Underwear at the Library

So Thursday is story time at the library. Each week they do a new letter theme and this week's letter is "u". The chick that reads (who i will lovingly refer to as reading chick or RC) picked up a book that had underwear in the title and this is what unfolded....

RC: blah blah blah Underwear by so and so
Hannah: my daddy wears underwear. he doesn't sleep in underwear though.
RC: oh...well....ok

The other moms all found it quite funny. Thankfully it was a small group today but we see these people EVERY week. I stepped outside to call Aaron to tell him thinking he'd be a little miffed but i dont' think i've heard him laugh that hard in quite some time. I was crying i was laughing so hard. I told aaron he now has a "get out of story time free" pass. Oh and just so ya'll don't think my husband struts around naked in front of my kiddos, Aaron sleeps in those mesh-like basketball shorts.

I think we may have a problem...

A "we own way too many bows" problem! haha This isn't even all of them and there are TONS more I'd love to buy. I had started a new bow hanger for Hannah right after we moved (in July...oops!) and decided to finish assembling it today. I guess I should have taken a "before" picture because once the bows were added the cuteness of the hanger sort of got lost in all the bows. Hannah was very excited to have a pretty place for her bows again. (they had been hanging on a single ribbon in her closet)

long time no blog..

We've been busy recovering from the holidays, schooling and entertaining company so the blog has been neglected just a bit.

Aidan finally agreed to get his hair cut this past weekend so my little shaggy guy now looks like a totally different kiddo. Now Hannah has decided that cutting her hair off is a good idea too. :( I've been trying to convince Aaron that we should cut it and donate her hair to Locks of Love but he's having a hard time letting go. Now that SHE is asking Mommy is having a hard time letting go.


We had a little scare with the baby last week as I thought Hannah may have contracted Fifth Disease (harmless to her, potentially deadly to an unborn child). Blood work revealed that I am immune (PRAISE THE LORD) and we were very relieved to hear that! Only 3 more weeks until we know if we're adding a brother or a sister to our family!


Here are some new pictures of the kids and one of their latest preschooling projects!

Taking a break to smile for mommy!

He loves to doodle!

We finally finished last week's Four Seasons crafts!

Hannah & Aidan say thank you!

Instead of trying to keep their attention to write out individual thank you notes, I thought I'd have Hannah and Aidan help me create virtual ones! They each typed out the message and chose the colors and shapes. I hope everyone who blessed our family this Christmas knows how deeply grateful we are!

Whew!

I keep putting off my post-Christmas blog post but figured I should do it before any more time passes. We had a fun visit to Atlanta (Texas) for Christmas with my family and my sister's graduation. Being gone for a week and 6 hours of driving each way wore this mama out but I am thankful we could make the trip. The kids and I arrived home just in time to prep the house for the arrival of Aaron's side of the family. We were so blessed to have them (including Aaron's 90 & 91 year old grandparents) here to celebrate the birth of Jesus with us. It was a little crazy in our little house but I'm glad they were all able to be here. The kids were spoiled with more toys than I thought their room could hold but somehow we managed to squeeze it all in. It helped a ton that we did our annual toy purge & donation before Christmas.

May God bless richly bless you in 2010!!!

More Christmas pics to come soon!
