The Phantom Tollbooth

Caroline's School has a Drama Club that puts on a production every year. This year's play was The Phantom Tollbooth. The kids did a fabulous job. I think it might have been just about the best one so far. Caroline was in the chorus.

Ella had a great time clapping!

Avoiding the Chaos

So what do you do when you are one, your three siblings are arguing and your mother is yelling at the top of her lungs to be heard?

You fall asleep in your highchair and avoid the whole scene!

O Christmas Tree

We finally got around to putting up the Christmas tree this weekend. Since we have put the addition to the house we have room again for a real tree. After we got it all up I was missing the artificial one we had been using so I put that one up too! Twice the Christmas cheer! It took us until yesterday to actually fish decorating. Ella was really enjoying taking the decorations off and throwing the "balls". We would tell her to stop and she would try to put them back, but that didn't work very well. I was thinking I was in for a season of redecorating the tree everyday so I planned to get a baby gate system to put around it. Fortunately since she got up this morning she has been ignoring it. I am hoping that lasts!
