But a pair of Twinnies in the same bed and old-school Greatest American Hero shirts? :-)
While going through all of our numerous clothes from the different sizes and seasons, I came across a pair of shirts gifted to me by my *lovely* mother. I remember wearing one or both of these shirts when I was much smaller, but was informed that I could NOT have done so based on both the size and time frame of said shirts. To be honest, it does not matter because it was just so cute to see them in these "previously loved" shirts. Besides, it made us laugh because it was a goofy show to begin with.
The first part of the holiday season went well. Daddy and Aron came down with a stomach flu during Turkey day and, just when we cleaned that up and got back to "normal," we all came down with a case of food poisoning. I led the pack in getting ill first and Aron was the last to finally clear it from the house. I can honestly say that I have never been so happy to see a diaper look solid in my life, and I never thought that I would actually look forward to seeing such a sight. [sigh] Motherhood.... [lol]
So far, Aron and Alyssa have received some wonderful gifts this Holiday season. We got a perfectly sized wagon that will be very useful for those trips to the Zoo from the Bappas, a cute miniature and completely COLLAPSABLE picnic table for all kinds of arts and crafts (not to mention eating hamburgers off of), and a throwback six-coin cash register from Mommy and Daddy. Since there are two kids to get presents for, Mommy tend to economize where possible. Right now, it is very easy to do since they are the same age and toys can be "shared" (yeah, right...SHARED! [lol] ). I managed to get the $60.00 wagon for $30.00, and even got $10 back on the picnic table due to a sale before the infamous 30-days were over. I can scrimp with the best when I put my mind to it! ;-)
And finally, to round out our pictures today, we have Aron doing his best impersonation of a very famous scene in a notorious college spoof, National Lampoon's Animal House. After finishing a bath, Aron expressed an interest in being swaddled in his bath towel. I happily obliged, and it ended up looking like he was going to a Toga Party. I think I even heard a "BEER!!" out of him during this time...(that and some rambling speech about history...) :-)
