Merry Christmas

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

One overdue blog post.

Or something.

We are enjoying Christmas here so far. It is beautiful and snowy. Yesterday the children and I bundled ourselves up in our winter gear to play outside in the snow. We attempted to build a snowfort, but got too cold before it was even halfway done.

I am not sure if we'll play outside again today. It's colder today, but hopefully it will warm up a little.

Paul is still in bed enjoying his vacation. He doesn't go back to work until Monday. It is nice to have him at home.

I am looking forward to our new years party this year. It's almost here! And there are two new babies to meet, Anna and Ella!

And speaking of babies, Dr. Wheeler is talking about possibly inducing mid-January. I will push for holding off as long as possible.

A microcosm of life at our house

Me: what was dissecting the frog like?
Abby: It was fun!
Me: what did you like best?
Abby: the mouth, because we got to open it up and pull the tongue out.

Me (to Omi): Are you a big girl?
Omi: dah!!! (this is yes)
Me: Is Abby a big girl?
Omi: dah!!!
Me: Is Sammy a big girl?
Omi: Noooooooo!
Me: What is Sammy?
Omi: He a Sammy!

I roll over in bed and discover Isaac lying beside me.
Me: Isaac why aren't you in your bed?
Isaac: Because I'm thirsty!

At therapy with Sammy.
Sammy: I can't do it!
Lynn (the PT): Yes you can! You need to use that tummy muscle!
Sammy: Actually, it's an Ab!
