- while walking, lil miss spied some bell ornaments. she called them “ring-a-bells.” “jingle bells,” the song, is also “ring-a-bell, ring-a-bell…”
- trying to get your own children to pose for a photograph is like asking a dog to make out with a cat.
- apparently there is a pile of glitter somewhere. bean’s head is covered in it.
- i am sporting bruises on my chin, arms, and shoulders. bean is auditioning for the new dyson vacuum cleaner role.
- breast pump flanges are multi-functional, per lil miss. they also function as cameras and stethoscopes. feel free to come over so she can take your picture or give you a physical.
- i gave lil miss her first haircut today, without a bowl. it’s astonishingly ok. the dude only shed a couple of tears.
- there is nothing better than holding 20 pounds of baby chub.
- unless, said baby chub is accompanied by a christmas cookie exchange.
- is it odd to clean before someone comes over to clean your house? because i totally am. and yes, i totally have someone coming over to clean my house tomorrow. between two sick kids, a sick dude, and me, well, it’s just not working out. white flag, dust bunnies. you play a mean game.
- i finished up that bulky cowl in an evening = win.
- i blocked that cowl to realize i had a dropped stitch = lose.
- thank God for christmas cookie consolation.
