Don't get caught being LAZY...

A few weeks ago Avery was noticing the many houses decorated with lights and such for the Christmas holiday. She then asked mw why we didn't decorate our house and I shouldn't have but did, tell her that is was because her father was lazy and didn't like to put up holiday decorations. As soon as we walked in the door that day she asked her dad why he was lazy. Oops! She made similar remarks to him about being lazy over the next few days and then it was over. But then on Christmas Eve poor little Avery was in a bad mood because none of her friends have been able to play because of the holidays and I have been so busy cooking that she had been felling pretty neglected. I saw a house all decked out in Christmas decorations and was excited to point it out to her hoping to lift her spirits. Instead of excitement this look of disgust came on her face and she said, "Well, even their Dad's not lazy!"

Merry Christmas to us!

Merry Christmas to us, Madelyn learned how to open the doors in our house. Great! Now we'll be starting over with the bedtime wars.

He's Making a List and Checking it Twice

It is Christmas Eve afternoon and I am in the kitchen slaving away. The girls are trying to entertain themselves by jumping off our pony wall onto the couch. I just glanced over at Avery and Madelyn sitting on the back of the couch and noticed a suspicious look on Avery's face. She was contemplating doing something that she new she shouldn't and when she noticed me looking at her she asked, "mom, has Santa checked his list twice yet?"
That little rascal!
