Well this past week while I was taking a quick shower, I let Christopher feed himself some oatmeal to keep him busy while I got ready. I came out and he was waving his spoon around and just talking to Katherine. I looked over and he had the oatmeal bowl on his head and was not trying to move it or anything...he was very content with it staying right on his head like a hat. Stinker...time for bath after that!
Katherine had her Christmas party on Friday at school and had a great time. She had a substitute teacher that day and I felt sorry for him...partly because he seemed like he wasn't very assertive (which you need with 1st graders on a party day!) and just because the kids were having all sorts of fun snacks on their non-routine day. Overall it was a fun day and I'm glad she'll be home for a couple weeks. (Sorry the picture doesn't relate).
Matthew dressed up for Awanas last Sunday as a Wise Man for the Live Nativity week, but of course by the time we got to church, the outfit was completely off and on the floor of the car. I think I managed to get the hat back on. Ah well! Boys will be boys!!
This year we didn't quite pull it together for a family Christmas picture so we went outside today to snap a few of the kids. I think this one is probably the best one...I never realized how hard it is to take pictures of 3 kids and get them to look and smile at the camera, and stay positioned...and then remember to take the picture! Of course, I couldn't get Christopher to smile, but I was happy he at least was looking at the camera. You can read a lot into our kid's personalities by this picture I think...Katherine is the girly girl, Matt's the funny clown, and Christopher is the intellectual thinker/watcher.
I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!
