monday, monday

Today inventory was taken on how things are coming for our holiday gift baskets. I'm feeling like we're in pretty good shape. :)

And we checked in with Tucker the mouse and Chester the cricket, and how things are coming along in Times Square.

We had some telephone and sound experimenting. (Again. I'm telling you , they love this!)

And guitar play.

And started making plans for sledding.

And took two hours to get ready to go sledding. :)
Sometimes all of that is fun. Twenty-five layers of scarves, thermals, shirts, six pair of gloves each for the babies, double layers of socks, homemade hot cocoa..... yeah, sometimes it's a good thing.

There wasn't a lot of snow on the ground, but no matter. It was soooo frozen
and cold
and frosty...
and we played
and discovered


just fine.

There was cocoa
and lots of truths about Physics




and a picnic
and a snowball fight


and running
and playing

and quiet

and still



and screeching

and wahooing
and rest




and loving.



Lots and lots of loving.

Home to a toasty house,
Christmas lights,
and a warm bath.

Candycanes have been hung.

Games are waiting to be played and favorite holly-day shows are waiting to be watched.

Life is so,
so good.

An' prob'ly we'll see you tomorrow.
