A Long Winter’s Nap and Other Ramblings

DSC_0663c

Aren’t you ready for a long winter’s nap?  We sure are!  This is a little game the boys have been playing for about a month.  If you say "Night, Night, _____ (insert boy name)", they hit the deck, thumb in mouth, and get in sleeping position.  I really need to get it on video – it’s a riot.

If the next parts seem random and unrelated, it’s because they are…but I’ve been meaning to post a few things so fasten your seatbelts for some classic rambling!

  • I’ve been meaning to show you these:

Aren’t they just precious?  No mantle to hang them on yet, but I think the staircase makes a nice display. I got these off of Pottery Barn after Christmas clearance last year and could hardly wait to get them hung.   I am such a sucker for embroidered names. It’s when I look at all of their names on 4 different things, that it sinks in a little further that we have 4 BOYS!

  • You might have noticed that I added my "tweets" to our right sidebar. Feel free to "follow me"  by clicking the link, if you’d like a little glimpse of my daily reality. And if you are new to all this bird jabber, this article is a good twitter introduction.

 

  •  New challenge of the week:  The boys are learning to use their toys and books as weapons.  Let’s just say the bridge of my nose still hurts from yesterday. Discipline is such a fun part of my job description (written with major sarcasm).

  • We’re all quite excited for Christmas.  We’ll be traveling for Brad’s side of the family for Christmas Eve. Home just the 6 of us for Christmas, and then having my side of the family here the weekend following.  I can hardly wait to experience it all!

  • We got the boys one big gift for Christmas morning.  They are going to LOVE it! Any guesses? Need a hint?  Hmmmm…It doesn’t contain batteries.

  • Last, but CERTAINLY NOT least.  I’ve been mentoring a fellow quad mama, who blew past my personal 32 week milestone this week.  Suzy is 32 weeks 4 days today!  It’s absolutely miraculous, especially since she’s been on hospital bed rest since 25 weeks with contractions AND on "The Mag". I cannot even put to words, how HARD Suzy is fighting right now for these babies.  It’s a true sacrificial love, and I know she would appreciate your prayers!  Love you, Suzy!
