the quiet before christmas. ha

 i found this interesting as i shopped for groceries last thurs night. alone.  grocery shopping ALONE= divine.  i cherish the opportunity. ha....one world halal meat anyone?

last fri ellie was talking about how frogs eat bugs with their tongues. then she says "here ill show you, ill draw you a diagram"  and she's totally an eigenheer!

today while failing to exchange nana's scarf at the store joey ran to a rack of sunglasses where she puts them on (upside down) and says "im awesome. im awesome" ha

 making art on a cold afternoon in the sun

 together making art. so cold out!

 ellie took a little nap with daddy on friday waiting for nana and papa to arrive to start our christmas

 chris then opens his eyes and says "i have to pee"  ive been there, so many times....how long can i hold it cause when i get up the kid will wake up! haha

 i got my new planner the other day.  i thought id blog my old one.  about 2.5 yrs ago i started to keep a quick journal. i record everything.  at first it was to help me be more "analytical"  and see if i can find a pattern to certain triggers.  like stress, sleeplessness, cranky, hormonal etc...i color code most everything and after about 6 months i could see a pattern!  then i started adding other things and doing a quick daily log...i love it. it takes me about 2 mins to do at night and has helped me out so much.  ESP when chris says "we never have "us" time"  wink, wink...oh really?  out comes the planner and i show him!  ha!  anyways, i got a new planner for this yr and im excited to see what patterns i can find!...i blocked 1/2 the page were i wrote stuff out, thats a bit too personal for the blog. ha

 this is joeys sleeping position.  such a life little one
