Merry Christmas! We've had a great one this year. The kids have enjoyed playing with everyone so much! We had my uncle, aunt, and cousins come from Colorado earlier this week to visit and had a great time with them. We got to video-chat christmas again this year with Justin's mom Debbie and Tommy. Justin's dad came in yesterday and is visiting us until Monday.
And since we haven't had much to do these last couple weeks (please note the sarcasm), we decided to move the kids upstairs. We've been meaning to for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it. But there was a lot to do. Okay, so there was an immense amount of work to be done before they could go up there. Lets just say the upstairs had become, well, the junk and storage areas. And the rest of the house wasn't exactly in its prime either. The attic doorknobs needed to be replaced with with locking ones, closets needed to be purchased and installed, ditto on the blinds, oh, and one last little thing, almost everything in the house needed to be shuffled around to the appropriate rooms. So with the help of Jason (without whose help the children would not have been upstairs this week), we got an amazing amount of work done. There are still multiple things to finish up, but the bulk of it is done! And I think the house is more organized than its been, well probably since we moved in!
Lex and Inara love their new rooms. Inara takes long, wonderful, restful naps (she had been fighting them) and about half the time Lex will take a nap at the same time she does (those with multiple young children know what a challenge that can be sometimes)! In fact, both are sleeping now! I think Lex enjoys having more freedom upstairs, as he is allowed to roam freely through the whole upstairs, not to mention access the potty during the night! And the children are able to play (and play nicely!!) upstairs while I have uninterrupted time to cook, clean , do laundry, etc, without stumbling over my well-intentioned helpers.
I will close with a lovely story from last night:
We were all in Lex's room last night and he was playing with the little pirate set that was in his stocking. He told us that one of the pirates was Jesus and, to his credit, it did have facial hair like most all pictures of Jesus do! Did I mention he was a pirate for halloween?
