Do you see a pattern here? I know I haven't been the most engaged parent the last few days, but this child is something else. I asked her yesterday, "what did you eat?" She responded, "a fuzzy." Really!?!? A fuzzy that turns your tongue green. It looked like she was chewing on crayon pieces. Today she walks up to me, purple drooling out of her mouth, in her teeth. It looked like she was swishing with liquid ink! Seriously Brooke? So again, "what did you eat?" "Nothing, I threw it away." After following 3 year old twins around the house I think she is eating the tips of colored pencils. I could be mistaken but that is the story they are telling me. Why won't she eat food like she'll eat everything else?!?! Patience :)


I would say I am, almost, back to normal. I haven't broke out the running shoes yet, but yesterday Ash and I did a little shopping, had a Christmas party at night and today we did alot of baking. I also woke up this morning and wondered, "what happened to my house?" It was good it was Steve's turn to go to church with the girls. That gave Brooke and I about 2 hours to speed clean. And it felt so good!! Laundry is folded, until the kids changed their clothes again, dishes are done, until someone decides to eat, and the toys, well they are still on the floor. That's just part of having kids. I had given myself (mentally) 48 hours after surgery to get back to normal. I like to set goals. So on Thursday I was wondering what was wrong with me. But Friday perked up and it's just gotten better since. Steve said he gave it a week, so I'm glad I could maintain someones goal. Nurses as patients are not recommended.


God has once again shown us His way is best. We are excited for this weeks fun and festivities. I do LOVE Christmas! I told the girls today, maybe we should eat cake Christmas morning. It is Jesus birthday! However, they are so hyped up on sugar these days I may need to think about that.
