Not a creature is stirring......

Chris and I are busy getting ready for Santa. This year we opted for the artificial tree and just set it up tonight after we put the little elf’s to bed. We thought any earlier would have been just torture trying to keep them away from it. It's nothing fancy but does the trick. There are not many ornaments and what is there can be licked, bounced on the floor and lost forever in a toy bin. We will not be able to have the nice stuff out for many years! 

We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

So November has gone by in a flash. Geesh! We had a great Thanksgiving, very low key. I actually cooked this year! The boys are great. They are getting more teeth, which makes for not sleeping very well and cranky days, that is Matthew attached to my leg whining, but for the most part all good. They are weighing in at 24 lbs - Nicholas and 26 lbs Matthew; as far as their height, it is almost impossible to get this as they are squirming around a whole bunch, but around 31-32 inches. Nicholas has about an inch on Matthew. They got an overall great check-up. Our days are spent stacking blocks, driving trucks, chasing the dog and just general trashing of the house. Chris and I have the pleasure of cleaning up the mess at the end of the day, or as Chris likes to call it "baby shrapnel". I have started to sing that silly clean up song and pick things up hoping they will get the hint but they just follow around behind me taking all the stuff apart again. We are looking forward to the paper flying this Christmas as the boys love to open things and see what treasure is inside.
