UPDATES

Yes, it's been about three months since I've updated... I'm just so hooked on Facebook that I have very little time for other things... anyway, here's a few updates.

1- I read this in the paper today: "Leave the Kids at Home. Consumers accompanied by children bought 40% more items than consumers who were shopping by themselves. Children, bless their little hearts, tend to use a variety of techniques to coax their parents into buying more stuff." by Martin Lindstrom.

My thoughts (after laughing out loud): Duh... no, really? But, not in this household! Never... ha ha ha.

2- Jingle Bell Run: Yes, friends, I am "running" in the Seattle Jingle Bell Run. I have been "training"- if you care to call it that, and actually feel pretty good (although, I can barely walk at the present moment)! Check back with me in two weeks, after the event and wish me luck.

3- Leah had her 4th Birthday: Yes, it was great and yes, I am in denial... I just can't believe she is 4. I really don't want to talk about it, but I will let you know that she is the funniest, silliest, cutest, sweetest, and most stubborn little girl I've ever known. Happy 4th B-Day Sweet Leah. Keep on being the best Little Le that you are.

4- And, NO, I don't want anymore! Very happy and in love with my two... and that's plenty. (Kim, Karen, and others with 2+ kids- I bow down to you.)

5- A and I put up our Chirstmas lights today... and put up light we did! It only took about half the day but... the results are spectacular. As Logan said, "Wow, this is awesome, you guys." And Leah, "Our house is REALLY, fancy now. Really, really, REALLY fancy."

And that's what it's all about. We also wrote letters to Santa, decorated paper Christmas trees, and made a Christmas Countdown chain!

6- K Update on Lo: As reported from his wonderful teacher at our parent-teacher conference: "First, he is the cutest thing ever! He is so fun, polite, and is such a great friend. (After these two comments, A and I are thinking, are you sure we're talking about the same Logan?) He can be a bit distracted but he responds so well to my focus cues. He has a real love for learning and is a whiz at science and math. He's coming along with reading and writing and could always benefit from reviewing his sight words and writing about small moments. He is thoughtful, kind, and has made a super adjustment to Kindergarten."

YEAH LOGAN! You are a STAR and we are so proud of you. Keep up the amazing work!! She also mentioned that he loves the girls and the girls love him!

That's it for now and I'm off to bed!
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays to All!!!
