Girls crashed on the couch, after “not sleeping at all!”
We got the sit & spin out of the basement for a two-year-old who attended—she had no interested in it, but the Potato (seen here dressed as the Boy in Black) found hours of entertainment in whirling it around.
1. Despite the fact that it sometimes hits me personally, I love the fact that she is one. tough. girl.
2. Her enormous vocabulary
3. And wonderful sense of humor
4. Her agility, both in running and in thinking
5. The lovely, high arch of her foot
6. Like me, she’s an inveterate reader, and will spend many hours alone in her room, devouring a good book
7. Her lively interest in what makes the world go ’round
8. How she has finally learned to ask for what she needs, at least sometimes
9. The fact that she’s just as likely to pick up a sword as she is to pick up a stuffed animal to play with
10. Her ability to walk in some of my highest heels, even if it’s just around the house (and OMG, she’s too close to fitting into them for realz!)
1. The little sprinkle of freckles on his nose
2. His wide, wide smile
3. The way he wants us to pose math problems to him at every possible opportunity
4. His sweet & generous nature
5. When I come home from work, he runs up to me yelling, “Mommy!” and gives me a big hug
6. His ability to sleep through being taken to the bathroom in the middle in the night
7. How he tells me, “I am not your Potato anymore!” when he’s mad at me
8. His nearly endless energy
9. The fact that, at five and a half, he’s better at talking about his feelings than everyone else in our family combined
10. He knows that it’s okay for boys to wear pink, and does wear his pink shirt, even after some boys at school told him he shouldn’t do that.
Not the world’s clearest picture, but that is a spelling bee.
She didn’t win for the whole school–but she did take first place in the fourth grade!
This year, the Potato was the Bumblebee for Halloween. I couldn’t convince the Bee to go as a Sweet Potato, though.
Potato: What does it say on the bottom of my socks, Mom?
LM: Old Navy.
Potato: Old Lady!?!~?!!
(cue sound of adults laughing)
I just realized that I never posted my annual holiday photos. So consider this your early New Year’s present! Have a wonderful evening, and I’ll be back in the New Year.
Too much, evidently. Hermione and her pirate friend have collected buckets and buckets of chocolate and other sugary treats.
We ended the night at my brother’s house, and the kids played with their cousin and ate pizza. What better ending to a Wednesday night is there?
