Wise Guys

Daddy had left the characters from the nativity set at the old house, all lined up in the basement room. What were they lined up for? The bathroom, of course. When Madison opened the bathroom door - there was a camel, sitting on the potty!

The nativity set made it to the new house today, along with a bunch of other stuff we brought over. Each wise man was seated in a car seat, properly fastened in with their seatbelts on - right there with Madison in the middle. It looked rather funny, actually. Especially when Daddy put a ballcap on Balthazar sideways like he was a hip-hop star. Ahhh yeah!

Mommy got us some neat DVDs this week - a large collection of Christmas episodes and movies from the past. We watched "I Love Lucy" and "The Andy Griffith Show" and even an episode of "The Honeymooners." Great older stuff to watch - really funny too.

Today we purchased for Madison some tickets to "The Nutcracker." As our time is supremely limited in December because of play practice, we'll be going to the ballet the day after Thanksgiving. It should be wonderful. Madison will also see more dancers this weekend as we return to see "The Gift," which is coming to Gainesville on Saturday and Sunday.

Mommy and Daddy vs. the Waterbed

Daddy has confirmed what Mommy has been saying all along: draining the waterbed is not working out the way the instructions say. Nor does it work when we follow anyone else's suggestions either. Hopefully we can figure that out soon: Ba-Ba and Nana are coming soon and we've only got one bed right now...!

This morning we got almost finished trimming the tree. Madison was very helpful taking all the ornaments out of their boxes and putting hooks on them as well. Then, she'd place them on the tree at just the right height. The tree is almost done - we'll post some pictures when we've finished...
