I poopy

AS I was talking on the phone with my mother. Christina and Chloe were watching the Wizard of OZ. Christina tells me I Poopy. I tell her I will change her when dad is done. She then runs upstairs to her older sisters. Avery comes running down the stairs, yelling Christina has poop on her hands. I hang up the phone, run upstairs to see Chloe with poop all over her hands. So what did I learn from this? When you kid says I poopy, you better ask what is poppy?

HO HO Snow

Christmas has come and gone again. I sit here in what I think is our living room. It is filled with pieces of wrapping paper and lose pieces from games and Barbies. We had no toys to put together this year. But I did have a MP3 Player that took 4 hours to load. I have prepared myself for endless days of watching the Wizard of OZ and asst. Veggie Tales movies.

We did go over to my sister today. I managed to get through the slush. As I was eating my second helping of Lefsa, I took a look around and notice how blessed my family has been. Despite all of the struggles and changes we had another Christmas together. We have learned or should I say we are learning to trust the Lord more.

I must confess I was not that into the holidays this year. I am not sure it it just came so fast or I just didn't have time. As I watched all of the kids open there gifts and paper was flying I was reminded about the excitement of the holidays. It was the gift. Not the ones we give and receive from each of, But the one we got on this day over 2000 years ago. The gift of Jesus and what he gave us. I can't help but smile and hum silent night as I type.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

It's all great

I am still working on getting the Christmas program off my camcorder onto the computer. I need to load a new driver.

It has been A crazy month. Getting ready for Christmas, Helping at church with the Christmas show,trying to keep the tree decorated, picking up everything 3 times and having to do it again. Work, bus stops, snacks, Flu shots, not taking naps and did I mention picking up eveything 3 times and having to do it again. It make a person what to stop and scream. Just when I have had enough and I want to runaway. My kids remind me why it is all worth while. I just finished picking up the living room for the second time. Chloe runs it to the room and wraps her arms around my legs and say "My daddy no share and we start to dance". Just then Christina joins in. I am on my knees dancing as the have their arms wrappd around me. I forgot about all of the other stuff. Even the removal of all of the DVDs from the drawer. We just danced and giggled and had a good time. As usual, I have to cut this short. I can smell a diaper that needs changing

Sorry it has been so long

It has been awhile since I last typed. The Holidays, Work and everything else has been keeping me pretty busy. Sunday will be the big Christmas play at Church. I am hoping to have it posted. Hannah (the 7 year old) has a solo. Avery (the 5 year old) and the Twins Chloe and Christina ( 2 year old wonder twins) will all be singing away in the manger. It never fails I start to type and some needs something. I am going to change a diaper or 2. I will have to share our attempt to potty later.
