Firstly ... my semester is over!! Let there be much rejoicing!!! Ok, technically I still have to take a practice NCLEX exam tomorrow, but the the grade-getting portion of my semester is over! And now I have 5 weeks with which to focus on my family, celebrate Christmas, make a trip halfway across the country and clean my house.
One of the unintended consequences of my chosen career is that my kids play a little differently than most kids. See this pile of toys? Do you know what they have in common? They all have eyes. And the Monkey checked every one of them for pupillary response with his flashlight.
Then he decided he wanted to "ride" the trucks in the book we were reading. So he climbed on and rode ... with kitty of course.
But wait, there's more cuteness! The boys had their Christmas programs at school yesterday. Who was a penguin? That's right. Gummy Bear was a penguin! He was very attached to that belly, by the way. He wore it all evening.
I don't know this little man, but he was cracking me up. He has a serious future in theatre if this little performance was any example. He was so intensely singing about Frosty, and Rudolf, and Hanukkah that I laughed every time I looked at him.
Before the end, of course, Bear started getting bored. So he started balancing on one leg. But hey, at least he was still singing.
Cheeky Monkey's program was a little less performance and a little more fashion show. The kids walked the red carpet and brought presents to their mom's. So. Stinking. Cute. His teacher announced him as "Cheeky Monkey ... and Kitty!" I'm so glad we've found this school. I didn't get a great picture because he took one step out from the curtain and froze, so I spent the rest of the time coaxing him into my lap, where he buried his head on my shoulder for the rest of the performance.
Anyhoo, I'm off to grab my little men.

Adorable! And I don't really see Bear as a pumpkin, but I am seeing a penguin perhaps? Enjoy your break..I mean really..enjoy it alot, it may be the last non-working holiday for awhile.
I think she meant a penguin Cathy, wish you could have been here. They are just so darn cute. As is their parents. I got a chance to look at my daughter and my son-in-law a few moments before they saw me and trust me I thought THEY were pretty darn cute, but hey that's just the mom in me coming out.
Oops, I did. I have no idea where pumpkin came from. Guess my brain is shot from the end of the semester.
