you need some milk, sweet baby jesus?

remember our  advent calendar?

i am happy to say that there are only a few more days left of activities.

it's been fun---and a good way to count down, but let me say...i'm exhausted.

and there have been a few days where i've had to postpone the activity until the next day and i get all sorts of drama from a certain 7 year old.

"but mooooooooom.  you said yesterday we would do this today and then you said today we would do it tonight and now you're saying tomorrowwwww?"

and to that i respond with:

"be quiet, caedmon...i really don't need to hear about what a horrible mom i am right now, mkay?  i'm sleep deprived.  we will decorate christmas cookies when i say we will."

hmmmmph.

and for the record here, while i'm having said conversation with said 7 year old, i am also nursing a baby, changing a 2 year olds' diaper, and stirring the noodles for dinner...all at the same time.

i'm a master at multi-tasking not a superhero, you hear?

moving on.

we did make rice krispie treats the other day.

enjoy photos from that glorious event.

another activity on the advent calendar was having the kids put on a play for mommy and daddy.  they had to act out the christmas story.

they spent their entire rest time deciding who was to play who, costumes, songs, etc.

milo was baby jesus, kohen was the donkey who carried mary.

hadley, elsa and caedmon were all the other 20 characters.

at one point, the 3 bigs were singing a song, and i look over to see kohen with his shirt way up, leaning over milo.

he was trying to breastfeed baby jesus.

lovely.

happy weekend and merry christmas!
