yesterday was a two cupcake day....
today was a chocolate for breakfast day ....
sophie came into my bed this morning and said, do you know why i come and get in your bed, mommy? ...... grrrrr, snort, snuffle, yawn, what honey?
do you know why i come get in your bed?
cause you're tired of being in your bed?
no! i get in your bed cause i love you so much and can't wait to see you every morning ....
THAT is why on alarm clock days i keep pushing snooze and am reluctant to get out of bed ...i'm waiting for sophie, right? ok, maybe not ... but that's what i'm saying from now on .....
yesterday was a two cupcake day....today was a chocolate for breakfast day .....
i got to stay in bed until after 8..... with my sunshine chattering away about things ..... and then we had to start our important day ....our first-day-of-no-school-at-all-so-you-better-do-something-christmasy day ....
do you know i'm not a kitchen girl? for a variety of reasons, but particularly, i don't like to follow directions and i'm also inattentive .... that makes for poor recipe following and burned food ...... but.... i had a plan .... an even-kitchen-mishap-me-can- do-it plan .... in the microwave, we melted chocolate chips ... we added a titch of milk and a titch of sweet and condensed milk ..... and julia stirred and stirred and stirred til it was smooth .... then we dipped ....
chocolate covered pretzels ....
chocolate covered ritz crackers ....
chocolate covered graham crackers ....
all with generous coatings of christmas sprinkles .....
yesterday was a two cupcake day .... 
before we got going, i got sophie to get our of her froofy, fluffy night gown.... unles she wanted chocolate sleeves .... so she went up and got in her paint clothes ... ha .... she was expecting a big mess, huh? i did one, showed the kids how....and then i had breakfast ... they chocolated each other, the kitchen, the dog, and a few crackers and pretzels ...... and sprinkles....let's talk about sprinkles ... ha ... i had a jar of red, green and white balls.... tried to put them into a bowl for easy dipping application ... and EVERY one bounced out all over the counter ... like super balls .... half landed on the floor ... the dog ate them .... oops.... so they...um, we.... made a joyful christmas mess .... i ate breakfast then did the clean up ....
