Today was the boys' first day back to school.
As I drove away after dropping them off I started thinking about all the kids sharing what they got for Christmas and the fun ways they had spent their vacation.
And I wondered what Brian would say if he could.
I think it would go something like this,
"For my Christmas vacation I wanted to have a marathon movie watching day every single day but my mom just wouldn't allow it. However I did become a bit attached to a new movie, Peter Pan, and have acquired some great scripts from it. My mom just LOVES when I yell "I CAN FLY!" and I jump off any surface I can find onto her back. She makes a funny snapping sound when I do it. My other favorite script is "FIRE AWAY!!".
One morning when I was taking a bath I decided to do a science expirement. I only had five minutes of unsupervised time but I managed to dump out three bottles of lotion, a bottle of hair gel, a bottle of conditioner, another of shampoo, and spray a lot of the hairspray right into my tub. It smelled great! My Mom wasn't pleased....maybe, she didn't like the smell?
Yesterday I really wanted to look pretty so I opened up my Mom's body shimmer. I dropped it by accident and now our WHOLE livingroom is sparkling! It wasn't my intended outcome, but I like it!
Oh, I also broke my second pair of $150 therapeutic listening headphones. Same way. I propped them up and then stepped on top of them and snap. Again, for some reason, Mom wasn't too happy.
I had a great Christmas. I got THREE new Thomas engines!!! Yes, I opened a dozen other presents but I forgot what those were. Can you believe I got THREE NEW THOMAS ENGINES?!?!?!
I got to sleep in my Mom's bed a few nights during vacation and I just love when she lets me do that. I love to sleep sprawled right across my Mom and moving every five minutes. Mom complains but she's always smiling and continues to snuggle with me so I don't think she really minds.
So those were my highlights. Bet you can't beat that!!"

Heather, you always seek to make me cry and smile at the same time. I admire your strength, dedication, and true love in situations I would never be able to be in. Million kudos to you love.
Aw! So much going on here! Sorry abut the messes. Shimmer = glitter = herpes of the craft world = lifetime commitment!
Love the snuggle time, though!
I am definitely willing to bet that no one in Brian's class can top those vacation highlights! We had some moments but nothing quite compares... :)
By the way, what IS it about the bath?? These kids are SO quick at the "snatch and pour" maneuver. Lily's favorite is to pull whole bath towels into the tub - the more, the better! I hate trying to wring those things out....
I love it. Mine would say "I got a gift card to the App store!" Now repeat that 100 times/day, every day, for the last 6 days. And I love hearing it!
I'm glad you guys and a good holiday!
Brian always gets into the most mischief in the bath! Yesterday he put a huge gash in his forehead while in the bath :(
I'm totally using that herpes line at some point ;) Brian STILL has shimmer in his hair lol.
