Happy Holidays, Gorgeouses! We’ve been enjoying Hanukkah here at the O House, and at it’sgrandma and papa’shere’s house, and at friends’ houses. It’s been non-stop. In fact, our house may as well be a toy store now. Toys EVERYWHERE. It’s insanity.


Party at it’sgrandma’s. Can you count how many dogs there are in this picture?

The monkeys did REALLY well with their gifts — which is why I’m EXHAUSTED right now. Who knew a 3-year-old’s toys could be so COMPLICATED.

I’m also exhausted because Rascal has a cold. It’s been months since my kids have been sick and THE DAY WE GO TO THE DOCTOR to get Rascal his 15-month shots, he gets sick. Go figure. I’m not sure if he’s sick FROM the shots. He’s all congested and barking and just a wee bit feverish. Anyway, he has this new thing where, every chance he gets, he plants a gooey (SNOTTY) kiss on MY MOUTH. (First Minden now RASCAL!?) It’s really cute, I know. But, TOTALLY GROSS.

So, I probably swallowed, oh, a half a pound of snot through the course of the day. And, I’m feeling it now. Must get to bed early….

But, first, check our decorations! It’s not a Christmas tree or anything, as Monkey hoped, but it’s something….

Blue tinsel with silver dreidels and Jewish Stars hanging from it….

Sigh…, the banner that was supposed to last forever…, but ALAS….

“I broke da ledder, Mama! I broke da ledder!”

Oh well….

These holiday days are long — no morning preschool! So, again, I’m beyond tired. Playing playing playing from dawn till dusk. BUT, I rediscovered afternoon bath time. Look how busy they are…, AND CONTAINED….

And, Gorgeouses…. It’s the Monkey. She named ONE of her many bath toys. Well, they all have gibberish names like Sippa and Shippa and Kippa, or descriptive names like Lion or Elephant or Pinky Bear. Except for one of them. One of them has an, erm, fancy name. This one….

Meet…FRANCY:

Francy? FRANCY?

Not only does, erm, FRANCY get a fancy name. But, she also gets special treatment. A luxury shower….

And, a tub-side BED….

Ahhh! That’s the life!

And, speaking of bed…. Goodnight, Gorgeouses!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Peace, Love, Compassion….

Namaste…,

P.S.: I’m taking a WEE break from blogging over the holidays. I’ll be blogging, sure, but not as regularly for the next week or so. I need the time to just chill. Stay tuned, though, for Cheaty’s Annual New Year’s Resolutions!!!
