Merry Christmas

Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Dominic is really into Santa this year and it is a lot of fun! Of course he wants to dress-up and bring gifts to everyone. On this particular day, his beard was a long piece of TP and he filled his basket with books to place under the tree.

If the camera is out, Natalie wants her picture taken. Also, she will not wear pants. About 60% of the time we are home she will keep her shirt or dress on. Pants? 0%. Those come off the second we walk in the door. It is always an argument when we have to get dressed to leave, but thank goodness she seems to understand that clothes are a necessity, only for going outside that is.

I love the things they say

While watching the Curious George Christmas movie Natalie came to me very concerned...

N: Mommy, George doesn't know how to make a snowman and he's sad.
Me: Do you know how to make a snowman? We should teach him.
N: But I'm still in the family room. I don't know how to get in the TV.

The kids have also been quite taken with the Curious George 2 movie (there was a marathon on over Thanksgiving weekend that we recorded). This movie included a magician so Dominic decided he needed to be a "magic man".

He had a popsicle stick that was his wand and because he had chewed the lid of his cup he told me he didn't want it anymore.

D: abra ca brabra, be disappeared.
D: hey, it didn't it work. I think this wand needs some batteries.
