Conversation before bed

Pickle: We are doing body work at school.
Momma: Oh really?  What sort?
P:  There is a little skeleton on the shelf, it's new.  DO NOT TOUCH IT, DO NOT take it to a table.  It is just for looking.  With your eyes.
M: Oh Ok.
P: It's knees and feet and hands move.
M: How do you know that?  If you aren't supposed to touch it?
P: Ahhhh... I just do.  Did you know if you had no bones you would just be a big slug.  A BIG SLUG Momma.
M: That's right, a big slug.
P: Inside your skeleton are your organs.
M: I know!
P: and your intes... integ... intestegans; they are gooey.
M:  What?
P: Your intestegans, they are gooey, you can't touch them, they are inside.
M: Right, your intestines, you think they look gooey?
P: You can't touch them, why can't you touch them?
M: They are inside you.
P: But I want to touch them, How can I touch them?
M: You know... lets have some quiet time.

Did you know

We LOVE babies.
We got some cuddle time in with our cousin when we visited Grandma and Grandpa.

Polar Express

We went up to see Grandma and Grandpa and rode on the Polar express and saw Santa. It was pretty exciting.
We read the book on the train as we traveled up to the north pole.



We sipped on hot chocolate and munched a cookie and sang carols and choo choo'd all the way there.












After visiting the north pole, our uncle played Christmas carols while we waited for Santa.
The Chickadee is thinking.... "Is he still back there?  I think he might still be back there."

Holiday re-cap

My School had a fundraiser in December.  Mom donated this GIANT bear that she made.  I thought that we should keep him for ourselves.  

Here's the Chickadee and Uniqua.  Although if you asked her, she'll tell you that she's more about Pablo.  "PAAAAAAblow,  I watch Paaaaaablow?"





Whew... we are behind around here!  A lot of holiday goings on have gone on.
