A updates:
. wants daddy to build her a stage to dance upon. I'll be happy to keep her off the tables!
. is talk & skinny; not like the P-side:)
. is now requesting that God take away the snow so we can go back to the beach. Amen!
. said she was going to California to see Grandma & pa
R updates:
. has decided he doesn't want to wear big-boy underwear after all
. doesn't care to play with others - let alone play WELL with others
. has a new fave word besides "no"; it's "NEVER"
hazards of renovating with preschoolers:
*1/2 set drywall mud makes great tracks when a 2yr old drives his train through it!
* pink insulation looks (but does not taste) very much like cotton candy, as our youngest discovered. "Skusting!" he said as he feverishly rubbed his mouth. He's our "stories boy". At this rate, we'll never run out!

the cat-lady in me
so we've moved in!
after a year in our 109 yr. old (smaller) home, we've finally unpacked. i am so sorry to those that helped us move (thankfully, most exclusively related) because we're "unloading" most of those boxes on new friends here, or good ol' sally.
but a thought came to mind yesterday when jim "encouraged" me to tackle the basement: where would i be without him? likely not rossland but that's not what i mean. more like...who would i be?
i like to keep things...a lot of things...useless things. there's a little cat-lady in me, i discovered. scary thought.
and ryder's starting to potty train

Christmas snapshots
A. taking part in Rossland's annual Reindeer Prance. We loved sharing our town w/ Mom & Dad who came for a "surprise" visit.
Santa took the opportunity to go crazy with the decorations Christmas eve with twinkle lights fastened to (unfinished) ceiling, curtain rods, fireplace etc, snowflake "curtain" for kids to enter living room, and doo-dads affixed to every square foot of living space. Had to get it out of his system before the reno's done and Mom forbids the sticky tape.
A. kicking back with a little Charlie & Lola after an exhausting morning of present-opening
Christmas brings out the princess in all of us! Check out his earring and Miss America smile!
playschool concert with fellow diva girlfriend M. Seems A. quite likes the stage as demonstrated by both Christmas concerts. She was miffed that she had to settle for being a sheep while the 5 yr olds got to play angels!
