secret santa

Early one morning, a "Secret Santa" stopped by our porch and dropped off some Dunkin' Donuts. I'm sure that most people reading this blog have a good idea who that was!!

When I told Seth that Papa had brought us some donuts, he immediately said, "We need to tell Papa thank you." So, of course, we called Papa to say thanks!!

event of the day

I was talking to Heather today, and I told her I was considering posting an event of the day. It seems that everyday something happens around hear that makes me want to cry, but would probably make others (especially those of you without little ones) laugh.

SUNDAY:

The day is done, the kids are in bed, and I'm ready to start getting ready for bed. As I'm leaving Seth's bedroom, I look into his bathroom to find an ENTIRE roll of toilet paper unrolled and piled up. So, now my new toilet paper holder is a Wal-mart shopping bag!

MONDAY:

I chose Monday as my day to begin a new project: resorting all of the outgrown and to-be-grown-into clothes. Needless to say, any project is dangerous with an almost 2 and a 3 year-old. Several times they get "too quiet" and I go to find them doing something and make them come back to the disaster of a living room. The final time, I walk into my bedroom to find them both standing in front of the full length mirror. Seth has a hair brush and a pair of scissors in his hands. Yes! Leah now has her first haircut and oddly enough it looks really cute.

TUESDAY:

Leah and Seth are playing very nicely together and I'm folding laundry in the living room. Recently, Leah has been obsessed with climbing and her new Mt. Everest is to climb up the back of the dining room chairs. I am 11 articles of clothing into my Mt. Everest and I hear her start crying, but she looks fine enough and is heading my way. She gets in my lap and I hold her a minute only to discover that her toe is dripping blood. Somehow she has managed to pull off her little toenail (poor Ladybug). So I bandage her up and then find that every step she has taken has left a little tiny blood spot on the carpet.

See what I mean? I look forward to finding what tomorrow holds for this little family!!
