A countdown doesn't quite have the same effect when you start at 2, huh? Oh well.

The H1N1 Rosies

"Ring around the rosies, pockets full of posies. RASHES, RASHES we call fall down"~ Leia

Gaius Logic Alternately titled: I should've taken it as a sign when I would find him stripped down in his crib at the age of 8 months.

"Come on Gaius it's time to get dressed"

"uh. I have underwear on"

"Yes you do. But you need to wear more than underwear."

"AW!!!!"

Mama Files: The January Itch.

I think a trip to Joann's is in store this weekend (that is if it will stop snowing for a minute). I have some projects I'm dying to tackle!

The end.

Pardon Me!

****Please bear with me while I explain something (trust me the conversation at the end of this will be worth a chuckle or 2). At our house we call farting "tooting". I'm not exactly sure why I started this. There just seems to be something disheartening about explaining to a 2 year old what a fart is called (you can blame my mother! She still won't say the word). So tonight at dinner this was one of the conversations we had.

Xav- "Mom, how much is college?"

me- "a lot"

Xav- "can you do homeschool for college?"

me -"yeah*, but you still have to pay money" *online courses

Xav- "well I hope that includes a tudor."

Leia- "I hate tooters"

Just another day with the Gingerbread Kids!

Tuesday's Tidbits

*snow, snow, and more SNOW!!!! Over the past 4 days we've gotten more than 3 feet (why do we live in NY again?)

*here comes the "homeschooling long haul". No real vacations in sight for a very long time.

* I swear Gaius grew a couple inches over Christmas break. AND he recognizes G's as being in his name.

*my van has been broken down for a month and 6 days while. But is going to be fixed this week!!!!

*Leia is still a lover of all things shoes

*We've been watching through the first 2 seasons of Full House, and now my kids go around the house saying "Have Mercy!"- which I'm not sure I like, considering Uncle Jesse always says this after kissing various women.

*IT IS COLD OUTSIDE!

*we are now the proud owners of an Easy Bake Oven....and Moon Sand (Grandma was NOT nice to Mommy this year)

*the Jets are going to the play-offs! All is well here at the Gingerbread house!

Here We Go Again...

And there's no sign of it stopping for DAYS.
