A mishmash of mishmashing

Today is an odd day, although in a good way. One of my visiting teachers offered to take the kids for a while so I could do some Christmas shopping, or whatever my heart so desired. I opted to keep Fynn, as his face sometimes melts off when left in the company of others, but Ewan was very excited to go play. Especially when he saw all the Thomas the Tank Engine toys, including the big train table. (What IS it about that show...? It's like...magic...or something.) So Fynn and I went to Target (but, of course.) We then came home and I cleaned the kitchen like a mad woman, and now Fynn is napping. So here I am with, like, nothing to do. It's FAB. I am aware my posting has been quite boring, and perhaps you are sick of seeing pictures. If so, boo hoo for you. Something crazy/charming/funny/sad/scary should happen soon, and you'll be the first to know. (On another note, I must say a public THANK YOU! from the bottom of my heart to the owner of the Gold Taurus.)

The other day, I was running around cleaning, and became aware that Fynn had been veeeeerrrry quiet for a looooong time. I was afraid of what I'd find, but all he was doing was sitting in the corner and looking at books. It was so sweet. Then he pooped. While just as important as reading, it was not as sweet.

I gave him his very own ear of corn the other day. He devoured it, sucking, chewing, gnawing, moaning the whole time. And he was NOT happy when I took it away.

Ewan and I wrote a letter to Santa a few days ago from him and Fynn. I was amazed to open the mailbox today and find that Santa had found the time to answer their letter and they EACH got a response. Their little names were on there and everything. What a great guy, and so fast!

Okay, so this is random, but I love these toys. They are fairly new, as far as I know, and I just think they are so fun and old-fashioned. They are made of wood and plastic and there are different characters along with play houses, firetrucks, animal hospitals, etc. I bought the Hulk and Spiderman a while back, and recently decided I had to have that cop and robber. (For Fynn, of course, not me. Ahem.) And the four of them are going to fight lots of crime together. I have a very strong suspicion Santa got some more of this stuff... But who knows, I've been wrong in the past.
