We've been fairly busy doing Christmasy stuff...like swimming lessons...(ok, so that one isn't so Christmasy)....and using my washing machine to cause minor flooding in the basement (note to self: if your washing machine drains into a century-old cement sink, make sure that workmen don't throw their old gloves into that sink, causing it to clog and overflow the first time you do any serious laundry.)...and sewing flannel pj pants (four down!).
Really, I am having a bit of a holiday panic. I need to stop sewing for my kids (which I can do on Christmas Eve, right?) and start mailing packages (which I can't do on Christmas Eve!)
We made gingerbread houses. It was demanded by children.
James (completely blocked by Cozy) was my most intent builder...I guess 'cause it's like legos you can eat...
Jon, trying to look like something scary that's about to eat the inhabitants of his house.
Anthony horded all of the gumdrop trees, so that he could have a forest on his roof.
Sofi had a house built of magic and candy sprinkles.
Annika, dressed as a Kioshi Warrior...or a Korean princesss (by Sofi?), building her little cottage.
A good time was had by all - especially Coze, who thinks houses are delicious. I was finding gumdrops, nerds and sprinkles for days.
Yumm! I didn't know Anthony was so green. Or does he just miss the trees? Either way, I think I might learn from you and forget about using nerds.
