Look closely. Very closely...
As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons.

(1) what is a white elephant party?
(2) did you cut her head hair to be able to give her leg hair?
A white elephant is similar to the yankee swap in NE. It is supposed to be a funny gift exchange with a piece of value to it. So, the barbie was funny, the razor had value. The sudoku book was funny, the gift card was value. The humor can be in a variety of forms--nasty t shirt, cookbook with ironic title, etc. They aren't always funny though. This was for the New Year's Party, but we also had one for chris' work party. We brought gift cards as it was a formal event. As always, the audience and setting needs to be taken into consideration. That's the jist.
I did cut the hair on the barbie. I had to make sure to choose one with easily accessible hair (I simply removed the box to do the dirty work then returned her so she'd look untouched).
Disgusting huh?!!
