Christmas Pressie to myself
This is the most darling Peter Rabbit diary ever!
When I saw this at Kino, I knew I had to have it.
My Christmas list: Sunburst clock
I love this even though it is a fake - looks real and has the practical advantage of being a battery driven clock!
Happy Birthday KayEm
KayEm celebrated her birthday today. Although the kids remembered her birthday, they had to be prompted to say Happy Birthday after they came downstairs.
Nee presented KayEm with an elaborate paper craft that she made. N, however, had no gift.
"But I don't have anything for you, Mommy," he complained. "I'm not artistic." He hung his head and moped away. KayEm grabbed him and gave him a big hug.
"It's okay, honey," she said. "Mommy loves you anyway. A hug and kiss will make a great gift." N eager complied.
After school, I took the kids to Target to shop for their mother's real birthday present. Since KayEm was going to see the movie "Precious" with her friends, Nee bought her the book. N selected a silver cross necklace.
I had already bought KayEm a new iPhone, but I had one more surprise for her. I handed her a perfectly wrapped box and told her to open it.
"What is this," she asked. "You already bought me a gift."
"I just wanted to get you a little something extra," I said.
KayEm tentatively unwrapped the box. When she had opened it just enough to see what it was, she burst out laughing.
"What is is, Mommy?" asked Nee.
"Let me see," said N.
KayEm unwrapped the present and pulled out her brand new Snuggie.
"I can't believe you bought me a Snuggie," she said.
We all shared hugs and kisses before KayEm had to get ready to leave.
The kids and I made KayEm her favorite birthday cake, Yellow cake with chocolate frosting. X even pitched in by stirring the batter.
As N beat the eggs, a concerned look appeared on his face.
"Daddy," he said. "Are these eggs supposed to look gross?"
"No," I said. "What's wrong with the eggs."
"When I mix them, they look like tinkle," he said.
"Just pour it in the batter, son," I said.
Tomorrow night, KayEm and I will go to ComedySportz and enjoy some improv.
We love you, KayEm and hope you have many more happy birthdays.

The Ultimate Malibu Moment
In this video footage, a 7-months-pregnant woman paddle-surfs calmly past me. I'm standing on the world-famous Malibu pier, where people literally fish for sharks: I look out, and here is this serene, happy person -- very pregnant -- standing on a board, oar in water, gliding by. Some people excel at living in the moment, and they inspire me.
