{one of norah's first "people" :)}
{check that runny nose, courtesy of the colds that have been through us all at least two times this fall}
i am much more apt to post on this thing if i remind myself that my posts don't have to be elaborate or fancy. so that's exactly what this is not: elaborate or fancy. here are ten random things about lately...
1. we are plugging along with preschool. if anything has been gained it is norah's social skills. it is so fun to watch her use her imagination with her little friends.
2. we have been enjoying our Truth in the Tinsel advent experience this month. it's simple: a daily scripture relating to the Christmas story and an ornament craft.
3. i don't know how this happened, but Christmas is less than ten days away (whaaa). my good intentions of making handmade gifts this year have once again disintegrated. i am convinced that amazon can read my mind and i think i am ok with that.
4. joe takes the bus to work almost everyday. he works in tyson's corner which is a 20 minute drive without trafffic. on some mornings, it can take over an hour to make it there (dc traffic is horrid, really). he opts to take the bus so he can relax and make it to work in 20 minutes (the bus pretty much has its own highway).
5. most days i feel like i am a referee around here, but then there are those moments when they snuggle on the couch and watch curious george together. i melt.
6. i so want these glasses. unfortunately, i have already spent my Christmas money. santa? are you out there?
7. we are going to the temple to see the Christmas lights with friends tonight. a perfectly free date night, if you ask me.
8. my brother got a little rottweiler puppy and i cannot wait to see ivan get his little pudgy hands on the thing. ok so his pudgy little hands on anything is the. cutest. thing. ever.
9. anyone have any magic tricks to get a 3 year old to take a nap? help.
10. NYC this Christmas. 'nuff said!
