Christmas

Junior had a fantastic Christmas. He got way too much stuff and loved all of it! He seemed to love the whole season really. The trees and lights and all of it. I am actually sad it's over already.

I lost my camera and my cell phone in my house today, there really is that much stuff here.

And we got a Zoo membership, so we can use that all year long!

Cookies!

Final product


We made a small batch and a big mess but it was fun. I think we'll do it again soon, maybe with some help. Then our shapes may not look like blobs!

First oops

We broke our first ornament this morning. I think Jr had forgotten about the tree and then suddenly he must have remembered. We were in the kitchen and he said lights, and drug me to the living room so we could turn on the tree lights. And we sat and looked at it. Then he was playing with the bulbs and accidentally hit one of the glass ones against a metal bell and it broke. Oh well. Very poor planing on my part to buy glass ornaments when we have a toddler in the house.

Christmas tree

SO Jr has done really well with it, we have only had it up for a few hours though. He likes to look at it. He liked playing in the tree box. I think that is picture two.
The cat likes to bat at the low ornaments, between her and Junior I think we're going to have watch the tree the whole season!

last week

This is the last week of clases for me. I have finals next week and I am so ready for this to be over. Junior has been going through the terrible twos quite terribly, and I myself have not been handling it well either. I'm hopefull this break from classes will give a chance to regroup as a person and mommy. I think I may try to start a project or something. Maybe sew something for the new baby, or make Jr something special for schristmas. I thought about teaching myself to croche, but I'm not really sure what need I have for that. Maybe paper crafting, I like the look of homemade cards.

ps. I am looking for a car if anyone wants to sell one for cheap.
