Christmas stuff

Our tree fell over the other day. No one seems to know how it happened. I had laid my Christmas stockings under the tree and when the tree fell over, a candy cane landed on top of some of the stockings, the candy cane got wet and now the stockings have red stain spots on them. Not to mention the handmade stockings were made mostly of red fabric, which ran too. Oh well, it will remind me each year to make sure the tree is secure.

JB was fussy recently. Could not figure it out, then finally checked his diaper to see if he was dirty. I found several of the nativity figures inside his diaper. It seems that older brother had selected a few to put down the back of his diaper and of course, JB could not reach them. I would have been cranky too if I had Mary and a shephard boy in my diaper.

The cutting of the pinewood derby car has begun. Will be interesting to see the final outcome. B wants to put lots of things on it, but he just does not get the concept of the more things attached to the car, more likely the slower it will be.

This past weekend we went to the local festival of lights. Saw the Grinch at the library. My boys obviously did not know who the grinch was, so brought the book home. Have checked out a few chapter books for B. He is really enjoying reading right now and I love reading the books to him. Won't be long before he is reading full chapters to us.

This next week is my last week for bible study. Then my days will really free up. Wednesday will be our only weekday where we have anything planned. Hopefully that means lots of hanging out with the kids. We head to the dentist on Monday. Sure am interested in talking with him about B's teeth. They are a very tight bunch. Don't see anyway a permanent tooth will have room to come in (not that he has lost one yet...)
