannah is doing well..aside from an ear infection that is. However she is getting on more of a schedule-we're able to put her to bed at 8 with the kids (usually; though its 9:00 right now and she has just gotten daddy to get her up for some playtime. Oh well) and she'll get me up only once or twice in the night to eat. Which isn't' too bad.

Ok, well actually she called daddy to tell him to get mommy because it's been 5 minutes since she last ate and she's famished! So I must go. More later.

I love the kids' pajamas! Where did you get those?

Also, did you ever solve the mystery of "He too was me?"
