I've been busy running the "Kiss the Frog" contest over at the Hero Arts Flickr Group, making cards for the HA 2010 Stamp Premier Blog Hop (see blinking notices in the margins here), making cards for Christmas, shopping for Christmas, wrapping presents for Christmas, and I'm thinking of trying to squeeze in Spanish lessons when I'm in the shower because, you know, this will help get me into that padded cell all the quicker....
Even Gigi has noticed that I'm running around like a maniac and stopped me short when she asked if she needed to make an appointment to play Barbies with me.
!!!
Oh, it gets better. She whips out her little notepad and says, "According to my agenja, I think I can pencil you in after i, Carly...."
Another thing I do is help Gigi with her school work - which includes memorizing Bible verses for school on Wednesdays and Fridays.
I wish I could tell you what Wednesday's verse was, but I can't. I've slept since then. Only 3 hours, mind you - and this may be part of the problem - but I CAN remember what she said when she recited the source of the verse:
Philipity.
I can't wait to see what she does with Ephesians....
(I turned around as we were winding down from decorating the Christmas tree and discovered she had fallen asleep on the end of the recliner and had slo-o-o-o-wly sunk down to the ground.)
Hi Deborah, You gotta love kids minds. My dd is always comming out with wonderfully strange things ;). You also gotta love the way they can fall asleep anywhere in any position. Have a wonderful Christmas.

I love your photo of Gigi. It is priceless. I have one of my daughter when she was 4 asleep with the dog. They both look so comfortable. When did I start having trouble sleeping--when I had my daughter! Even when I slept I was listening to make sure she was okay. Have a blessed Christmas. WRE

That is one priceless photo! I can't believe she's asleep! Ivy just posted some photos on her blog of her boys in blissful sleep...what a coincidence!

Love the photo of Gigi... kids certainly have a knack of falling asleep any where, any how.... how I envy that... I could do it till I was in my late 20's.... then had kids...
Also loved her idea of making an appointment with you.... we are sometimes so tied up with our own "agneja's" we can forget they need some of us as well.. Don't overdo it my dear, and Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas

That picture is just too funny... and then add the Gigi stories... My daughter always used to pretend in the car that she was on a meeting with her pretend phone. LOL!
