November Siegbits

 I haven't been posting as much of late but you really haven't been missing out on too much. Life has been slow moving but happy. Here are some of the little things that have been going on around here:

• The weather is getting colder and colder outside (it snowed yesterday) and we are more and more content staying inside for the majority of our days. 
• After about two weeks of some sickness or another, our boys had become very used to watching more than their fair share of movies and shows on the computer. Finally we put our foot down and stopped letting them watch anything. It has now been over a week and the boys don't even ask anymore and are much more fun to have around. I sometimes miss the break that Winnie The Pooh gave me, but it as been well worth the extra work on my part. Our boys are only going to be small once.
• Charlie figured out how to climb out of his crib (Mason said he fell on his neck. Yikes!) so now he has graduated to a big boy bed. Boo. James and I are very sad. Will he ever take a nap again?

•  We are reading books like they're going out of style. Charlie loves Clifford. So much that he mangled a Clifford book from the Library so that we could keep it for our own.
• James has just a couple weeks left in the semester and we are so excited to have him to ourselves for his Christmas break! Just one more semester to go before we have to refer to him as Master Poppy.
• After 16 years of not touching the piano, I have started playing it again! My poor mother tried to get me to learn when I was young but I had no talent and no interest so she finally gave up on me. Now I love it! I still stink, but boy is it fun to have music in the home!
• Speaking of music, Char sings all day long. His favorite songs are, Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam, In the Valley, and I love to see the Temple. We get a kick out of his vocal skills.
• An elderly woman wearing a fur coat sat in front of us in church today. As a result, Charlie meowed repeatedly at her and said, "Cat!" for the full hour-long meeting.
• Charlie loves cats.

See? Like I said, nothing eventful really. But we are all healthy and happy so I can't complain.
