We survived the holidays and welcomed the new year just relaxing with family members. Michael's Dad, Brother and brother's girlfriend visited with us and helped us ring in the new year in our townhouse. Sebastian only lasted until 11 p.m. and Ava was out by 8 p.m.Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00325442545246710477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984818740810827385.post-28086069625200802962010-12-17T15:05:00.000-05:002010-12-17T15:05:35.190-05:00The "Why's"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We got another dusting of snow on Thursday so the schools had a two hour delay on Friday morning.

One of her questions this morning was why I was putting makeup on with an eye "broom" (instead of brush). It's funny, but true....why do they call it a brush when it doesn't look like a brush at all. It does look like a miniature broom ;-)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8EahjDzm1hY/TQu_xFQly9I/AAAAAAAAI_Q/KPadbmXN3pE/s1600/Eye+broom.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8EahjDzm1hY/TQu_xFQly9I/AAAAAAAAI_Q/KPadbmXN3pE/s400/Eye+broom.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ava asked why she sees three Ava's :-)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8EahjDzm1hY/TQu_uHBhPRI/AAAAAAAAI_M/gVvOtaUMCL0/s1600/Ava+Mirror+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_8EahjDzm1hY/TQu_uHBhPRI/AAAAAAAAI_M/gVvOtaUMCL0/s400/Ava+Mirror+2.JPG" width="296" /></a></div>Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00325442545246710477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984818740810827385.post-9858996715028238722010-12-15T14:28:00.001-05:002010-12-15T14:43:24.457-05:00Santa Baby!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On Sunday morning we took the kids out to breakfast before visiting Santa at the mall. This has become our family tradition for the past three years. Although this year, I didn't want to put up a Christmas tree in the townhouse because we would only be home for one weekend in December.

We moved into the townhouse rental in October and have been adjusting to new work schedule and school schedules. Last weekend was the best weekend ever. We went out on Friday night and looked at the holiday lights after dinner. On Saturday Sebastian went to a birthday party and sleepover and Ava went over to a friend's house while Michael and I got to dress up and attend his company holiday party. On Sunday we got to decorate the tree and watch A Christmas Story with the kids on our brand new sectional. We even got our first snow covering on Sunday night. Now if I can get through the rest of the holiday season.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8EahjDzm1hY/TQkJHNCClEI/AAAAAAAAI-g/EG107escFek/s1600/Michael%2526Mo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_8EahjDzm1hY/TQkJHNCClEI/AAAAAAAAI-g/EG107escFek/s400/Michael%2526Mo.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Sebastian lost two of his baby teeth this past week. You can hardly notice the gaps on the upper row because his adult teeth have crowded out the baby teeth. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first time he lost his tooth, he came into our room at 2:30 a.m. to let us know. Michael was barely awake so I tucked Sebastian back in bed. I took some money out of my purse and put it on my nightstand along with the tooth. I was going to put the money under the pillow before we got up in the morning. Luckily, Ava came in around 5:30 a.m. looking for her blankie and I remembered to fulfill the Tooth Fairy duty.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Later in the day, Sebastian brought up the Tooth Fairy while he was doing his homework. He said he didn't think there was such thing as a Tooth Fairy. I asked him how he came to that conclusion or why he was thinking about it. He said he was awake this morning and he was pretending to be asleep. He felt a hand go under his pillow. I asked him to describe what the Tooth Fairy was wearing and he said he couldn't see because his eyes were closed. But he could tell it was probably Mommy or Daddy. He said the Tooth Fairy was wearing pajamas. I think he's unto me :-(</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Michael had a funny story to tell me after the kids went to bed. He said he almost forgot to put money under the pillow so when he went to make Sebastian's bed, he noticed that Sebastian hadn't checked yet. Michael pulled up the pillow and slipped the money under. He noticed that I had already put some money there and took back his money. In the nick of time too because Sebastian came into the room. Boy, wouldn't Sebastian have been surprised if there was double the amount left by the Tooth Fairy. Sebastian told me that his friend got a whole quarter for his tooth. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sebastian came into our room at 6:30 a.m. this morning to tell us his second tooth came out. The Tooth Fairy has to make another appearance tonight. We'll see how things go in the morning ;-D I think the Tooth Fairy theory is going to be blown out of the water (from a nine year old standpoint anyway). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8_BiCTcflZemoYnZjOQAzBYIGe2QPdTbbthyphenhyphen9VBDrVekrEsRIoOkUXyw-9D-DbZ9cDR7xhVpFHpVP-yWdT0_v5CNJRUHjH0jarN7r0qxdn7RJqPWRolh4nwzBEp2p0MHd-LfXiwq4ew/s1600/IMG_7612.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif8_BiCTcflZemoYnZjOQAzBYIGe2QPdTbbthyphenhyphen9VBDrVekrEsRIoOkUXyw-9D-DbZ9cDR7xhVpFHpVP-yWdT0_v5CNJRUHjH0jarN7r0qxdn7RJqPWRolh4nwzBEp2p0MHd-LfXiwq4ew/s320/IMG_7612.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3XaQsvig42JLnxIdr6y2e4Tsh9f6Yua5-vTSUzHDLLLklnGkgBJk5NifRbYillaEuqwMMkIH8jRMrdkV0h_hZQse58JVsAyyXpiROvr-H65Sk1pqmNrZJ4RfV_IuCvb6xAVrZJItU7rk/s1600/IMG_7609.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3XaQsvig42JLnxIdr6y2e4Tsh9f6Yua5-vTSUzHDLLLklnGkgBJk5NifRbYillaEuqwMMkIH8jRMrdkV0h_hZQse58JVsAyyXpiROvr-H65Sk1pqmNrZJ4RfV_IuCvb6xAVrZJItU7rk/s320/IMG_7609.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Moniquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00325442545246710477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984818740810827385.post-36095797717349288562010-09-17T15:48:00.000-04:002010-09-17T15:48:30.014-04:00Another celebration<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We went to a spanish tapas restaurant for my birthday over the summer.

Ava's personality has bloomed over the summer and she's definitely coming into her own. Ava has been in such a good mood this week, both in the morning and after daycare. She says the darnest things and I wish I could only remember half of them. <br />
<br />
Senario 1: I wanted to put two piggy tails in Ava's hair today. Sometimes I loop her hair under the rubber bands so that her hair is off her neck and face (like in the pic below). She told me that she didn't want "balloons" in her hair. I never made reference to balloons before and I asked her who called them balloons? She replied, "Ava does."<br />

Scenario 2: Sebastian was packing his backpack for school and he asked his Dad where the lunchbox was. Michael had given him lunch money to buy lunch in the cafeteria. Sebastian put the money is his pocket and had already forgotten about it. So Michael asked Sebastian (sarcastically), "what do you use that's on top of your head?" Ava was drawing on the table and just when you think she's not paying attention, she answers, "BRAIN."<br />
<br />
Scenario 3: Ava has taken on her Daddy's sense of humor and funny sayings. Every morning when I get her strapped into the carseat, she'll say, "Thank you.....Come Agaaain!" Another of her favorite sayings is "Nice job Einstein!" That was Daddy's phrase whenever somebody dropped something. Now Ava calls everyone Einstein, LOL!<br />

Scenario 4: Ava has recently discovered the difference between sexes. Even though she has taken hundred's of baths with her brother in the past, the question never came up. It's been a couple months since they have taken a bath together. Yesterday, Ava was inquisitive about her Daddy's "parts" and proceeded to point it out. Since Sebastian was our first child, we never had to worry about this question (not quite like Ava's questioning). Of course Daddy told her it wasn't nice to point and she concluded that Daddy just had an "accident" and it was perfectly acceptable. Hey, accidents happen!<br />

text-align: center;">A funny story...Michael and I had the luxury of a "date night" thanks to both grandparents. We went to one of our favorite BYOB restaurants. We usually sit down and Michael goes over to the wine store a block away to pick up a bottle of vino. Since we've been living in MD for a few months, we were unaware that our favorite wine store had closed in PA. So here we are sitting outside without any wine ;-( Our waitress over hears our conversation and woes about the lack of wine and said that the store owner next door often times has wine bottles. A few minutes later, the store owner comes out to speak with someone she knows at the next table. Michael goes over and asks if she has any wine and she goes back to the store and comes out with the larger size wine bottle. She said to cork up the rest of the unused bottle and return it to her. We offer her some money for saving us and she said to return the favor next time we are in town by dropping off a bottle of wine. We told her that we live out of state now and she took our offer.
