"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."-Emerson

Gravity

I don't know where these kids learn some of the stuff they say. Today as Debbie was standing in the middle of the room trying to put her boots on she started to fall and muttered, "stupid gravity." What?! Gravity?! Must've learned that from Sesame Street, because I'm certainly not smart enough to explain gravity to her.
Oh, and
Cosette is walking now!!! She finally decided it was worth her time to walk more than a few steps at a time. Yay!

Another Lesson from Debbie

Debbie has once again innocently offered me wise advice. Advice that was very humbling and I am going to try to remember it and live it. I've been feeling a little out of sorts lately and have been taking it out on the kids. I'm not proud of it, but I've been short with them and have been yelling at them a lot more. Well, today at lunch I yelled at Debbie for talking during the prayer and then immediately felt bad so I apologized to her for it. And then she gave me great and very sweet advice. She said, "It's okay for you to yell at me mommy, it's just not okay for you to yell at me TWELVE times." How sweet is that? I don't give this little girl enough credit, I really need to appreciate her more.

Christmas Day

Debbie got this chapstick in her stocking and she carried it around with her ALL DAY. As she was putting it on one time she said, "I need to put on my lipstick so I can kiss boys." Haha! Don't know where she got that one!The kids enjoying their new watercolor paints. They got the cowboy hats from Santa too.
Whenever we asked Debbie what she wanted for Christmas the first thing she'd say was an umbrella, so the kids both got umbrellas!
Nice hair baby!!!

Christmas with the Rogers

I think this is one of my favorite shirts :)

The kids all got cute pj's from Nana and Grandpa Rogers and they love them! There were way too many pictures to choose from, but the kids got lots of good things, talk about spoiled!

Christmas 1

We decided to have the kids open their christmas presents from us before Christmas this year because we were going to my parents house for Christmas. It was really fun to see the kids excited and I think it was good for them because they were able to enjoy all their stuff as it came without being too overwhelmed.
Princess shirt from Grandma Westerson. Debbie loves it and the princess jeans that came with it, especially the belt!
