Reindeer Tracks

Early this morning, Daddy took Murffee and Arlo out to potty and Murffee began sniffing around the yard like nobody’s business, so Daddy went over to see what he was up to and discovered clear as could be a set at least nine reindeer tracks in the yard…

This morning got off to an otherwise rough start as Daddy got the two of you up and moving (which wasn’t difficult, Bodhi, for you since you got up very early and got in bed with Mommy and DaddyJ) and changed diapers and got each of you your juice and Mommy her coffee, and then Daddy had to get off to a doctor appointment with Dr. Hoshaw.

Daddy later received a report from Mommy that the three of you had tons of fun putting on your makeup and jewelry, Bodhi, and showing off for each other. Even though Mommy had a late start for her formal work day because Daddy was at the doctor’s office for hours, she said it was worth it to spend time with the two of you, Bodhi and BuddhaJ

By the time Daddy got home, the two of you were finishing lunch and not long afterwards, both of you were down for your afternoon nap while Mommy went off to work. Mommy thinks Daddy napped, too, but Daddy’s knee is hurting so bad he can’t nap…honest, MommyJ

After nap time, and while you two were eating dinner, Aunt Susan stopped by to drop off a present for each of you! She said she couldn’t stay to visit because she had just gotten off work and was tired and trying to get home, but she commented she loved what she could see of the houseJ

A little later, Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron stopped by and watched both of you while Mommy and Daddy went to the Mall and had another secret visit with Santa. When we got home, Grandmoo was there taking care of Murffee and Arlo, and afterwards came in and spent time playing with you Bodhi and helping you clean up your messy roomJ

Mommy had to go back out again for work, and Daddy stayed up watching Max and Ruby with you Bodhi before you said you were finally ready to go to bedJ

So, now the two of you are sound asleep, and even though Daddy is tired, I don’t think I can sleep because I want to see if I can catch some reindeer practice landing in our back yard…

"How do I look Momma?"

"No Bubba, No!"  "Don't eat the brush!"

"Give it back Buddha, I still have to give you a smokey eye!"

"I want to do my own smokey eye!"

"You don't have my color of concealer Momma?"

"Look at those smokey eyes!"

"Just my color!"

"Putting on makeup is hard work Momma!"

"Buddha and I look beautiful!"

"I know you say I don't need makeup Momma, but this was so much fun!"
