I can't believe Christmas is here! There is no excuse for me not writing more, I really wish I had a good one. Life is very good. I am going to write about my crazy munchkins today, considering they take up every last second of my day.
***
Let's start with, they are crazy! Everett and Harry are in the most frustrating stage. It is constant time out for both of them and tantrums non-stop. Honestly, they are for sale. It's crazy how they go in phases, they are either sticky sweet amazing or they are little terrors. Today was in a word...awesome (that is my favorite word, it describes negative and happy emotions for me) I was out doing last minute shopping standing in a 40 min. line at Wal Mart, when I get a call from Jack saying that Harry pulled our tree down on top of himself. nice. I was hoping it scared him enough to not go near the tree, no such luck Jack told me he wasn't even phased. I guess it could have been worse but at the moment my house is a constant battle zone of messes and they are usually created by Harry. I love him to death, and he is still by cuddle bug adorable man, but boy he gets around and destroys fast. Don't even get me started on his meal times, he used to be my best eater now it usually ends up on the floor.***
Speaking of our tree. Jack and I picked a beautiful tree right after Thanksgiving, it was an awesome experience full of fresh cooked crab legs, awesome. Well its been getting pretty crispy and Saturday when Jack and I had friends over for the game his dad was looking at it and honestly their was no life left in it. I left to go do some shopping with Megan and when we returned I found Jack decorating a new tree! My wonderful father-in-law went to the nearest tree lot and grabbed us a new one. Love it! So, then we decided we hated our decorations (except for our keep sake ornaments which we will keep adding to our tree, I love an eclectic look) so we went and bought new ones and we are amazed at the difference. So Thank You Bob!***
I have some awesome stories I have been meaning to write down, they usually involve Everett for he is quite a character. When he was playing with his cousins a few weeks ago I heard him whining, all of the cousins were upstairs so I went downstairs to see what was wrong."Everett, whats up?"
Everett standing in one spot says "I'm frozen and they left me"
I love his obedience! They were playing 'freeze tag' and I guess Everett took it a little too literally.

My other awesome moment was yesterday morning, Jack had a early morning choir practice so it was up to me to get all the kids ready for church. I grabbed Jane out of her crib (always smiling) and then told Everett that is was time to get up so we can go to church. He replied with
"Five more minutes" as he showed me his five fingers and then pulled the covers back over his head. Love him. He is very whiny and crazy at the moment and not playing well with Harrison, but for the most part these kids make me laugh everyday. Jane is love. We all love Jane.I know, no pictures. But I really hate my camera and if I want a good picture I have to take 5 to get a decent one and then by then the moment is gone. I am excited though, because I just ordered our first ever Camcorder and am so excited to catch these crazy's on tape.
Jack just came in with a bloody foot and achy body from playing basketball. Time to tend to my man. goodnight.

So fun!!!! Sometimes I look at Chad and say remember hun this is the plan of happiness!!! We both just laugh!
Bummer about your camera! I would love to see your tree! If you catch a quick minute take a pic and post it! Anyway. It was so good to see you at grandma's and Jane is sooo cute! I could just squeeze her. Harrison is also so sweet. He kept coming up to me and trying so hard to tell me something. Finally I figured he just wanted his sweater off. He is just adorable. I don't know where Everett was I think I saw him just to get his blanket. I avoided the back room with all the kids though so that is probably where he was!
Well Merry Christmas!
This is so fun to read. First, I can totally relate to the little terror. My Meg is into everything. Much more curious than Burk ever was. 2nd, your tree story cracks me up becaues my tree is so dry it's SAD too. This is our 4th year having a real tree and never has it been this dry before Christmas. I too found some new orniments to add to the tree at a Re-Uzit shop. They are red skis, I love them!
I really hope you have a Merry Christmas with your cute family. We are expecting our 3rd in June. So should I be nervous? Meg is a great baby but the two of them will be 20 months apart. Wowzers.
Happy Holidays Sarah and Jack!
