Highlights from the month of December so far:
We had a lovely time at the annual Sights and Sounds of Christmas event. Graham's favorite booth was ice skating -- the children scooted around on linoleum sprayed generously with Pam.
Meanwhile, Dean had a nice time mingling with the reindeer.
They both loved the jiggle bug train, petting the camel in "Bethlehem," and the carousel.
Zach and Dean at the Mother's Day Out Christmas pageant.
Graham still hasn't actually sung in one of these productions, though his antics are often amusing. I may have to reevaluate my predictions of him being the singer/songwriter in the Thomas boys' band...
Graham finished up his soccer season. Go Boas! Maybe next year he'll score a goal.
Of course, my month was remarkable largely for coming down with shingles, followed by a really brutal cold. Today was the first day in almost two weeks that I woke up feeling pretty normal. I celebrated by taking the boys to Going Bananas, an "indoor playnasium." They have toys, slides, and many inflatable jumping/climbing things set up. It totally wore us out, but we had a blast.
Because of the shingles, I had to quarantine Dean all week waiting to see if he would come down with chicken pox, as he has not yet been vaccinated against it. He did not, and I admit I am miffed. If I had to deal with a whole week of stir-crazy children, we should at least have saved ourselves a shot! Bah humbug. Anyway, it was good to finally leave the house.
Today I also finished assembling their new teeter totter. They love it (and will probably love it more when Dean's a wee bit bigger.) Out of state readers should note how Graham's not wearing pants. It was 80 freaking degrees today.
I highly recommend this thing. It was simple to assemble, it's cute, and it's a friendly size for small children and small yards. Also cheap! I found it for $30 on eToys with free shipping. I loves me a bargain!
I see that I must be more regular in my posting habits if I'm going to be posting videos on here. A resolution for the new year, perhaps?
