I was looking at my blog and noticed that my background is always something brown colored. I don't know why, maybe that is just the color that looks best for our family, maybe it is because our last name is Brown. Well, I know that isn't the reason. Anyhow, in choosing something for Christmas, I tried to not use a brown colored one. I guess it has some brown, but not a lot.
I am so ready for this Christmas season. Not for the gift part of it, but I absolutely love the feeling of Christmas. I am soooo ready for snow to be here so that it feels even more like Christmas. Plus, we HAVE to have snow for Christmas this year as David and Kris are coming and Kris has never had snow for Christmas. So this morning, while I was trying to comfort everyone in bed this morning, since we all seem to be sick, Kai came back into bed and said, "Do you like snow?" I said of course. He said, "Well it snowed about a foot out there." I got so excited. "REALLY!!!!!!" "No, there is only a tiny skiff." Bummer! Let's just hope that the snowy clouds I see over in the west will bring me the snow I am waiting for. I am ok with snow as long as it is here for the Christmas season and is gone right afterwards. Crazy I know.
I am feeling badly about venting so much about our children the last post. They really are sweet kids, and really right after I had posted that, they started to be good and really have been good ever since. I must have just been having a bad couple of days.

I haven't looked at your blog for a while, so I am commenting on the last several!
I have to admit that Kaylie is in that terrible two stage as well. She is driving me crazy! Suddenly she is scared (she says) to sleep in her room, scared to walk anywhere - she's always making me carry her which is a tad bit difficult with a 5 1/2 month preggo belly! - and she seems to have blocked out my voice completely! (See how similar all 2 yr. olds are?!?!) She stopped taking naps about a week after her birthday, so I don't even get a break during the day. One thing we've tried with some success is moving bedtime up. She was going to bed between 8-9, and we've moved it to 7-7:30. It took a few weeks, but now she goes to bed better, and is a tab less cranky during the day. Since it's so dark so early, I'm actually considering having them go down as early as 6:30-7. The one downside is they are up by 7:30 in the morning. However, I'm learning to like that because I get so much done! And, when they are asleep so early, it gives my husband and I some free time - we love to watch movies, play games, or just read on our own. Also, I've started helping her have alone time - I'll get out the toys in her room, play for just a minute until she's into it, then slip out. Suddenly she'll play alone for almost an hour or so. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's great!
SOrry to write a book! I'm sorry you're going through the same thing we are - at least we know we're not alone and our kids aren't abnormal! :) Good luck! Hope you get the snow you want!
I want snow too!! It snowed here just a couple days ago, it was just a little bit:( ...gone that afternoon...I love Christmas!!Snow would be nice.;)
