Merry Christmas to All!

Merry Christmas everyone, the wrapping paper is beginning to settle here, and the kids are still smiling, so it must have been a good one. I had a few pearls of Christmas wisdom from this past week I wanted to share.

1) When cleaning the mint-flavored vomit out of a child's bed at 11:30 pm, and you don't feel any disgust or anger, just a peaceful sense of duty, you know that there is true and unconditional love.

2) Each of the kids got a big gift, which were a little difficult to wrap. So when they got up this morning Ryan was standing behind the couch, peering over the top staying "Santa gave me a new shopping cart! Santa gave me a new shopping cart!" And Holly hasn't put down her giant Nemo stuffed fish yet!

3) The Ryan-sized mop actually works and he has been asking to use it all morning.
