I'm Back

I was having internet problems although a couple of nights I was so tired that I didn't even check my e mail! I have started back to work so I've been busy. We had a very nice New Year's Eve. I was ready to hit the hay by 10 o'clock, but the kids were ready to party. We went to Scott's parents house and had a little party with some great hot wing dip!! AAHHH!! Aunt Jenn bought plenty of party poppers and when the ball dropped it was Happy New Year for everyone. Except for my little guy who kept yelling "Happy Birthday!" And tried to explain that it was the new year and not anyone's birthday but he was already in teh swing of things. I had to drag them all home at 12:30 (Mom the party pooper!) As Will was going to sleep he said "Mommy, I want a birthday."
Today Will and Rachel were getting a bath (not even a church day!) When Will got out I wrapped a towel around him. He walked around for awhile with his towel. When I went to get his jammies, I heard him yell "Mommy, come wook (look)!" "Oh no" I thought wondering what disasters I might find. He was standing in the livingroom naked with his towel beside him. "Mommy," in an angry little voice. "Wook (Look) at me. I am naked. When did I get naked!" Apparently he had forgotten his bath. "You took a bath Will. I took off your clothes." He looked at me as if I grew a third head "Well, I still need underwear!" SO I laughed . To which he said "mommy, it's not funny." And then sighed loudly.
Rachel walked across the kitchen a couple of times today. When I saw it I thought no, no. You always hope and clap and when they start doing it you say "OH MY BABY!" She spent the whole night following her brother and copying his every move. Which I found do sweet, but Will did not. I guess she did eat his playdough.
