merry x-mas!!!!

okay so before you start yelling at me for being two weeks delinquent on the blog postings let me just say happy holidays and happy new year......
we the sick house i think have gotten every odd strain of illness that is available on the mass market of illness
yes....that is the reason you have not heard from me...i was out for about 4 maybe 5 days with the tummy flu and let me say YUCK!
but so far all the kiddies aaron included has seemed to avoided it
but it was bad very very bad
trip to the er to get rehydrate and let me say that i think one should be able to purchase their own personal IV drips and have the option of administering it personally from home
after my re hydration i felt good.....i actually could drink a glass of water
okay enough about me and my illness
x-mas was wonderful!!!!!
"santa" got sadie and silas a train table which of course they love
silas likes to pretend he is godzilla tearing the city down and sadie neatly organizes the trains and box cars
sadie also got a dollhouse which she loves to spend hours playing pretend
though i think sadie's favorite presents are the ones silas got and i think silas's favorite are the ones sadie got
so for next year "santa" may not label anything and just say go for it....
"santa" had a late night putting everything together..."santa's" statement is "you need three arms and zero gravity to put these things together" so next year...."santa" swears no presents that require a screw driver.....though aaron did get me a toolbox for x-mas nicely decorated with my name in very big letters so i can tackle the house with out looking on top or in the fridge for the tools i need
oddly enough i am not sure how it happens but i have found tools in the the cheese drawer
anyway.....
we had a fun time and thank everyone for all your warm thoughts and wonderful presents!!!

silas is saying maaamaaamaaa and daaaadaaadaaa lots and is becoming very vocal about his opinion which means do not take his dinosaur away EVER
sadie is doing great and loves to read
she has to fall asleep every night on top or in between the pages of her mother goose book
it takes her about an hour after we turn off the light to fall asleep
she reads mother goose or her "little" books which are actually silas's little books to her dr. lamby
it is great that she loves to read the few times i have moved the book in the middle of the night i am awaken only a few hours later to put it back...this is fight i am not willing to have a three in the morning thus i have stopped removing the book
silas is still cruising the furniture he has stood on his own now for 1 minute before crashing onto his bucket
he is rather proud of himself
he also loves babies!!!!
if he sees a picture of a baby or sees a baby he tries to kiss them
his kisses of course are still big wet and sloppy but he does loves kissing and hugging
he is very mommy focused right now so i can not leave the room with out big wet tears
he is going to "food school" with sadie and loves it...though he plays soooo much that he is usually in bed by 6 pm which only means he is usually up ready to play at 4:30 or 5.....
ah....i wish we had night owls instead of early risers
anyway better run and get this posted
enjoy the pictures and movies!
