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!"

Oh, man. That's funny. Welp, I guess it is proof that our kids really do listen to us (at all the wrong times)
Wow. Little ears have a lot to say. I love how things come out an unexpected times. Happy New Year!
I LOVE that story. Maybe that will motivate Travis to not be "lazy" next christmas and get his butt out there and put some lights up!
It really sucks when they go and tell Daddy what we said, huh? And it always seems to make us sound like horrid people. Trust me when I say, it has happened to me way more than I would have liked.
Someone told my kids Santa doesn't come if you don't decorate for him to let him know you are waiting for his magic...that binds us every year to at least get a little something up!
Congrats on news about the boy!
It's good they found the blood condition, but I'm sorry you've had to deal with all the dr appointments, and thinning injections. That's so frustrating!
Sorry to hear about Madelyn's tonsils and adenoids! Hopefully things will get better for you guys soon!
