Friday Five: Nothing Better

1. My bestie and I decided to celebrate Christmas facetiming. Funny thing is that all we could talk about were recent blog posts and cooing over our babies. Life changes people like that - not that I mind staring at this face over hers (and Mellow over mine) any day!

Baby Bo is so sweet!

2. Our wonderful neighbors gave Mellow a watch for Christmas. We spent the next three days getting updates every three minutes that is was four five nine, mama, it's four five nine! That totally falls under the learning category - surely not the annoying category.

3. Mellow celebrated the last day of Christmas vacation by awarding my Parent of the Year. I let him pour most of a box of Lucky Charms into a bowl and then he picked out the marshmallows for breakfast. I use the terms "awarding" and "let" very loosely.

4. I use to put my name/heading on every picture and file and everything that went on the interwebs. As if someone would want to take something of mine. I did have a flicker account onceuponatime that refuses to be deleted and have thrown around ridding myself of instagram because of their crappy and capitalistic new policy. Whatever. If someone as famous as Heather Armstrong (dooce.com) can have her pictures stolen and reprinted in to a pub ad, I don't stand a chance.



5. Mellow worked really hard in the kitchen Thursday night to make his own lunch. He kept shooing us out so that he could finished. He hulled and washed his own strawberries, put three different kinds of cheese in three different tupperware containers, squeeze yogurt, jello pudding and a spoon, juice box, a sandwich from three days ago, two granola bars, and a bag of gummies. He was so proud of himself that he could barely stand it. We had to work together to condense it all into his lunchbox for Friday, but I did let him take it all. Those preschool teachers are going to think I am a crazy person.
