I just have no time because living takes all the time there is. BUT.
Have a slice of today.
Another Marnie recitation because she's so stinking cute:
A quick card from Pippin, who went to bed full of love and affection telling me he was going to write me a card in the morning with a smile and a heart and a star and "give me some cash" from his piggy bank inside. He didn't forget. Also of note: the cryptic message says, "Do you know..." and when I asked what the rest of the sentence was he replied, "The muffin man." He also included a handful of shapes, because OF COURSE he must when we discussed shapes at length in math today.
Tadhg patiently, kindly, longsufferingly washing breakfast dishes with the Most Insistent Helper who ever existed. Tessa does breakfast dishes with the boys every morning now. That and brushing her teeth are the two biggest highlights of her life.
Christmas magic at the Magic Hour in which all the children snuggle like little mice in their nests to read and play with trinkets and generally be cozy until it's time for bed in earnest.
A bonus from yesterday--another cozy little mouse. Makes me envious.
And for anyone who still follows this dead blog and doesn't already know in real life, our family will be adding another person, God willing, in the beginning of February(ish). Whoohoo!!!
