That's Evie's version of Christmas Lights. Sterling's version two years ago was Mit-mit 'ites, now he's got it down to Christmas Wights. Poor unintelligible children...how will they get through life... One of my favorites from Sterling right now is, 'Do we going to bed now?' '
Are we going to bed now...?' I say. It hasn't sunk in yet though. My favorite of Evie's is, 'Ma whore." Excuse me? Translation: 'My stroller.' We have a pretty good time with that one. "Is that Daddy's stroller?" "No. No Dada whore, ma whore!" Good times...
Anyway, Doug put up our Christmas lights this year and did a fine job! Our house looks like a Gingerbread house- the kids love it! We've been driving the kids around different neighborhoods to check out other lights too. Doug likes to drive by real slow while we peer out our car windows at other peoples' houses, sometimes he pulls over and stops altogether and shuts our headlights off which makes me pretty uncomfortable. The homeowners frequently look out their windows at us trying to figure out what our problem is or if they know us- next time I think we should all get out and see if we could score some dinner. Last week some guy stopped working in the garage to come see who was casing the joint...
Tonight we went to the Zoo Lights as part of a combined FHE group. Our hostess was so kind and made all the kids a goodie bag with cookies and brought Ghiradelli's as reinforcement for the parents- Thank you! One of the Zoo trains was broken, so we waited extra long for a train and all 21 of us (10 parents, 11 kids) crammed into 4 teeny rows in the train car to make sure we all made it on together. It was great fun and the kids loved the Christmas lights of course.
