Shadows

Oh my goodness little ones are too cute. Rosie discovered her shadow on the ground and was trying to pick it up! I have seen them chase there shadow or be amused at how it followed them. This is the first of watching those little fingers try to grasp for it.

The other week D. got mad at Daddy. That is so funny because he is all Daddy's! So he worked very hard at trying to ignore Daddy with a smurk. Daddy couldn't put him to bed either. So he decided he would carry a groodge. Yes I spelled that right. He worked up a good one right up until Daddy visited Joanie at school. Boy did he ever notice he wasn't bothered and it wasn't worth it. So when Daddy came home he had to let the groodge go and was hanging all over him. I think Daddy ate every minute of it.

Elijah is loving the pops corn! He only finished up 7 bowls. Yikes I don't know where he put it but he enjoyed every minute of it. We had a few very cold wet days which led to alot of movies. I just love the old Christmas classics. We did slip one non seasonal movie in which was so funny. It is called The Thrill of it All with Doris Day. That one the boys can't wait to watch again.

Well we have most of our Christmas shopping done. Unfortunately the hardest people are left. I have been shocked at the way I have seen stores jack up the prices. I am now thinking I will make sure I buy before the season.

We are trying hard to get the children to think outside of themselves. We made them go work in the neighbors yard. Boy they didn't want to do that. The boys saw their little sisters willing and didn't want to be left out. Once they got there they had so much fun. Now if we can just get them over the fear of doing it.
