Saturday we were eating and I asked her how it went. Before she could answer, Habtamu chimed in, "Did you kiss any cute boys? She sputtered in frustration and Chris answered, "She kissed as many cute boys as you have cute girls at your dances." Yordanos smiled. Habtamu quickly did the math, "So, zero?

The Gardners Must Be Crazy. In Derby, we spend a lot of time practicing falling, especially with the new girls. And it's drilled into you pretty quickly that once you fall you need to get back up immediately. 3 seconds is the general rule. Faster is better. Of course, not falling at all is best. If you stay down too long, you become an impediment to other players and you are not helping your team. No worries. All ok. He just is. That is all. My children are mortified when I TRY to take selfies. "Mom!

The Gardners Must Be Crazy. Merry Christmas Like a Boss. We have three cats that take pot shots at ornaments on the Christmas tree and act like they're king of the jungle. Then there's Murray who actually brought us TWO Christmas presents this year. He's so thoughtful. The tricky part is getting him to drop it. On a lighter note, the kids got to open one present each tonight, of mama's choosing. They were unwrapped with a squee, because who wouldn't want pink panda one-piece footed pajamas? I think it's ...

The Gardners Must Be Crazy. Childhood Maladies and Healthcare Systems. So, been awhile. Nuff said. We had a lovely Christmas in Florida with the Gardners.
