Talking Christmas with My Toddler

Christmas seems to be everywhere. Locally it started at Walgreens and Wal-Mart before Halloween was over. Last week downtown was completely decorated. Snow may be on the way by Thanksgiving, and Thade is pretty sure that it is Christmas now.

We still have a little while before Christmas, and I know he is getting anxious. We sat down last week to talk about the upcoming holidays.  I asked him “what do you like about Christmas?” Thade quickly replied “snow, I love to walk on it, and listen to it crunch.” I thought how sweet, and then he said “and we are going to get a Playstation 3”. Snow maybe, Playstation 3 I don’t think so.

What are some of your favorite things about Christmas? Do you have any family traditions for the Holidays?

Dear Camera Please Talk to the Computer

I’m having a heck of a time getting pictures to load on to my laptop this morning. So camera please talk to the laptop and load already 😉

Last night went so much better. Dylan seems to be feeling pretty good, and yesterday he sat up all by himself without any assistance. He was pretty happy about that, and me too. I know any day now he will be up and crawling. Then again he will be up and crawling, and into EVERYTHING…

I’m feeling much better today too, the evil headache has left my noggin. I’ll be doing lots of cleaning up around the house today as Thade has turned every square inch of the downstairs into a toy box, and I’m sick of stepping on Lightning McQueen. As always the dishes and laundry need to be done too, and the trash needs taken out. Better grab another cup of coffee and get to it.

A Little Bit Accomplished

The day is drawing to a close, and I was ready to call it a day at noon. Both of the boys are still awake, so we are hanging out downstairs and watching cartoons. I ended up taking a second round of my migraine medicine, and it seemed to do the trick.

I did get a few things done around the house while Dylan took a long nap. I washed and folded three loads of laundry, but I didn’t get them put away. I changed everybody’s sheets, and stocked all of the diapers and pull-ups upstairs. I got a pretty good amount of the dishes washed tonight, and I got out of cooking too. James and Thade requested Pizza Hut, and with a giant headache, I couldn’t say no. We even have enough left-over for a super easy lunch tomorrow.

I hope to get the rest of the dishes and laundry finished tomorrow, but I always say that 😉
