what x-mas means to......

silas thinks the ornaments on the tree are for nursing
sadie thinks about all the presents she will give
"daddy is getting the color black"
"sadie is getting the color orange"
"mimi is getting the color green"
what color do you think sadie will get you?
meow meow thinks the ornaments are for her exclusively to play with
and babe thinks the tree is for her to watch meow meow entertain herself with
so by now you can guess we got a tree
a very very little tree so that we can buy big presents to finish filling out the small amount of space in our house that is not already covered with toys
if you are still trying to come up with a gift idea....
sadie can always use toothbrushes and silas likes everything sadie has.....
so
turkey day was relaxing
i got two naps in which was necessary since someone (i will not point fingers) decided it was a good idea to wake up at 4:00 am
this nameless someone has decided to wake up early many mornings so that he may crawl and tell stories
as much as i love to hear a good story i am typically not up for kicking it back at 4 am but so it goes
three more weeks of school and i am done for the semester
the light at the end of this tunnel is so so bright i actually am blinded by the idea of being done that i am not doing much for class
as long as i get a C i will be okay
so far in my masters degree career i have only gotten one B+ everything else has been an A so.....
enjoy the days
i actually saw a snow flake so it is happening it is official winter is here

turkey time

oh yes it is almost that time to sit down and eat and eat and eat
for me i am thinkin' a day off to maybe nap than eat than nap
either and or any way works
so the odd thing is lots of things have been going on and we have been doing lots of things but

• i can not remember most of what we do but i know we did something because i am tired
• none of it is all that interesting so do you really want pictures of me doing laundry?

so this week you get movies (if i can figure out what blogspot did with the video you will get videos)
no stories really
silas is crawling lots! which is causing sadie to hoard her toys and declare "mine" than she starts laughing when baby starts crawling really really fast to follow her and her toys
we have had lots and lots of conversations about sharing but technically the concept is tooooo abstract that supposedly kids don't get it till they are 7

lucky for us we have 5 more years of this
turkey day this year is going to be quiet and mellow with all the going ons, which basically is school, work and life it will be nice to have a quiet day together
this weekend we may try and get a tree
not sure if we will go hunting for a tree this year or not right now it is hard to imagine that since it is like 60 degrees out but.....(the thing that amazes me is there are people who do not believe in global warming)
enjoy the movies and the few pictures i have taken
enjoy my answer to plumbing and yes please enjoy your turkey this year

"mommy you are christmas"

lately aaron and i have been amused at sadie's comments
sadie what do you want for christmas
"pillows and the color green"
every night she sings herself to sleep
the songs usually go like this
"i bumped my head, i love daddy, i played with declan, go to the doctor, i love daddy, babe, baby, i read to much books"
and every morning she wakes up with a similar song
"i read to much books and play i love daddy"
baby usually wakes sadie up every morning with a big wet kiss i put him in bed with her and and she hugs and hugs and tells me how much she loves baby
baby is starting to realize his name is silas and not baby
anyway.......
baby silas is crawling forward!!!!
most of his motivation is either for food or me
he is pulling himself up in the crib and loves to stand
he locks his knees when you pick him up because he will not sit unless he falls from standing
he is saying "ma mamama ma" and "da da da da"
his favorite saying though is "na na na na"
he did say "moo" for cow the other day which delighted sadie to no end
he is also clapping his hands
so aside from the fact that number 2 is now becoming mobile we have been hanging low getting ready for x-mas
do not tell sadie but she totalyl scored
yes we got presents already

• sadie and silas - got a train set
• sadie - a doll house
• silas - a light up stacking game

if you want x-mas ideas for sadie and silas here it is
(we are not opposed to second hand items at all)

• sadie loves clothes!!!! she is a size 3t top and 2t bottom
• sadie- jammies
• silas also love clothes but he only needs jammies he is in 12 month
• sadie is totally into dora or super why
• silas likes to sort things and loves textures - he asked for a pony but i don't think babe would like that
• silas would love some big cars to roll around on the floor
• aaron and becky LOVED the movie land of the lost with will ferrell

okay that is all for now
hope everyone is doing well sending our love
soon it will be turkey day
yipppppeeee! another day off i do love this time of year
it is all about food and days off
