The Nativity Scene
Penelope was too busy contemplating the intricacies of this bow to participate.
Moses (struggling to unwrap our new globe): Mom! This is really tight!
And it has the whole entire world in it!
Yes, that is Penelope standing up all by herself.
After crawling through a puddle of melted snow?
Lighting and sending off paper lanterns in the park.
Herbie: I know 3 Sandy's
One is Sandy our grandma.
One is Sandy Hixton (our neighbor).
And one is Sandy the hurricane!
Ruby: I know another one.
Herbie: Who??
Ruby (quite smug): SanDi-Ego!
This toy -- whatever it's called -- was a big hit with all the kids.
Expecto Patronum!!
Expelliarmus!!
A wrapping paper roll for me???
I got this coupon book from Ruby. Inside were the usual -- I will do the dishes 10 times; I will watch Penelope while you nap 15 times ...
But, the last page contained these gems: I will clean your room ten times, and I will clean my room forever.
Woo-Hoo!!
(I'm told she has Woo's handwriting.)
The "Healthy Lip Shine" is my gift from Herbie.
Me (absentmindedly reading the label): Healthy Lip Shine ... Hmmm, that sounds good.
My lips are kind of chapped right now.
Herbie (very pleased with himself): Oh! I didn't even know that's what you wanted!
Either did I! (But I love it.)

I love Ruby's coupon book! And the last page is very sweet! Ruby is such a understanding daughter every mother might dream to have. :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny and cute! Looks like a good Christmas was had by all. It's great when a wrapping paper tube is more of a hit than any toy! Love the coupon book. I'm still trying to get the boys to pay up with the ones they made me. My oldest is 37..any hope of getting my dishes washed even once?? Oh well, it's the thought that counts!
