This blog will probably be one more thing I don't get accomplished, but reading others it seemed like fun and a good way to keep others up to date. Supposedly a good way to archive too...?? Not sure how much I trust the internet to archive for me but since other methods aren't being too effective I'll try this. Maybe I'll print out what I write. I suppose the fact that others will be waiting with baited breath to hear about our lives will keep me on it, but hopefully not making up large tales to make us look cooler than we are. So I'll dive in and tell you what was eventful about today.
Laura asked Cole, what are you going to be when you grow up? Cole started to say a scientist then midway through was frustrated and said I want to be a lot of things when I grow up. Laura not really paying attention to his answer said I'm going to be whatever you're going to be. :)....
Then she said no I'm going to be a mermaid (Little Mermaid has found it's way into our lives with a big splash!). Of course Cole says you can't be a mermaid and Laura says yes I can and the debate ensued. It is so fun to watch the kids be kind and play together, there seem to be more of those moments than the less fun ones lately.
We put up our Christmas tree and the kids were super excited. We were talking about Santa coming and Laura said we wouldn't be able to light a fire in the stove so that Santa could come down and wouldn't Santa be so surprised to see our pretty tree. Cole has discovered the "truth" about Santa. He said a few months ago Santa couldn't be real because reindeer can't fly and he wouldn't be able to fit all the presents in the sleigh. We didn't perpetuate the "myth" and I'm sort of wishing we had. He's pretty excited about helping being Santa and he's really good about not revealing the "facts of life" to Laura. Hannah was asleep while we put up the tree so I can't wait to see her expression in the morning.
I don't think I'm supposed to say this much in one blog. I'm still learning the ropes. Hope everyone is well and is as excited about Christmas as I am!!!!
