Santa, Big Girl

Our little Maddie seems to be obsessed with being a "big girl". Not only that, but loves to distinguish the difference between big girls and babies. The other day I was singing that "Santa baby" song, while giving them a bath and she thought that was hilarious. "Santa isn't a baby!" she said. Then she proceeded to sing "Santa big girl" for the remainder of her bath. Apparently I need to teach her that there are big boys in the world as well.

I am officially in the Christmas mood! I usually wait to decorate till after Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't wait any longer this year. This morning I got everything out and the kids are just thrilled. I'm just waiting for Ben to wake up, (he started the night shift last night) so I can retrieve the Christmas tree from under our bed. One day we won't have to store such things under our bed b/c of a lack of space!

Which brings me to my next topic...beds. I'm having a bit of furniture envy lately. I just can't get the idea of wanting new furniture out of my head. I'd love a bed and new dresser for our room as well as some sort of Entertainment center for our growing TVs. Is it safe to say, that if the TVs grow, so should the furniture around them? I know, I know...I'm being too worldly! I'm just hoping Santa will be kind this year bring me some, but it's kinda a tall order. I'll let you know how it turns out!

i hear ya on the furniture thing. We have space for all sorts of furniture that we have yet to buy. I really just have to walk past the furniture stores with my head down, it isn't happening for us. Not all at once anyways. . . i guess that will give me things to look forward to.

I am in the same boat as you and Kim!! Oh how I want to buy furniture galore to fill all the empty space we have. Plus none of us have a bed set... we still use those cheap metal bed frames that hold up the box spring and you kick your foot on them every time you walk by.... but that will all have to wait... some day!

I am so anxious to put up christmas stuff too cindy!! I just can't get anything out of the garage because I don't fit anywhere in the garage... I would get stuck! i am patiently waiting for Scott to have some days off this week to pull everything out for me... yea for Christmas!!

I could wait either to get the Christmas out. We got ours out this weekend and went and saw Santa at the mall it was a lot of fun.

I love the "santa big girl" comment by Maddie! She seems like such a fun little girl. Kids are just always learning and soaking everything in, but how some of it comes back out of their mouths, cracks me up!

Haha, Apey about the stubbing your toe on the cheap metal frame!! I can't tell you how many times that has happened to me!
