It's the most wonderful time of the year.....

Jackie is learning Christmas songs and singing along with the 5' Santa in the living room. Heard this morning...."There'll be much mistletoeing and folks will be yelling..." first thing this morning...
Now she's sitting down to breakfast and pipes up "Hey - can I get a drink overhere? I can't take it much longer!" Ahhhh....it's going to be a good day!

aiming high

so I'm looking at Jackie today and tell her that I think that she is getting taller. She stands up against the wall that we measure the kids on and - nope - she's the same as she was in August.....
well - that's not o.k. with Jackie - so she grabs her own pencils - stands up against the wall - and draws a line over her head about 3 inches up....
then writes her name on it laughing manic laugh....
Loving it....

hmmm.....

It's still dark out and Jackie is next to my bed.
"Mom, can you get me some tape?"
Opening one eye, I answer "What do you need tape for?"
"Don't ask any questions, just get me the tape".

hmmmmmm

We have a WINNER!

Dinner tonite. Jackie hands me her vegetables. "Here ya go Mom! You win the broccoli!"
I think I've been had.
