lena quote

so last night we had kraft shells and cheese for dinner (ok, i know it's evil but we barely ever eat this...). in fact, it was lena's first time to have this processed delicacy.

so she takes a bite and i ask, "what do you think?"

she replies, "mom, this macaroni is so good, it just kills me. people say that, right? when something is so good, they say 'it kills me' right?"

man, she's a funny girl.

lately...

a very merry Christmas

Christmas eve...




Stella did not want to pose with her new boa.



Christmas morning...the babies were a bit cranky, so I gave them fudge and jellybeans. (I'm sure I learned this strategy from Parenting Magazine, yes, I think it was an article called "smart tips from fabulous moms")




Eli is quite pleased with himself after "borrowing" Lena's new slide whistle.



Lena got some very beautiful new ballet outfits, and she was thrilled!!




It actually snowed on Christmas day, Lena went outside to pose in her new dress.



Christmas night, story time.
