Christmas Tin

We have a set of Christmas tins that only come out after Thanksgiving.  Sometimes they have snacks in them and sometimes they become part of the furniture.  This tin caught my attention and I  rolled it around the kitchen and then when it ran into the fridge decided to sit on it.  It turns out that when you sit on the tin after rolling it around it seems to keep rolling.  Anyway, my mother set it upright, which is bad for rolling, but seems to be better for sitting.  I can always knock it over again if I need to transport it to other parts of the house.

Full Mouth

They let me eat all kinds of yummy cookies when we have guests.  My mother says that I should not expect the ratio of cookies to days in the month to continue from December to January.  So, I will have to enjoy all I can now to make up for the rest of the year.

Lantern

We have a new addition to the hallway, two actually.  There is the board in the background with the botanical drawings, and then the green lantern.  One has to get a boost (from Dad) to be able to reach either.  Why are all the decorations a yard or more up in this house?

Setting up Cars

Many thanks to the B- boys and their parents for the neat car tracks.  Edmund has been enjoying them over and over!  This will definitely be fun for a long time to come.

Miss Emily

Edmund is so glad when Miss Emily comes back from wherever it is that she goes for months at a time.  Something called college.  Anyway, he thinks she really ought not stay away from him so long.  He enjoyed watching the year end slide show with her at church today.  We are so glad she is back!

Pop Rocks

Uncle David & Kirsten came tonight and brought fun candy to share.  

Did you know that Pop Rocks fizzle in your mouth? They are so much fun.

The Five Hour Version

Edmund is very happy to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.  And he enjoys their smiles!

Lily says, "Cheese!"  She is a very good little hostess.  It is always fun to get out and share/steal other people's toys.

But, My Dear, Edmund is not sure if he really wants to give a ball.  He would much rather keep the ball for himself.  He is not into sharing the ladies or the balls.

Cresh

Edmund and Corbin had fun playing with the Little People Nativity set at Playgroup today.  Hudson is in the background raiding the shelves.  The boys also enjoyed using the drill to screw in all the bolts you see on the white board.  Such fun things to do on a Wednesday.

Playing with Rory

While Mother and Father escaped to a little Christmas shindig Edmund went to Rory's house for playtime.












We were told that there was almost plug sharing but Miss Katy, Rory's mother, put a stop to that.  Parents can be so funny about sharing.  They want you to share toys and books and animals, but not plugs and cups and food.  We wish they could get things sorted out a little better.

Little Chorister

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth
Our full homage to demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
In the body and the blood;
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six winged seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High!

Something In The Mouth

Leg, Up and Over

Of all the interesting ways this man has found to sleep, I think this is the one that makes me most uncomfortable.

Width

Why sleep down the bed when you can sleep across it? You might not wake up with rail marks on your head.  What fun would life be then?

Blue

It is a very blue sort of night.  We are tired and ready for bed.  Anyone want to snuggle?
