Multitasking

Today we were multitasking. The little guys made a mess of their hands and faces colouring with markers so we washed babies and dishes at the same time.

Laundry is Fun :P

The other morning Troy and I heard the girls giggling like crazy.  We went to see what was so funny and found Gibby had climbed into the washing machine and was rocking the barrel back and forth - having a great little ride.  My sisters and I used to take turns filling our mom's dryer with pillows and going for rides... probably not something mom would appreciate, but it was great fun back then! Gibby's antics brought me back... but we do keep the door to the washer shut now ;)

You Guessed It - More Christmas Fun!

We started a tradition last year of opening up a Christmas book every night in December.  Sort of an advent calendar deal.  I borrow the books from our library and wrap them all up.  That way they get new books each year and it costs me nothing but the left-over wrapping paper from last year! 

Griffin had his preschool Christmas concert last night. I don't know what it is about watching a bunch of 3-5 year olds sing jingle bells, but I get a lump in my throat every time! I was so proud of my Griff - singing his little heart out up there.  And the babies seemed to enjoy it too. It may have been the first outing that I felt was actually somewhat under control. I wasn't sweating by the end anyway. Hmmmm... dare I say, maybe things are getting slightly easier??  No, no, I better not!

Here's a shot of everyone all dressed up and ready to go!

And because I didn't realize Fletcher's giant head was blocking Griff, here's a shot of my handsome little preschooler.

Fletcher tends to be shy in large crowds, but it was all worth it when he realized there were cookies after!

Sunny - my little miss independent.  Marched right up to Santa and was going to climb into his lap when I caught her cutting in front of a 50-kid-line-up!

I don't know why I don't have a shot of gibby on the camera! She stood right beside me through the whole concert and bobbed her head along.  She loved all the kids and music.
