This morning, during breakfast, I asked Matthew what he thought we should get Amy for Christmas. This is the list he gave me.
Flowers, M&M's, ox cart, ball, games, pancake mix, candy canes, new stockings, ghost costume, church shoes, crayons, wreath, little people, animals, watch, kids, and stuff to make stuff with.
I had Matthew and Zachary with me yesterday as I was running some errands. We were listening to Christmas music on the radio when some commercials came on. One was for the Christmas open house at Maceys the grocery store. I was only partially listening to something about specials on food, store prizes etc. as the commercial ended with "Let Maceys help you with your holiday plans."
Matthew: Mom, we need to go to Maceys.
Mom: Why?
Matthew: Because they will help you with the holidays.
Mom (trying very hard not to laugh): Do you think mom needs some help?
Matthew: Yes.
Matthew came home from preschool on Wednesday with some rainbow jello. (Thank you Ms. Roper!) After Matthew finished telling me about it, he informed me that he was going to put it in the fridge. "Nobody gets to eat it mom because it is very special. It's very important. It's very MINE."
It's 10:35 on Monday morning. I should be doing the dishes, cleaning the bathrooms, or finishing up things for Christmas. Instead I am sitting here in my pajamas reading random things on the computer. And the funny things is, I don't feel bad at all. Hope you all have a great Monday. Happy December!
