How do you talk to your kids about molestation? -- I had a long talk with Alex this morning, because of this video.

Are you a bargain shopper? -- I'm not. But I hate shopping, so it's rare that I shop anyway.

Are you okay with pulling your kids out of school? -- For us, it's a case-by-case kinda thing.

« view 20: merry christmas! (to the tune of "the 12 days of christmas") »

Remember our Christmas card outtake?  These photos were the ones that actually made it into this year's card.

The 12 Days of Chookooloonks (as adapted from my Twitter stream yesterday)

On the 12th day of Christmas, Marz and Alex gave to me:

TWELVE big fat snuggles!

ELEVEN funny ACCENTS!

TEN "Come-and-play-Mom"'s!

NINE Christmas Stories ("you'll shoot your eye out, kid!")

EIGHT veggie OMELETS!

SEVEN gifts a-shakin'!

SIX "Rufus-stop-that"s!

FIIIIIIIIVE CUPS OF TEEEEEEAAA!

FOUR "How-many-days-left"s,

THREE pancakes,

TWO rum punches,

And a LOOOVVIIING FAAAAAAMIIIIILLLY!!!!!!

 

Merry, merry Christmas, from all of us to all of you!

 

 

SongThe 12 days of Christmas as performed by The Bird and the Bee.  As good as this song could ever get.  Have a joy-filled day, everyone.

You are fantastic! I'm not sure I could make up a song like that, but I do think that the rum punches need to be higher up in the order, don't you?

Happy, Merry, Karen. I'm looking forward to another year with you, your writing, and your pictures (and your love Thursdays!) in it!

Warmly,

~Chili
