week 32 and x-mas right around the corner

8 weeks or two months to go before omen #2 comes out and says hello
how are you?
and considering the linguistics skills sadie is expressing it would not be a surprise if he does come out saying hello and a manuscript for a short novella
yes sadie is amazing us daily with her ability to speak in three languages including latin
she is currently learning how to spell her name
she can identify most letters in the alphabet when written and is learning to identify the numbers when written
so we are enrolling her into the graduate program at harvard next semester to learn about advance economics....
which by the way omen #2's official name is "buddy bud first bank of koonce" figure it would be a good time to get our feet wet with economic bail out right?
anyways all the silliness aside (b/c we are really a serious crabby bunch here in cleveland)
what has been happening......
the odd thing is we are ALL exhausted but when i look back at our days i come up with little
sadie is preparing for #2
she is learning how to make soup....her favorite is turtle soup she makes with her mimi
it involves running bunnies over with her toy car than stirring them in a pot.....
she is also learning how to put her clothes away, and has figured out how to tickle herself and those around her so watch out she has magical fast tickle fingers
she is also going take her mimi and bumpa to go see ELMO LIVE in downtown cleveland in feb
so she is learning how to drive.....yes her brand new car!
that is our big excitement we bought a new used car
new being a 2008, used being there are already some miles on it.....but it is FUN
it is a big car sorry SUV
(but aaron i both feel like we are driving a tank which means all you little mini cooper style cars out there be very very careful.....we gotsome power now)
yes we have joined the ranks of the gas guzzling people out there trying to figure out how to put two car seats (maybe three), groceries and stroller into any kind of vehicle.....thus we have purchased a ford escape
we are among though the big SUV drivers that is trying to help the economy and the american car industry so before you yell at us......think about all the good we did
now that is off the list now its a matter of sitting and waiting
#2 can get very very active at times to the point where i can not sit down
so i have learned a trick or two
when at work he gets to listen to one of my headphones while i listen to the other
currently he really enjoys 80's pop rock though is not a big fan of belinda carlisle, he LOVES duran duran and pat benatar
not sure if this is going to become a part of his profile when he does emerge but it is interesting either way......
that is all for today and perhaps this week

winter solstice just around the corner


its almost time to for winter solstice the shortest day of the year
which only means that the days will be getting longer
YIPPPEEEE!!!
cleveland has been experiencing typical cleveland weather
grey with another shade of grey and maybe if your lucky you may get another layer of grey
thus explains mike the mailman's attempt at x-mas decorations see picture below
anyways what has been happening
lots of little nothings
we did get a tree and no it is not made out of tinker toys though that would be lots of fun
i only did 10 loads of laundry
oh yeah and i am DONE with school for the semester
the big question now is can i possible make it through next semester....
classes start jan 20, i am due feb 14 so that means what? let those who have math skills help me with this one
the tree decorating was fun sadie grabbed everything stated it was a ball and promptly threw it to the ground....
good thing we did not put our special antique glass ornaments this year
we did not make it to see the elmo constellation
bad mommy had to take a nap
which i have to say for not having a day off really since sadie's birth i don't feel all that guilty taking an early morning nap
so now what are we doing getting ready for x-mas and omen #2 arrivals
what do we need to do for #2
nothing really except get a new used car one that has at least 4 doors
oh and find room among ALL of sadie's toys and clothes for #2's clothes and toys
well nothing much and nothing exciting at this point in time
enjoy the video of sadie walking in daddies shoes....lets hope she doe snot do this literally (especially during the punk rock duct tape phase though i have to say i would be a proud mom watching my little girl get pulled off the stage by police)
