Zoe & the "Pooh in the Box" 12-6-2006

This morning, we went to Ann's house to learn all about at the letter "G" (which Zoe must have learned by osmosis because she certainly wasn't paying very much attention, but somehow knew all about the letter when we got home.) Anyway, Ann took this video of Zoe playing with the intensisty that only a 2 year-old can.



This video was of the FOURTH time, she played with it. By the FOURTH time, you might think she would know when it was going to pop up, but apparently not. This also is not even close to the very first day that she played with this toy. She plays with it EVERYTIME we go over there. If only we could all be surprised over & over & over again, by that which has become predictable.

Christmas is Coming... 12-6-2006

It is official, the trees, snowmen, stockings, etc... i.e. all indoor Christmas decorations are up (you'll have to talk to Tony about the outdoor ones). We have a total of 7 trees this year, but a few of them are rather small (& one rather tall). Last night, I hosted the Christmas book club, a small, but joyous gathering. Joyous for me, mostly because it forced to me have all of my decorations up & the house cleaned. Now, I can relax for a few days.

For your viewing pleasure (& because Tony keeps pestering me to add this to the blog - mostly, I believe, so he can show people exactly how crazy I am), I've posted below, the 7 lovely trees (also note - the festive decorations on the mantle & more importantly, the TV mounted about it, YEAH!!). Merry Christmas!!
