are no fun!!! all of us are sick but kurt. poor kurt! he has done such a good job of taking care of all of us! anna isn't too bad so that's good too! poor little wilson didn't sleep much last night and is kind of cranky today. i gave him a cookie to cheer him up but even that couldn't keep him from drifting off in his swing. :) (thanks again, lisa, for letting us borrow your swing!)
i have to admit i am quite a bit jealous of all of my friends in anaheim this weekend for cha! but we had a great, relaxing weekend at home too. lots of pajama wearing, blankie snuggling, book reading and cartoon watching. we spent a lot of saturday in the toy room downstairs playing in the pretend kitchen. the kids and kurt went to the mall and brought home new crocs. we almost never go to mass on saturday night but we tried this weekend and sure enough there was another event going on. so wilson and i had to stand in the back most of the time. well he is a good boy in church but he just gets so excited and when he's excited he's so noisy! hee! in the back of church he flirted with an adorable 18 month old little girl. he likes the ladies! ;) he and an older gentleman also talked stocks and bonds. hee! kurt made us a delicious breakfast on sunday morning. i think the pictures explain the rest of the day, besides a short play date and some shoe shopping later in the day. :) and note that i took at least 10 pictures in a row of all three of the kiddos together and i only managed to get them all looking once and ella had her tongue sticking out! ack! hee! ;)
the girls are very into baking and cooking these days. maybe it's because santa brought them a kitchen for christmas. or maybe it's because we've been watching a lot of the food network lately. whatever the reason, we are having so much fun! today's creation was a heart shaped cake. i have to say the girls are excellent bakers. it's delicious! :)
anna asked for a cell phone of her own tonight. yes, she is in kindergarten. apparently a boy in her class already has one. of course i have no idea if maybe this kid has medical problems or some reason why he might need one. but she thinks she needs one. and is very adamant about it. eeek!!!
wilson was baptized today! my brother john and his wife tall anna are wilson's godparents. he was such a good boy! he slept through mass and woke up just in time for his part. he actually wanted to dive into the baptismal font. :) he didn't cry a bit and even gave father a hug after the ceremony. he's such a sweetie! after church we had gabby's coke cow for lunch while we watched da bears!!! superbowl bound!!!! wooohoooo!!! :D
i thought once christmas was over we could all catch our breath and relax. that has yet to happen! we had a GREAT christmas (pictures soon!!!), other than having the sickies the whole time. :( and round 2 of them has started today, i'm afraid. :P the girls got almost every single (reasonable) thing on their lists. so you can imagine the past weekend was spent finding room for everything and letting go of a few oldies. we spent new year's eve weekend with my brother charley and his girlfriend mandy (pictures of that soon too), as has become our tradition --- we've spent the past 3 new years with them, kind of coincidently. since we were all sick none of us actually made it to new years, though. next year we have vowed not to be party poopers (as ella says.) hee!!! and speaking of uncle charley, he turns the big 3-0 today, so happy birthday!!!!! :D here's a totally unrelated picture of wilson eating cereal for the first time. hopefully next time i won't take a month to post. ;)
