Family Night

So, our family night yesterday was all about getting ready for Christmas.  And guess what.  The kids were so excited about going and getting a Christmas tree that they were really bad at listening to me ALL DAY LONG.  All I can say is, maybe I let it be a surprise next time.  But our tree is up, it's decorated, half the house is decorated... but we need lights up now.  Any volunteers?  At least we got all the leaves up off our grass before we put up our Christmas tree.  You should be proud of us.  That is quite an achievement.

And some things that I don't want to forget:

Ada uses her fingers all the time.  They are imaginary people that run all over you and jump off furniture. 

Sammy has decided that he is officially a boy and has started kicking things and throwing them... just cause.  If you ask him why he says, "Because."  And he's peed in the potty 3 times at this point, but I'm not going to push it... I'm not ready to potty train for at least another month... hope his interest holds!

Evelyn LOVES to touch everything.  If it's in front of her, she'll touch it.  Her current favorites are a toy bus at my parents house and a piano/xylophone toy at ours.  Her other eternal passion is jumping... She LOVES being in a bouncer.  She'll go for about 1 1/2 just jumping away... but then she's exhausted and just wants to sleep... but it's cute.  Today in the tub, she figured out that if she scooted her butt a little bit she would slide forward because the tub is slippery.... so she'd scoot her way over to a toy and try to grab it... it would float off and she would scoot off again.  And she has 2 teeth.
