Good Job, Ned!

Ned got me the pajamas. Red plaid, to top it off. They rock. And yesterday he came home with the new Patricia Cornwell book. (Very possibly my favorite author. Yes, Dan the D-bag, my mind is stagnant.) He did a terrific job this Christmas. Maybe I was wrong all along. Maybe Negative Ned is really Considerate Cal. Virtuous Victor. Warm-hearted Wes. I think in the weeks to come we'll see. In the words of one of my mom's friends "something big is right around the corner. I can feel it."
The girls' upgrade.
We got the girls a brand new (awesome) wooden kitchen made for 6-8 year olds. And Melissa and Doug (they really should pay me for advertising) wooden food. Melissa and Doug are geniuses. I called them 'Melissa and Douglas' on accident to Ned yesterday. I think they may be one of the first people I hold a tremendous amount of  respect for. Besides Ned/Cal/Victor/Wes.
Jackie has a habit of calmly stating astute facts. She stated (on Christmas Eve, as Ned was assembling the kitchen) that the girls were 'updating their kitchen like their parents." So true. Jackie, Jackie, Jackie. Wise as a sage yet slow as molasses.
Anyway, Christmas was nice. Quiet (as Ned kept saying in a semo-shocked tone) but nice. Busy, too. Which explains my serious gap between posts.
Kiwi Herman is sleeping over New Years Eve. I'll keep you posted. Maybe we will? Kiwi may have a pint and guest blog.
