our tree needed a top, i guess. rex cut the star. sailor drew the nativity scene.
i sang hark the herald angels sing to jack tonight & benny wanted the same song too. when i was done he asked -
'what the newborn king name is?'
Jesus. i answered.
he smiled.

this post was supposed to have happened much much earlier in the day. silly me to think i'd have time . . .
the kids were in and out most of the morning. it went something like this -
finally get everyone dressed warm enough and out the door.
3 minutes later someone has to go to the bathroom - which turns somehow into a group event.
ok everybody back out.
and then someone wants the bike someone else is already riding.
which causes an unnecessary meltdown.
next there's water all over the driveway with empty 5 gallon buckets.
really? and its how cold out?
change of socks, shoes, coats times 3.
next some something is needed from inside.
and some other offense takes place.
and i question whether anyone knows what brotherly love is!
repeat.
repeat.
and it really seemed like it repeated again.
and try.try.trY to not become totally overrun with character that's unbecoming : )
i've had an all out assault on the laundry today. my least favorite load to fold is the white load filled with t-shirts, underoo's & dozens and dozens of socks to match. i was impressed with myself on the discovery of a pocket full of ritz crackers before it hit the wash instead of after!
there is candy cane stuck to the desk - right where my arm lays while typing. ummm?
tonight turned into a movie & bubble bath night . . . for the kids. our movie was last night.
the only thing i have in common with julia childs is a love of pearls : ) but i'm inspired to learn to cook!
some christmas music, the dryer & rex snoring - those are the sounds left here tonight. everything & everyone else is quiet.
- - -
and last -
an outtake of our christmas pictures.
merry christmas.
