Brother Aaron Saves the Day!

Ahhh Saturday morning!  The day Mommy always hopes you two will sleep a little later than usual!  Daddy works Saturday mornings, 8-10am, so he always hopes for a little extra rest on Sundays.  You two were hearing Mommy's prayers because though I wanted to sleep all day, 9am was fine by me!  Buddha, you did wake at your usual 7am, but thankfully you decided to go back to sleep when you didn't hear any noises around the house.  Mommy's feet were definitely in no hurry to hit the floor either! 

After you, Buddha decided enough was enough, you woke your Momma and your sister up. Mommy got both of your diapers changed, dressed, and fed.  We were then onto decorating each of your personal Christmas trees for your room.  Mommy has yet to give this house a thorough cleaning, but I figured the trees would make a mess, we might as well get them out of the way!  Bodhi, you ended up decorating both trees :)  You loved it!  They both turned out very cute, however, yours Buddha is sparse compared to your sister's.  After Christmas this year we'll have to pick you up some ornaments :)  Sister Kelly and Governor came by to help Daddy set up our new wireless printer/fax machine, but right as they began working on it our power went out.  Today was the third day in a row we've lost power.  Today 100 people in Howard County were without power, and we were one of them.  It didn't matter much to you two though... you both were busy decorating and getting ready for nap time. 

After nap time, Mommy and Daddy took you to get you both some breakfast foods, juice, and we also stocked up on some dinner items at Sam's Club.  Afterwards, Mommy ran into Target to pick up some diapers, and we were off to have dinner.  Daddy had the brilliant idea to try a new restaurant in town.  You'll both soon discover, the big excitement in Kokomo is going out to eat.  We have so many restaurants, it's the only thing to do :(  Mommy is not going to mention the name of the restaurant because our silence was bought!  While waiting for our food to be served (sitting right beside the kitchen door...that's where they sit people with kids as to not disturb others) Daddy spotted a rat trap and yep, there was a big ol' dead rat in it!  Daddy didn't tell Mommy because Mommy has a weak stomach, and well, I couldn't have eaten just thinking about a rat in general, let alone it laying dead beside me with it's head chopped off! Daddy called the manager over to our table and whispered in his ear.  Mommy of course couldn't stand not knowing what was going on, as my stomach started to churn as my imagination went wild.  Daddy had a look on his face like he was going to pass out.  Once he told Mommy, Mommy thought to herself, every restaurant in Kokomo has em' so just don't think about it.  However, the Manhattan Mommy ordered smelled and most definitely tasted funny,  neither Mommy nor Daddy could eat our dinners.  We packed it up for Mr. Murff and Mr. Arlo hee/hee  So, Daddy when checking out was asked by the same manager how everything was.  Daddy said, "you already know how everything was, but since you're young, let me just tell you... if I were you, I'd say this meal is on us and please don't post this on Facebook." LOL, your Daddy sure gets things done!  Mommy and Daddy both agreed, the tip we left was even too much for the meal we were served, but they did have your mess to pick up, Buddha! 

Once we arrived back home, Mommy unpacked the car and Daddy got you both dressed in your p.j.'s.  Mommy then rocked you to sleep Jude, and Bodhi, you curdled up downstairs.  Daddy suckered Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron to come over and again help with the technology issues.  They were here until just before midnight (that's why this blog is so late).  Poor Aaron!  Mommy told Aaron he'd get a nice Christmas present for putting up with all of Daddy's demands!  Brother Aaron and Sister Kelly were so nice about helping.  Sister Kelly even helped Mommy switch over our Christmas tree stands (ours wasn't holding up with little Buddha and Aunt Ti had given me one that she couldn't use).  Sister Kelly even curdled up with you Bodhi while Mommy went back to work for about an hour and a half.  When Mommy arrived back from work, Sister Kelly had put you to bed :(  Mommy hates when I don't get to put you to bed!  I did get a kiss before I left though :)  

"Ooooh a box of goodies!"

Buddha you could have cared less about decorating... other than wrapping the ribbon around your neck like a necklace hee/hee
