Hmm. I drafted all of my December posts back in January. Guess I should get to them now, eh?
Back on December 3, I had the kind of day is summed up in one simple picture:
Here's what I wrote on Facebook about it:
It's been that kind of crappy day. The kind where Samson screams at me for everything and continues to refuse bottles and milk, and complains about the other food I offer him. All while Thora cries about every little thing, and Dancy yells at anyone who looks at her. And a bath for 2 kids takes 2 hours. And the diaper trash cans are overflowing because Tom and Katie have forgotten their chores for several days. And Samson will only take half hour naps. And Thora loses a 4 oz bottle of milk somewhere in the house. And she steals the insert for Dancy's toilet in order to better cook her Cabbage Patch doll in her kitchen. It's a good thing I didn't have any illusions of getting anything done today!
Samson figured out that he could crawl under chair and over rungs.
He thought it was pretty great!
Katie art. This is a jungle with a tiger. It's raining, the sun is setting, and there are coconuts on the ground.
The Little Mermaid, topless, and Flouder.
A double rainbow with people. She named different people this time than she did when she showed me the first time.
Santa at the library, but we tell our kids the truth. Actually, this year we're going to give them secret missions to be santas for someone they think needs it.
The girls found a (dead) ladybug in the hall one morning and made a house for it. Katie cared for it all day, despite Tom and I telling her it was not moving.
Tommy lost his first tooth...okay, second tooth, but this one was natural instead of faceplanting on a slide!
It was still pretty traumatic, with all those memories of the first lost tooth. It took a lot of persuasion and bribery for him to wiggle it, then I had to pull it out for him. In the end, he decided it was so bad, but that didn't stop him from dragging things out with the other 2 loose teeth until they got knocked out while wrestling with Mom and Katie!
Christmas stocking treats!
