I thought Simon would be terrified of Santa
But he sat on his lap and said "my name is Simon"
and told him that he wanted a vacuum and tool chest.
Santa came to Charlotte's Christmas program
at school.
This week started out with me laying in bed on my stomach and Charlotte coming in and grabbing my backside(thinking it was my stomach) and saying "mommy, your tummy is getting a lot bigger" Then later Simon let me know that "Frankie" the blankie had pee peed in his pants. Now Frankie goes to the bathroom a few times a day. A couple days ago I cut the back of Charlotte's hair because it was a few inches longer than the sides. The next afternoon I found some hair in the garbage can and asked her about it and she informed me that she had cut her hair. I couldn't tell where she had cut so I wasn't too worried. Later I opened the fridge and there was random hair all over. I started to wonder....Then I was pulling her hair back to put in a clip and found a 2" wide section in the front that was at the most 1" long. It sticks straight up. It was almost exactly a year ago that Charlotte cut her bow out of her hair at school. I tried every punishment I could think of, including buying Simon a toy and licorice while at Target and not letting her have any. She didn't care though. Then yesterday the bomb hit. Charlotte had her Christmas program at school so I got out the camcorder to record it. The tape inside was full, so I put the full tape on the desk and got a new tape out. I am sewing some nativity costumes for the kids this year and I was working on them for about 10 minutes after we got home before I was going to put Simon down. Anyway, they were playing quietly in the other room, so I thought. I came in and found the camcorder tape on the ground along with a 5 inch piece of the film. I realized that this tape was started when Simon was born and in an instant it was gone, never to be seen again. Not sure if it was the drama of the week, pregnancy hormones, or what, but I put Simon in his bed for his nap and just went to my room and cried over the tape. Charlotte came up and had drawn me some pictures to make me feel better. I was devastated all afternoon about the tape being destroyed. When Dave got home I told him and he said "it was just pictures, we have other movies from our camera" I am still trying to recover, but it is a new day and I am feeling better.

Wow! You definitely have a busy life right now! And don't worry, I would have reacted the same way about the tape and I am not even pregnant. I love that Dave was acting like the peacemaker for the whole situation...trying to calm everyone down.
The pictures with santa are great! I hope all of the holiday events and planning are winding down for you so you can get some time to relax before the baby comes! :)
I can't believe the tape!! I would have lost it! Oh I am so sorry... I am so weird when it comes to those kinds of things. At least there are more! I am so sorry!!
It seems just like Charolette to act like that when she cut her hair, I love it she is so funny! I want to see some pictures of the prego Janet!!! I am so excited for the new babe!
It is about time you updated your blog and I see you found out how to add other blogs on the side!! I leave Tues. so if I do not see you before then have a merry christmas!! I will see you when you have the baby!!
Janet I am greiving over your tape for you! I would DIE if that happened but I guess it is not the end of the world. The pictures of the kids are great and the story of the hair in the fridge is classic.
