Cal and Ben's gingerbread house 
3 months old - already?!
Seth loves this toy, mainly because it's the only one he sees on a regular basis!- The holidays aren't feeling very magical this year. I think it's the lack of snow. I was excited to see first snow fall, only for it not to stick :( We did however get hit by that big ice storm. Thank goodness for those fireplaces!!! LOVE THEM! We lost power sometime in the wee hours. I was woken by the baby stirring at 2:30am and realized it was oddly dark and then saw my clock was out. After I was awake, it was hard to go back to sleep. Every minute or so I'd hear a big snap and then the thud of the branch with all the ice raining down. I was afraid to change the baby on the changing table because it's right near a window that could possibly have a branch come through it! I was a little freaked out so I woke Eric up and made him come and sleep in the room with us (he normally sleeps in the guest room so the baby doesn't wake him). Anyways, we were SOOOO lucky to get our power back with 8-12 hours. By 10:40am the next morning it was up and running! The fireplaces kept us nice and toasty for the 3.5 hours we needed them. Our neighbors on the street that literally loops around ours didn't get power back until today! Distant memories of the hurricane and being without power for 5 days with a 10-month-old Cal drift back....
- Also, what's up??! Is everyone just slacking this year? Is it the economy? What?! It's December 14th and I have only SEVEN holiday cards...hmmm...to be fair, mine haven't been sent yet...BUT...it's really really not my fault. I ordered my cards from Tiny Prints because every time I got one in the mail last year I said to myself, "Ooooo this one is nice, where from?" and every time I flipped it over I saw the little Tiny Print logo and knew I had to have it this year :) Now these dumb things aren't cheap....but they are for me this year!!! That's right...they may be late but they are FREE!! Coming to a mailbox near you soon...
- I was so bummed when I didn't get to take Cal to his first movie ever. When Eric came home and told me how much Cal LOVED Horton Hears a Who, I could have just cried to not be there. But today I got to take him to his first 3D movie ever so that was cool :) The timing worked out that the baby was fed and I could get away for a few hours so we scurried off to see Bolt! Cal was so excited...he runs around like a psycho...he's so excited at first that he just can't stand still. He even fell flat on his face once. Oy vey! He made it through a good hour and 15 mins before he started asking when it would be over. Only 45 mins of that was the actual movie. They REALLY need to make previews for kids movies shorter or NON-EXISTANT! Anyways, he liked the 3D effect and it was a cute story even for adults. I'm a big fan of going to the movies so I was just happy to be able to take Cal for the experience!
