• 11:18 This morning's family jump rope competition was temporarily halted by jumping-induced-incontinence and too-loose shorts.
• 11:20 It's hard to jump with your shorts around your ankles. But it DOES produce massive fits of giggling in little boys, let me tell you...
• 11:21 By the way, I beat Aaron by four jumps. Booyah!

• 14:29 Remember that bowl of pasta that he called "yucky" and threw across the room? Yeah. Now he's crying because I threw it away. Sheesh.
  
• 14:31 Me and the boys...we need a vacation!
• 16:55 HY just asked me what happens to the gluten in dough when it is heated. ...I'm speechless (and in love!) My children are brilliant!
• 17:00 Is there anything a common gal like I can do for Haiti? What do you think?
• 17:18 Got tired of standing outside. So I moved all the furniture and let them ride bikes inside. What a great idea!

• 08:58 More evidence that FHE is really making a difference: (EZ, with conviction) "Jesus loves...pizza and breadsticks!" #
• 11:43 Oatmeal from the garbage smeared on face and floor, a whole cup of milk on the carpet, pen on the wall. ASH has gone to the dark side. Sigh. #
• 11:44 Now what is that smell? And where is EZ? #
• 18:32 Made dinner that kids won't really go for and Aaron just called saying he won't be home. What to do with all this food and no will-power? #

• 12:31 Entering negotiations today with EZ regarding potty training. #
• 14:47 Potty negotiations going well. Had a slight hiccup when EZ demanded the potty be perched atop my cedar chest. #
• 20:18 Nothing says "family togetherness" like boogie-ing to 94.5 The Vibe. Post-FHE freakin, doing "the eagle" and general white-man dancing. Fun. #

Fresh New Up-do

Aaron asked me, the other day, if I was going to change the title of my blog.

"But it has been that title for years...I don't think that it really affects me..." I replied.

But, hey, looking back on the previous year, things have changed. I can't say that I like eating any less, but it is just not the elephant in the room anymore.

So, out with the old and on with the, well, better!

Oh, and Aaron, thanks! You are everything.

Give Me Gingerbread, Or Give Me Death

Really I should be working on the Christmas feast right now, or working on the ghastly toilets (for the guest's sake!). But instead, we are taking pictures and blogging. I don't think that the excitement level in our home can get much higher today. How fun is Christmas with little children in the house? All I know is that I could burn in Hell for all the lies I've been spinning lately about flying reindeer, elves, and the like. Either way, whoa! I am excited.

Merry Christmas!

• 09:57 Already calendaring June and July. It is already mostly booked. What is happening to my life??? #

• 08:34 Excited today to hear news on the impending birth of my new niece today. Happy Birthday Little One!!! #
• 14:58 Yum. Gingerbread. #
• 18:04 Green eggs (no ham) for dinner. The idea was genius. #

• 09:41 Watching Aaron patiently allow the boys to "help" him in bleeding the brakes. Seriously impressed. I would have booted them all by now. #
• 09:42 There's nothing I love more than a refrigerator stocked with a beautiful array of fresh fruits and vegetables. Really, it is gorgeous!!! #

• 15:09 Feel absolutely paralyzed by so much to do. Just really want to eat chocolate instead. #

They Get So Big, So Fast

Baby boy, you are simply delicious right now. Please don't turn two anytime soon...

• 22:03 Staying up waaaaay too late. Go to bed! #
• 22:18 And eating too much... #

• 12:03 80 what? Where is cold, crisp November? We practically melted at the Veteran's Day parade today. #
• 12:05 And yet another sign that we are getting very, very old: Aaron and I both choked up at seeing the flag and veterans walking in the parade. #
• 12:06 What is next? Lawrence Welk? #

• 08:25 TGIF!!! Hooray! #
• 13:53 Going shopping!!! #

• 15:27 What a gorgeous day! Apparently putting those summer clothes into storage was a bit hasty. #

• 20:58 It must be late. I am toggling websites about cloth diapering and feeling very much convinced. Should I do it? #
• 20:59 p.s. thanks to all for the recommendation about don'tjudgemyhair.com. Laughing out loud right now. #

• 06:01 November already? #
• 06:02 The delight of daylight savings time is no longer when you have children. They now just wake at 5:30 a.m. instead of 6:30 a.m. #
