Let Them Be Little: HAPPY THOUGHTS

It's Wednesday.

A gorgeously sunny day.

Wednesday, a.k.a. a mother's weekly Christmas.

Letter day. A red letter day. (Red is my favorite color...)

Tonight we should hear from Nathan. So after I have read his letter 10 or 20 times, there will be a little bit of a letdown feeling following the elation of hearing from him. And then the excitement will build again as next Wednesday arrives.

There will be some awesome Olympic competition today! (Click on link for results and schedules). Big talent! Can't wait to see some of the favorites compete today! As I type this, I already know the outcome of a favorite (thanks to my cool Olympic's app on my iPhone!) but I won't spoil it here...in case you are waiting to see it, I'll be watching tonight for sure!

Karen and Tyler will be here Friday. (My niece and newest nephew, her hubby). They are coming to town for the wedding of Karen's mom, Stacy, to her fiance` Jay. Karen and Tyler are coming over to stay with us while they are here though, so even though they won't be in town very long, we will get some real face-time with them! Yippee! And surely, with Karen here, Marilyn will come over to play games or something...Marilyn?

The other day we had a little incident in the home that is still giving me the giggles and I must share. Meg and Smash were having a little argument upstairs. The tone of the argument was clear but I couldn't get a clear understanding of the cause. As the argument progressed and began to escalate, I wondered if I should intervene but decided against it. Megan was the only one I could hear so that let me know that Smash was really pushing buttons...

Just as I had decided to let them figure it out, I heard Megan in her highest, 12 year old girl tone yell at Smash, "Seriously, can you NOT be mature for just ONE minute?!" Bwah, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Later I pulled her aside and let her know that I had heard the little argument. She smiled sheepishly and got a case of the giggles on the inside.

Then I shared with her a couple of my thoughts on it. "#1, did you know you didn't sound very mature either as you were screeching at Smash?" AND "#2, boy + 13 years old = not too mature...try him again in about 7 years, ha, ha." But we love Smash, we do! He's great and he will laugh at this when he reads it.

Since I don't have Marin today, I am off to help a friend.

For a little more fun, here are a few photos from our recent snow day:

We also have been watching the Olympics. They are unbelievable. We are addicted to TV each night. Have a great time with Karen and Tyler. I loved the snow pictures. It's just like Emily to put a heart in the snowwoman. I love the scarf pink hair. She is so creative . . . just like her mom.
