Christmas lights and Survivor

Well, not much going on around here. I think I'm finished Christmas shopping. I hope I am. Now I'm just trying to enjoy the holiday season. We went to see a Christmas light display on Saturday night, and Josh loved it. Lexi slept, Courtney and Brittney froze-- it was like that scene from Christmas Vacation... "What do you think, Audrey?" "Her eyes are frozen, Clark." I bundled Miss Alex up pretty good.



She's growing up so fast. She's such a sweetie.





Well, I think I'm happy with the outcome of Survivor, for the most part. Denise was way too passive, and it sounds like she lied about all the stuff about losing her job and only making $7/hour and all that, so booooo. Amanda just fell apart at Final 4. I think she realized she should have ditched Todd by that point. Every time they showed her I yelled at the TV that she needed to knock it off with that I'm-so-sorry-I-feel-so-bad look. Courtney was surprisingly compelling with her arguments. But Todd really did work that jury. So props to him. I'm excited for the next season, though! Superfans v. Favorites has the potential to be totally awesome. I told my family that I'd love to go on Survivor and they laughed at me. Big meanies. I wouldn't be able to do it physically, though.

So, what else? Josh painted his toenails a really lovely combination of red and lime green, for Christmas I guess. So that was nice. He got it all over his toes, but not so much on the floor or anything else, so whatever. A lot of my English students are also in Child Development classes, so they come in and tell me when they go into the daycare to work with the kids. One of my girls told me that she was going to steal Josh and take him home with her.... I told her she'd bring him back after 5 minutes. Is that so mean? He's just a crazy little boy! The high schoolers brought cupcakes, and his teacher said he felt bad that he couldn't have one. She was able to cheer him up quickly, but it makes me feel sad. Luckily he's really good about not eating what he shouldn't, and knowing what he can't have, so we don't have to battle him on it.

Well, I guess I better go get some things done. I'm supposed to be working on a web page I'm doing for school. It's fun, but it's taking me forever. I have to do some laundry, I need to wrap some presents, I'm supposed to go to the store and buy something Courtney needs for tomorrow.... Hmmmm... It's 8:00. Guess I better get on it.
