I recently attended a small extended family party.  I was told by a number of people that they really enjoyed my writing, and were quite disappointed that I had stopped updating the blog regularly.  SHOCKER to me.  I really was thinking that my mother was my only follower.  (No offense mom- but I can just call you.)

So I come now with a semi-renewed effort to keep posting on my blog.  I only say semi-renewed because it is Christmas/holiday season, and I am sure I am going to be kept pretty busy.  

So the boy is now 8.  He has started cub scouts.  A few days ago at the pack meeting they had cookies at the end.  I saw that the smaller boy had picked a cookie that was no longer available.  I told him, "Oh, man that was the one I wanted," (remember he is 4). He replies to me, "Well I actually got two of them so I could give you one, but I just couldn't do it, sorry.  They were just too tasty!"  This kid cracks me up!

Speaking of smaller boy- he has a broken foot.  Poor kid.  I'm actually surprised this hasn't happened sooner to any one of my children.  They all play very hard and are wild kids.  He happened to fall off my queen sized bed and landed just right to crush his bone.  It is right next to a growth plate, so we are just crossing our fingers at this point that he won't need surgery.  He is in a cast, and will be X-rayed again soon to find out. 

The girl is adamant about getting a REAL puppy for Christmas (not going to happen).  And we cannot keep clothing and/or diapers on the smallest boy.  Yes his birthday suit has been his favorite outfit as of late.  I can't believe it with how cold it has been, but if I even try to clothe him they are off as soon as I turn my head.

So there is the briefest of updates for you about our family.  We are all excited about the holidays. I hope to post again soon. Until then...

Peace out,

and enjoy the pictures

                                               The boy is getting so old. He recently turned 8.

                      The girl chopped her hair and donated it. I guess I need to get a pic of the new do now.
