November 2007

Well Thanksgiving is over and we are officially into the Christmas Season. I was pretty sad because our camera had "broke". It sat and sat so I ignored our webpage for most of November. Finally I did some research and found out the stupid camera just hated the batteries it had and needed to be reset. So I held the power button for a minute, with no batteries, no memory card.. then put new batteries it liked in and the card and voila, the darn thing started up. Sigh

Well, I took a ton of photos of the kids and Mike took some of me and the kids or should I say Whale Jennifer and the kids. I feel like a whale. Baby #3 is growing and just draining me. Nat is oblivious to it but Philip will talk about the baby in Mama's Tunky from time to time. He told me he had a baby in his tunky too. Uh huh. sure. He also requested that we have 6 babies- 3 boys and 3 girls and he told me this one was a girl. He's the only one voting girl so far. We all think boy.

It finally got cold here and I hate it. 40 degrees is not my idea of fun. The kids are all bundled up when we go to school in the morning. Nat tries to pull her hat over her eyes to get it off. I'm so glad I got it with a VELCRO chin strap.

Well Philip got a hold of some scissors and cut his own bangs. Some are supper short like a buzz cut and the rest is all jagged. I could have fixed it but I thought, nah I'll leave it so he can look silly. He told me he was trying to be a robot!! (what??????) What's funny is that I cleaned out my hairbrush and Philip saw the hair in the trash. "You cut your hair too Mama?" No. He asks the funniest questions at the funniest times. Sometimes Mike and I just look at each other with WHAT confused faces.

Natalie is a little princess. She has got the Diva act together. She loves being bublegum with us in bed and heaven forbid we give her a little independence. Sometimes though she will go walking in her walker but it's usually to turn off the TV or get into something. She loves opening drawers and cabinets and trying to make a mess. I put her in the clothes basket and she had a fun time standing along side me and pulling clothes out and reaching for hangers. She's doing really well with her solid foods and loves loves loves grated cheese. She also started this new thing where she calls everyone MA. She used to say Dadadadada, mamamamama and other gibberish and now she says MA every once in awhile to all of us. I told Mike I think she made that her word for YOU. So she's really saying.. hey You and you and You. I hear Mike trying to tell her Dada. She's stubborn. He's MA for now. Ha!

Well next weekend we are putting up the tree. I'm excited and at the same time exhausted about Christmas coming up. I already started my shopping and requested list. Since the kids can't read I can post what I think we'll get them this year here. Philip asked for a COMPUTER!! wow! And Natalie will probably get a walker that she can push around and do activities on. I saw a nice one from VTech.

Anyways, we're trying to stay warm now.
