OK, sorry for the lack of posts. As I said, work was entirely crazy up until the minute we left last week. Then we left for Maryland on Thursday afternoon, right after my work Christmas party. We just got back last evening.
The visit was good, kinda boring, but good to get away. We basically shopped and slept the whole weekend when we weren’t with family. Saturday night we had dinner with Dad’s family. Sunday afternoon dinner was with my mom’s family and then Sunday evening we went to my grandfather’s house. The kids were GREAT in the car. I really don’t know what we would do without the DVD player. It was one movie after another. But whatever, we had 8 hours of almost complete silence on the way home and what else could you ask for?
Lexi did something really cute yesterday at the gas station on the way home. She picked out a sucker (which she loves them) for herself and she went to get another one and I thought she was getting two for herself and she took the other one to Emma and said here Emma! It was so sweet to see her think of her big sister.
This morning the girls had their Christmas program at school. This little boy played with Lexi’s hair for several minutes and we could NOT believe it. She HATES when people mess with her hair. But she didn’t even flinch until his little fingers got caught in it and you could see her mouth OUCH and she swatted him away. But then he started right back up and she didn’t stop him. It was the funniest thing ever and I got it on film. I couldn’t believe how still Lexi was for the thing. She stood and sat when told to, didn’t cry and was just great. Emma on the other hand did not sing and ended up crying at the end. She said she was upset because she didn’t know the song but we only missed one day of school for the practice. I don’t know, I feel bad because she was so looking forward to their singing.
So it took all weekend to download the latest Office episode that I’m on–The Merger. But today I’m watching The Convict and will then be able to get to the Christmas one for this year. Yay! Well, technically, I never got Season 2 Disc 2 so I still have a little catching up to do. I so do not like Jim dating this girl. It’s such a bummer. And she’s so gorgeous. Blah.
