My friend Debbie came over and brought this little ornament. She said that she thought of me when she saw it. It's CUTE....and I DID think almost immediately that I need to make a stocking next year to hang on our mantle with the name "Jesus" on it. I think we'll sort of do the "fill the manger with straw" thing...but have slips of paper and they can write down anyone they see doing something "Christlike" and fill the stocking....Next year....

It's always fun to visit with Debbie. She works in the local hospital and has quite the stories to tell after this week. ::snort::

She left her key to their house with me so that if our water goes out again we can go out there. They will be gone for two weeks. They live in the NORTH part of town and aren't being affected at home by this. She even called the alarm company to give them our names. LOL

I made bread today....I forgot the salt so they rose and rose and collapsed...but they taste good....Here Stacia practices her one finger touch technique...Ugh look at this mischevious SMIRK

One thumb - this is new - what happened to ONE FINGER???

Zanderism

He has a nasty habit of {OK this is GROSS but stick with me and it's funny} picking his nose and eating it. This is so sick. Combined with his chewing of his finger; it's about to drive me batty.

I told him tonight, "Please, don't eat it - that's really gross."

He asked, "Why?"

I replied, "You'll get germs inside if you eat things like that."

To which he replied "This doesn't count, Mom!"
~*~*~*
A bit later Stacia was attempting to eat her diaper creame. She has THAT habit.

Zander: "Stacia - don't eat that - its organanin!"

Mom: "What, Zander?"

Z - "Its ORGANANIN, it will have germs!"

Transaltion - it's organic - guess the germ content is higher??? LOL
