33 Degrees

That was the outside temperature when I pulled out of the driveway to take the Things to school today.  33 degrees.  And I had to fight w/Thing Two to get her to wear a jacket.  Ugh.

Sweater Girl

And next is the sophisticated Thing Two, illustrating the progress to date on Girlfriend’s School Spirit Sweater (a.k.a. her “something to wear” Christmas present*).

 

* From an online article I read a few years ago about not over-buying at Christmas for your kids.  The writer suggested getting them something to read, something to play with, and something to wear.  As far as OUR gifts for them (as opposed to Santa’s), we’re pretty much sticking to that this year.  Our kids get gifts from SO many people (three sets of grandparents, multiple aunts and uncles, friends, unexpected places, etc.) that we really don’t need to give them much.  Oh, and at our house Santa doesn’t bring big stuff.  He tends to bring stuff like personalized Christmas ornaments and dollar-store type stuff and lets us get credit for the good stuff, like Barbies.

The Mighty Quinn

 

The handsome guy in that first picture is Suzanne’s pal who donated the other half of the chromosomes to create this adorable baby (Don’t get any ideas, ladies; he swings the other direction.).
