Something I never thought I’d see:
Joseph (the biblical one) cruising around with a Hispanic bus driver, an African American youth, and Baby Jesus.

To Whom it May Concern
All right, which one of you lovlies sent me this little piece of heaven in the mail today?
(piece missing? what piece missing?)
It’s not every day you come home exhausted from running errands with your kiddos to find a CHEESECAKE waiting for you on your doorstep!
Please, reveal yourself and receive my… undying love? everlasting gratitude? a “thank you” haiku perhaps?
And thank you, thank you, for making my night, day, week!
xoxo

Christmas at Our House Day 5
I got this little cutie back when we lived in Seattle
(Did everyone here know that we lived in Seattle? We did. In fact it is where Joseph was conceived)
(IMMACULATELY, Dad, IMMACULATELY)
Today Joseph said, “We are on the last road until Christmas!!”
Also every day he begs, begs, begs me to move it to the 25…
Visiting Santa 2010
Brian has been working some later hours lately which means that
a) Un-showered ponytails and granny panties are a go
and
b) I have to find something to do during the day.
.
Lucky for me (and unlucky for Brian) we live close to many many malls.
On Friday, we were trying out a new mall, when Lo and Behold, the big man himself was there! We jumped into line.
.
Some things that happened next:
- Joseph got out of line and stood directly in the path of (lots of!) holiday shoppers trying to walk past. I noticed some people doing double takes, so I leaned out of line to see what he was doing. He was squinting up his eyes while barring his teeth like a dog. Of course.
- Even though there were only 4 people ahead of us in line, we didn’t seem to be moving.
- I had to pee.
- Joseph started laying (lying?) on the mall floor.
- An old lady standing nearby started giving Joseph the stink eye.
- The girl behind us started wailing and flopping around like a fish-so I eagerly looked back at the old lady to see if she had noticed, only to see that she was STILL glaring at my sweet babe.
-Okay, okay, so maybe I forgot to mention that Joseph was LICKING the mall floor at this point.
-Isaac started crying.
- Joseph came over and said that he was going to ask Santa for an Olivia Dress-up Doll.
(WHAT??)
-I gently reminded him that he actually wanted a Batcave (which has been sitting in my closet for months). And, thankfully, he agreed.
- He bit Isaac on the ear.
ANNNNND.. then it was our turn!
.
So, here you go folks, my boys on Christmas 2010:
Clearly, Isaac + Santa = BFF.
Also, what’s cuter than Isaac? Isaac in a REINDEER SWEATSHIRT of course!
(Yes, I do wish Joseph was wearing something other than his ratty post-gym-class clothes, but at least he wasn’t licking the floor anymore.)
When I asked Joseph later why he had his face like that, he said, “I just wanted to give Santa a little smile with my lip.”
And that he did.
