Tonight after bath Lennox said to me : You Belle, me Beast. You peanutbutterjelly, me peanutbutterjelly.
If that's not love, what is?!

Back on the bandwagon
Sidenote: I love that movie!
Ok, I've been a major slacker on this here blog and truthfully I kind of forgot about it until this week. My mom finally discovered it and told to keep it up, so here I go!
It's Christmas time! Starting today I am off work with the kiddos for the next week and a half. A few holidays and 2 glorious weekends with the hubs to go! My 'rents have tickets for us to go to the New Year's Day Falcons game and I cannot even tell how excited we are!
Other than it being a celebration for Jesus' birth, Christmas is getting more wonderful every year. The kiddos are getting bigger and older and are being able to take part in more traditions (that we make up as we go). Movies: they love the classics so far. White Christmas, Rudolph, Holiday Inn. We are going to tackle Miracle on 34th Street today.
I've just been approached with the question "Why don't elves have birthdays on Christmas, just Jesus?" Oh, little one, how you stump me with your mind powers. We have taken the Santa approach that St. Nick was real and Santa is fun, but for pretend. I do remind Lolly not to tell the other kids though!
Riddle me this: how did my son, who is 2, get more presents from his class than he will get on Christmas?! Truly, I feel this is more of a parent thing. I refuse to enter into competition.
What Christmas traditions do you have? Which do you want to start? I love the idea of an Advent Calendar... maybe next year, eh?

Good idea/Bad idea?!
Night 2 of sibling room-sharing has commenced. Last night was fine. Other than Lennox putting half of Lilia's clothes in the toy chest 3x and giggling crazily every time I threatened his tooshie if he didn't stay in bed, they did pretty well.
Tonight on the other hand is a giggle fest betwixt the piggies. I'm hoping this will smooth over after a few nights, just like when we moved Lennox into his big boy bed. i just think they are enjoying it a little too much. I love that my kiddos get along (most of the time). We had baths, teeth, book, tuck in per usual. What else could i do to make them know for reals that bed time is NOT play time?!

Say what?!
Miss fellows = marshmallows in Lilia language.
"I wish I had red hair like Ariel."
Now that Lennox is finally using yes and no the way they were meant to be used, I can actually ask him questions and discover his true feelings on the subject. Although yes is still more like yah. Like, "Yah, mule!" Which can sometimes be directed at Lilia. I don't know where that kid gets her stubbornness from.... :)

Warm Fuzzies
I am definitely a cup half-full kinda gal. I even made mention a few weeks ago that I think of it as 3/4 full sometimes. Mainly because I know that God is in control of my life and what goes on in it.
Taking a cue from "count your many blessings" and "stop and smell the roses" I like to point out and notice "warm fuzzies". Simple, little happenings that make life a bit more bearable, also known as "God things". Recently, on the same day, I received a bill from a doctor and a refund check from our car insurance company. The refund check was more than the bill, plus $2.00!
Over the past few months whenever I hold my son (who will be 2 in 2 weeks!) he puts one arm behind my back and plays with my hair. SUPER WARM FUZZY!!!!!!!!!! It is the sweetest thing.
Be on the lookout for warm fuzzies in your daily life. God has placed them there for a reason. :)
um... I just realized that I already have a post with the word "fuzzy" in it. c'est la vie.

FREEEE BIRRRDDDD
My son looks adorable in a polo shirt. Right now he is wearing one... and not much else. He is also pulling a slinky around the house, running and giggling. True happiness. Oh, and now he's dancing to music that his Little People Farm makes.
I like being able to enjoy the little things in life through my kids.
