Neither Here Nor There

The other BIG (and I do mean BIG) news from yesterday is Micah's hair. Yup--we cut it! Ok, so it was supposed to just be a trim, which is how I convinced him to let me have a go at it, but I found out how hard it is to give an actual haircut to a kid who wont hold still--VERY difficult!! Everytime I'd get some hair to try and trim he'd flop his head over in that direction. Well, in effort to get everything even, it just kept getting shorter and shorter and shorter until...



The good news is, HE LIKES IT! He says it's "halfway done" and says it's just what he wanted because Obi Wan Kenobi Jedi Master has halfway done hair. (Love the reasoning)

Well, whatever the reason, I'm just thankful that he likes it!

And I wonder, wonder, wonder....
Will he want to grow it out again??

Just for fun, here is his last picture with long hair. I took this yesterday right before I "trimmed" it.

All I Want For Christmas is...

...my two front teeth!

Who You Callin' Fat??

John was making fried eggs for everyone this morning. Josiah wanted seconds and John asked Micah if he wanted another one, too. Micah said, no, he was full, "but you can eat that fat one...that one that's fat like mommy."

John said, "Mommy's not fat, she's pregnant. There's a difference."

Micah, "Yeah, but she's got that big ole belly."

John, "Because there's a baby in her belly. So, don't call her fat."

Micah, "Ok...But you're fat."

HA! I coulda died laughing!! He has no idea that what he said is anything bad...he just thinks fat=big, or bigger than him. But it's so funny to me when he says things like that!

Micah wanders off and comes back a few seconds later...

Micah, "Daddy! Look what I found! It's a key!"

John, "Is it the key that unlocks your etiquette box?"

Josiah pipes into the conversation, "What etiquette box?"

Exactly. :)

WOW! They Were Right!

I'm amazed. They were predicting snow for today and it actually snowed!! If you live around here, you know how rare it is for that to happen. Usually, we just get teased with the idea of snow--schools get cancelled and all the bread and eggs are cleared out of the grocery store, but the ground stays clear of all that beautiful white fluffiness. But today--today it really snowed!!











Sledding down the "hill"...with a new and improved version of the sled this year!

A Chip Off the Ole Block...or something like that.

I forgot to mention this in my post last night...so now it gets a post all it's own.

Saturday morning we were leaving the house to go to my mom's house for an extended Thanksgiving celebration. Micah was already out in the car, Josiah was standing on the front porch and Emilia was walking out the door with me. She was also, at her insistence, carrying my purse and keys and wearing rainboots. Quite a load for a little lady! So, I help her step over the threshold and Josiah's there and says, "Take my hand, Molly." She says, "NO." (Afterall, she is a big girl now and can supposedly walk down stairs on her own) I'm pulling the door shut behind me and say, "Then wait for mommy, Emilia." and hear a tumble, a rustle of leaves (where she landed) and a wail. I don't think she was counting on the imbalance brought on by all the things she was carrying because she CAN walk down stairs by herself now, but not in rainboots and not with mommy's purse....details.

Anyway, she's fine. Almost all in one piece. Just one little bitty chip is missing...from her front tooth. I don't think she misses it. But it does look a little different! The good news is that it's a baby tooth and in a few years it's going to fall out anyway and she'll grow another pretty, new, WHOLE tooth. Until then...
