Well, we're off for a sleet day! It has been a great day. I got a ton of laundry done while watching a cheesy Christmas feel-good movie, baked banana bread and snuck some chocolate chips into it, read a non-thought-provoking magazine a bit, and relaxed. Can't beat that!
The kids have been cleaning their rooms and playing, and Alyssa just informed me that Richard and I are invited to a tea party at 9:28 sharp! She has no concept of time yet, but she was sure that was after she would be done. Judging from her room this morning, it may take that long!
Jonathan is about to lose a tooth - his first top tooth to fall out. So, the Tooth Fairy has to prepare to make a stop over the holidays. Maybe she can get directions from Santa.
We're preparing for a new addition to our family. It's funny how more thought and consideration has gone into getting a dog than into whether or not to have kids. We knew we wanted kids, and they're portable! :-) Dogs, however, have to be taken to a kennel when you go on vacation, or special arrangements have to be made. It just seems like more of a hassle than kids, but maybe we're wrong...........we're hoping so. Richard and I were sitting on the couch the other night enjoying the tree lights and the fire in the fireplace, and all of a sudden it hit me.............we're going to have a dog during the time we will be visiting my brother's house for 3 days for Christmas. So, I turned to Rich and told him this. He promptly said, "Crap! I never thought of that!" And, now reality has set in.
Don't get me wrong.........we are excited. I think it will be fun to have a dog, but we will not be able to be as spontaneous as Richard truly is by nature. So, we'll see what Richard comes up with for the trip to Tracy's house. They are dog people, but Seiko is old and cranky. She may not want a new one around. We'll just have to see.
