Socks

On daycare mornings generally I get Beau dressed after he eats and then tell him to go pick out his socks. He usually walks over to the sock chest, waits for me to open the drawer (it's really old and has NUMEROUS coats of paint on it, so the drawer tends to stick) and then he picks out his socks. This morning it was the same thing... I told him to go get some socks and he stands up. But then instead of just walking over there he drops to his knees and "walks" over there standing on his knees. I was very confused, chuckled and asked him what he was doing as I got up and walked across the room. It wasn't until then that I noticed what I was doing. I was walking across the room on my knees! I took a second and realized that I do this every morning. I don't stand up and walk across the room, I just walk over on my knees. But what I thought was especially funny was that he wasn't copying what I was doing today. When he got up I was still sitting gathering up his PJ's. He was copying what he had apparently been watching me do every morning. Crazy the things he picks up on! Needless to say I laughed VERY hard and gave him a great big hug. He looked at me like I was nuts and and we went back to picking out socks.



Tonight Beau helped me make a Christmas Countdown tree to hang on our fridge. Each day Beau gets to put a numbered ball ornament on. By Christmas day it will be fully decorated with a star on top! Beau enjoyed running around the real Christmas tree again tonight, it seems to be his favorite activity since we put it up. He tries really hard not to touch the ornaments and take them off the tree, once in awhile he just can't help it, but he really does pretty good.

    Here is another fun Christmas tradition I just learned about for kids... the elf on a shelf! So cute! He visits during December and reports back on behavior to Santa. :) http://www.elfontheshelf.com/#/gift-shop

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season.  Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA.  The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly.  Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year.  Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class.  Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays!  I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated.  The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work.  Around here I...

WITL Day 5 - Friday

Friday began, as predicted, with a steady soaking rain and I was glad I switched my run to yesterday.  At 5am Georgia decided I've hit the snooze button enough, puts her paws up on the bed and licks my hands until I get up.  She didn't get the same glad feeling about not getting to head out on a run, and lay pouting by the front door. I fill her food bowl while the coffee brews, and she decides that if we can't run she'll ask to be repeatedly let in and out instead.  The result was lots of muddy paw drying. Around 6 Luke leaves for work and Georgia settles down.  The house is finally quiet and still and I'm thankful for the few minutes of peace. It's daycare appreciation day, and this year I am showered with gifts from my families.  It definitely adds a boost to the otherwise dreary and slow start to the day.  As the kids are packing their bags for school I find that some homework has been neglected throughout the week.  I'm ...

Not The Only One

Another Halloween has come and gone.  This year we had a dinosaur, vampire, and Snow White (returning for the second year in a row).   Holidays like this are always such a stark reminder of just how not babies my babies are.  Once again I just wasn't in the Halloween spirit this year.  We didn't even go to a pumpkin patch or apple orchard.  The few free hours we had were cold and rainy and the kids weren't in to it.  I definitely wasn't into it. This year, as if I needed more of a reminder of how fast my kids' childhood is slipping away, the social media trend seemed to be "Halloween from years gone by".  Everyone, at least in my "friend" feed was posting year to year Halloween pictures of their kids.   As I was busy liking and loving everyone's past Halloweens I came across a post that stopped me in my tracks.  In her post she stated that she felt like the Scrooge of Halloween and that what was once fun now felt like ...
