As many of you know, Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. So already I have put my Christmas tree up (don't worry, it's not decorated yet--I'm not that crazy! Ha ha!) and starting putting decorations up around the house. I'm one of those people that decorates early and takes down well after the New Year. I just LOVE Christmas!

There are a few things that the kids have done lately that are funny that I wanted to document. The other day Isaac got a hold of a banana. I could hear him in the living room yelling so I went to check it out. He was throwing the banana up into the air yelling, "The moon is flying! The moon is flying!" Well, a banana is a crescent moon shape. :o) He was so rough on that poor banana that it burst open. Needless to say it was complete mush inside. Maybe I'll have to hire him the next time I make banana bread. :o)

Eli's favorite ride in California Adventure is Soarin' Over California. He loves everything about it. He loves the places. He can tell you the name of every place that you fly over while you're flying over it. He loves the music. He loves the music so much that he has started adding lyrics to the score. I was able to get some of this hilarious song on video. It's really much funnier if you know the melody. Just go
here to listen to it (
this video was perfect since they just dubbed in the actual track to the ride--so there are no sound effects). In case you can't undestand the lyrics, here they are:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soarin' ov-er Cal-i-forn-iaaaaaaaaa!
Soarin' ov-er Cal-i-fooooorn-iaaaaa!
Redwood Creeee-eeeeee-eeeeek!
Redwood Creeee-eeeeee-eeeeek!
Napa Valley with hot air ball-ooooooooons! (My favorite!)
*Break--who wants to sing the whole song anyway?* :o)
Disneyland! Disneyland! Disneyland! Disneyland!
Tin-ker Bell! Tin-ker Bell! Tin-ker Bell! Tin-ker Bell! (This is much funnier if you know the song!)
Soarin' ov-er Cal-i-forniaa! (Here comes the big finale)
Soariiiiiiiiiin'!! Over Californiaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Shailey has been pretty cute lately also. I don't know if any of you are familiar with "Can You Teach My Alligator Manners?" from Playhouse Disney. If not, go here to watch a clip. It's just one of those "in-between a show" shows that they do to teach kids manners. Anyway, the other day Shailey needed a tissue but she used her hand instead. So I started to mimic the show by saying, "Can you teach my Shailey manners?" And then I demonstrated the two options: using a tissue to wipe my nose, and using my hand. She picked the correct one and we all laughed about it. :o) Well, later that day I was eating lunch and Danny asked me a question. So I responded (and yes, I guess I had some of my lunch in my mouth when I replied). Well, Shailey noticed this and said, "Can you please teach my mommy manners? Should mommy talk with her mouth full? Or should she not talk with her mouth full?" Danny and I couldn't stop laughing. :o) I guess I'd better be a little more careful or the "manners patrol" is going to write me up!
