Who's idea was this anyway?

Look what Santa brought!!

johnny jumpup

We tried the Johnny jumpup today for the first time...she loved it...except she hasn't figured out how to pull her arms out of the seat...they slpi down and get pinned to her side and then all she can do is chew on the edge of the seat....

Christmas Carols, Audrey style

ok, I couldn't resist sneaking up on Audrey...
yes she is watching herself in the reflection of the tv screen

Funny things the kids have been saying...

Audrey climbed onto my bed this morning scowling after Lili had left for school and I was nursing Kateri. She had come give me a list of grievances.
"First, you and Daddy say I can't wake up Nanny. Next, say I can't watch cartoons. Three, you not let me play 'puter games every day" She frowned and put her hands on her hips "That's why!"
"Why what?" I asked
"Why I want to do what I want to do!"

Lili was telling me about how next year she gets to have Mrs. Hundelt teach her religion again. "And then," she said "I get to return to my classroom of old!"

Kateri smiling

At Nanny's request, here's a video of Kateri...sorry it is a little shaky at the beginning...Lili was the cameraman.

At Least She's Honest

Kateri was sleeping peacefully in her swing when I left the room. A few minutes later I heard her fussing and came in to find Audrey standing over her smiling.
"Why is the baby crying, Audrey?"
"Because I kiss her too hard"
"Where did you kiss her?"
"Everywhere!"
Still smiling, she went to her self-imposed punishment in her room

During a conversation yesterday about why she was having a hard time listening she said, "I only want to be good sometimes, the other times I going to be funny and naughty."

Kateri is getting fat

She looks like Lili did as a baby when she's being serious...and when she smiles she looks like Jabba the Hutt.
