So Much To Do, So little time to blog about it.

Well, I haven't been THAT busy but I have been slacking on the chain activities as of late. Let see, we forgot to read a book, we didn't make paper stars (because I was kind of lazy and didn't want to get the paper) and yesterday, we didn't bake anything. This last activity didn't happen because Mikayla was at a friend's house all afternoon and then dinner needed to be done so I decided not to make cookies. Oh, and I was dealing with her "after-friends" attitude all afternoon as well. It's a little hard to have fun when dealing with a girl who'd rather be with friends than family. That's for a whole other blog entry.

My finger is healing pretty nicely. It still hurts and pulls a lot but I thought I'd include a photo (at the end of the entry, for those of you with a hankering to see stitches.

I had to include a shot of Lynnea using a fork. This is a rare sight since it's more work for me to clean up after she uses it than when she just uses her hands. Am I stunting her growth to say that I don't let her use utensils? Is that so wrong?We also attended Hannah and Lauren's birthday party this weekend. It was a fun day filled with snowmen of all shapes and sizes. Mikayla's marshmallow snowman disappeared mysteriously before we even took it home (many tears were shed over this catastrophe) and we were lovingly given parts for a replacement snowman a few days later (thanks Rebekah!). Tyler enjoys the frosting part of the cookie and they loved hanging out with their friends.Will and I also went to a Christmas party for our adult fellowship from church. It was so much fun hanging out with our dear friends while our parents watched the kids so graciously. We feasted on tacos, quesadillas and yummy punch. We also got a picture of the 2 of us which only comes around once in a blue moon. If you look closely, you can see Will's hair...it kind of blends in and it is the shortest it's been in a while.
Oh, and we also actually completed a chain activity this afternoon. "Eat a popsicle while pretending to be in snow" was successful. Yay mom!!Oh, and here's that picture. Scroll no more if you're queasy with stitches.
