Surprise!

Time for hot chocolate and a warm fire. (Perhaps a little something "extra" in the adult cocoa).

What Did You Just Say?

I used my Mom-Bionic-Hearing the other day to find out (by way of pretending to bake in the kitchen while the girls were eating at the dining table) that my oldest has decided to have a boyfriend. Hmmm...

This boyfriend is her best friends brother, he's also 12. Hmmm...

The rules have changed. (The phone conversation will go like this now, "Hello Ann, can my brother and I come over and play?" Me: 'You, yes. Your brother, NO!').

I've talked to my daughter about what she thinks having a boyfriend means, what she's expecting from this change in status. Her description sounded tame to me, pretty much hanging out like they've always done. So, of course I say, 'Why do you have to use the term "boyfriend/girlfriend"?' Her enlightened answer? "I dunno".

Time to up my game. I wonder if Martha Stewart has a spy gear line?

Merry Christmas

Jolly days from The Harrison's!

Funny... now that Katie's 12 her expression is the same as it was then.

Have a wonderful holiday! Keep smiling!
