December 18th-24th

(12/18) Work day for Dad & me.  It sounds like the kids had a good day at Kathy's.  Tuesdays are always such a whirlwind. They always make me look forward to my Wednesdays with the boys though!


(12/19) SNOW DAY!!  It's so pretty!  We ended up with maybe 2" of very wet snow.  Dad got the snow tires put on my car and I waffled on taking the van out in it for a while, but when C came down dressed in his snow suit, we couldn't not go out.  We hit up Starbucks and then delivered to Sarah's, and stayed to play.  We came home to lunch and the last day of school before break for C.  The littles napped while Jax and I watched a movie.

We had a messy dinner tonight (spaghetti), so it was bath night.  J gets so excited, and kicked his little feet all the way to the tub.  I discovered he had a messy diaper while in there, so took him back out to the changing table first and he screamed bloody murder. Drama queen!


(12/20)  Work day for me, and Dad had the boys.  I ended up getting off work early and took advantage of Dad being home to watch kids to get the last of my Christmas shopping done.  I still got home early and Dad went to get pizza for us.  We had a great evening together, and I'm finally feeling ready for the Christmas rush!


(12/21) What a fun day!  I had a half day at work and then Dad met me with the kids.  The littles sacked out for the ride to and from work, but woke about a block from home.  We kicked around home for a little bit, then headed over to Sarah's mom's house for a cookie party. The boys played and played and played.  I could tell they were fading at dinner, especially when J almost zonked out at the table.  I decided to head home around 6:30p, and they didn't even make it past me going back in to get their stuff.  I put them directly to bed, even though it was a little early, and then started in on ALL the wrapping I have been putting off.  We have some SPOILED kids.  Nana kept C for a sleep-over, so I was able to it get it accomplished without prying eyes.

Nana gave the little boys finger puppet books, and they crack J up.  He later started screaming at all the other books that he checked because they didn't have puppets in them!


(12/22)  Yay!  We got to sleep in today!  The littles slept til 8a, and then talked for a good half hour.  I made them breakfast and then we played at home for the morning.  C came home around lunchtime and Sarah brought more presents.  J has figured out the ripping wrapping paper thing and really wanted to help C with his.  Sarah got them some puzzles, and by the way the pieces have been distributed all around the house, I'd say they were a hit!


(12/23) C had his first hockey game of the season.  He started off in goal right away, got scored on, but then went on to get two assists.  Way to go, C!  I missed half the game since my eyes were on the busy twosome.  Thankfully, Jay & Sarah R came to visit, and Sarah generously loaned me an extra set of eyes and hands.

Tonight was "kids dinner" at Grandma & Granddad's.  Grandma went all out and cooked quite the feast. The twins and I camped out in the kitchen and took everything out of the cupboards and made a grand mess.  It was fun.  After dinner, and seeing two thousand yard stares, I put them down where they proceeded to scream for a long time.  So not how I wanted them to end their evening.  Sorry, guys.


(12/24) Merry Christmas (Eve)!  We are driving down to Gig Harbor today for dinner with Nanan's side of the family.  Should be fun!  Wishing you all a wonderful holiday!
