We had a fairly eventful day today! It started out with finding my fish belly-up or close to it. We bought four new fish last week and three of them died pretty much right away and killed the rest of mine, so now I've disassembled the aquarium so we can decontaminate it and maybe we'll start over in the new year.
Joey and Alex are still sick with colds, although I still sent Joey off to school, he got cold medicine before he got on the bus and it wore off shortly after coming home so he wasn't too bad off. Today was his Christmas party at school and I didn't want him to miss it, plus I'd already made my Christmas tree shaped holiday rice krispie treats...although I'm sure the dayhome kids and I would have enjoyed them just as much. Tomorrow's adventure involves a gingerbread house...what am I thinking? Especially after the Haunted Gingerbread House mishap!
So, when I was looking for a little change of pace I let my fingers do the walking at naptime and phoned Auntie Jen. (Hi there!) You know, I felt like I've known her forever, it turns out we've got a lot in common. Thanks Uncle Paul for passing along her phone number!
Lastly, it was Memoirs of a Geisha night tonight with H. What a great movie! It is totally like the book which H and I have both read but will probably read again soon. I know what you mean Jen, during the previews for the movie I had that deja vu feeling and then realized that it was the book.
Wish me luck with the gingerbread house, Aaron has tomorrow off so hopefully he can help direct the kids a little or at least stop them from smearing icing in their hair, eyes, ears.....

Well even if you didn't get all your Christmas shopping done yet, what you did do was manage to send all your Christmas cards. I tell you, I just couldn't find the time. I did get the girls out and had pictures taken, which was a task in itself ... but the cards themselves never left the house. Now I'm going to have to send everyone by two day express and it's going to cost me a fortune! So what is Santa bringing you by the way?
Glad to hear you enjoyed the movie. I am going to try to find the time to read the book again before I watch the movie, just to refresh my memory.
Loved chatting with you Les, call me anytime!
I'm not too sure what Santa has in store for me this year...I didn't put anything too spectacular on the wish list this year seeing as Aaron just bought me a three band,five diamond just because I love you ring a month or so ago.I'd be okay with a matching bracelet though...
Hey good luck with the Gingerbread house! Maybe yours will not be robbed the next day of the little gumballs. my snowman now has no eyes and Kacie almost learned how to blow bubbles (or so she thinks!!! really just blow the gum almost out of her mouth) let me know how it turns out. I am sure it will be cute! have a good one.
