Blah blah blah breakfast of yogurt and oatmeal.
Now, I don't mean to brag but I wrapped up all my Christmas presents this morning. That means I'm DONE. Bring. It. On.
My present wrapping was interrupted by some squabbles from the kids. Adam and Alex decided that Ariel was the Rancor from Star Wars - you know the monster that Jabba the Hut tries to feed Luke to - and that led to some somewhat unfair attacks on Ariel.
10:00 Met Rachel and Liliana at the Boulder History museum. Their current exhibit was "100 Years of Play" featuring lots of old toys.
Alex like the current toys better.
Ariel and fractals. What could go wrong???
A baby positioner for photography. Where can I get one???
Upstairs we found a gold panning simulator involving a scoop and lots of plastic beads that had all 3 kids fighting (and moms picking up lots of plastic beads).
11:00 Left the museum and had a quick lunch at Einstein's. Alex was certain there would be no food for him since he only likes Moe's egg and cheese bagels but he managed to eat a fruit cup and plain (and I do mean plain) bagel. Ariel was not into her egg and cheese bagel that she split with me.
11:30 Picked up the Adamnator yada yada.
11:50 Got home, Ariel went down for a nap.
1:45 Ariel woke up. I read books to her and Adam and Ariel does not approve of The Pokey Little Puppy.
2:30 Left to pick up Alex.
Ariel got her boots and tights a bit wet this afternoon...
For full effect, see video (only multiply by 40 because she did this for 20 straight minutes):
And on the parenting front, I'm doing a fine job. Alex just asked for a cookie and I told him he could have one after dinner. Then he said, "I'm going to punch you if you don't give me what I want." And THEN he proceeded to count to 3. He's resting in his room now pondering the wisdom of that threat (and no, he didn't punch me).
4:00 Early pick up!
Well, this is the last post before the winter holiday so I hope everyone has a great break. I plan on chilling and snowboarding and not being sick :)

That is TOO funny, because Mae did the EXACT same this at Ted's pickup. I should have videoed it. Dueling water running. Funny (wet) kids!
Ariel's boots WERE very wet. Which did NOT stop her from wanting to wear them (which she did) on our errands yesterday afternoon.
Happy winter holiday :)
Wendy, I'm cracking up at Alex's declaration! Where do these kids get this stuff? I'm sure threatening to punch Alex is not a tool in your parenting toolbox.
Just yesterday, Brooke beared (bore?) her teeth at me and told me I was being mean because I would not allow her to have the entier couch to herself.
