Pedro Jones








Love the fact that our kids BELIEVE. Claire was so convinced this was the real Santa. She said, "no one is going to believe me that I got to meet Santa Claus." So cute. 
Our elf, Pedro Jones has been up to no good. He is all about having fun, making messes and enjoying life.  He fits right into our family with all the craziness that has ensued as of late.

I noticed Pedro John writes much like Kara Leigh! I am surprised your girls didn't notice.

I was more concerned that Pedro Jones has suffered a brain injury of some sort. It must be pretty bad considering he doesn't know if he is Pedro John or Pedro jones!

Ours is nameless in the box! I'm sure he is amazing!

Love ya,

Jessica

Ooo, you caught that, Jessica. Pretty good. He is an elf of many names.
@ Lisa--I didn't know you were doing the elf thing. I'd love to see some pictures of Tor's antics or is he boring and well behaved?

So far, Tor has taken a hot air balloon ride on a helium balloon...hung from cupboard on candy cane...not very exciting. I have lots of ideas via pinterest! Maybe that is where Pedro John/Jones gets his?

Could be! Interestingly, everytime Chris gets up first, Pedro is boring--sitting on a roll of tape, hanging from a light, for example. However, he is Mr. Crazy and Fun when I am first to arise. Why is that? Hmmm.

Tor took a bubble bath today...much like Pedro John/Jones.

Ha. Ours stayed inside the roll of tape with scissors in his hand. I guess you can tell who got up first. ;)

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
