Christmas re-hash

What a fun time we had this year! Both girls enjoyed what they got. I was able to see family, and spend some much needed time visiting and sleeping!!!
Maya's favorite gift this year was Hanana Montana, she sings and talks! That was fun listening to her say "This is Wicked Awesome" about 50 million times. Meredith got a baby that cries, and she was so very excited. She got a stroller and bottles. The baby got to keep it's clothes on for about an hour, and now the baby is naked. She loves to strip them down. Not sure why.
I got a new camera. Watch out.... I am camera happy! I took picutres of my co workers this morning as they walked thru the door, and I made my ad assistant sit and watch Christmas morning pictures, and videos... did I mention that it takes video too?????!!!!! This is a major upgrade for me. I used to take picutres with my phone, but I dropped it into the bath tub a few weeks ago and I can't seem to get a network on it now. It still works, just no network. They really should make those things water proof.
My cousins got the Nintendo Wi.... I can not wait to play with that. I am going back up to KC this week end to pick up my girls (they stayed with my parents) and I think I will call and mooch some game time off of them.
Matt and I even had a good time shopping together. For the second year in a row we did not fight the whole time. We laughed and had fun. I think we are getting used to each other, eight years will do that to you I guess.
The only complaint that I have, is that it was too short! But, I guess that is normal. We drove back yesterday, and had to go back to work today.
Merry Christmas to all of you! I want to hear what you got for Christmas.
Talk to you all soon!
Super Mom! (sometimes)

Did you miss me?

It has been awhile, and I am so sorry that I have not posted anything. It has been a little busy around our house. Maya has been having problems hearing, and that is causing school work hardships. But, she is on the road to getting that fixed, and I know that the Lord will take care of her ears! Meredith is still potty training! She is doing sooo well at daycare! But at home she has nothing to do with it, unless you bribe her with candy.... two weeks ago I actually bribed her with a dollar if she would poo in the potty. I am desperate! Is it so hard to ask of the child to do her business in the bathroom???? Anyway, we are working on it.
We have a new member of our family, Maxamillion Mitchell, or Max for short! Max is our cat, and he has added chaos to our house. But, it has been wonderful! I love him.... Matt not so much, but I think he will someday see the light. At least there are two males in our house now.... well sort of.
We decided that Max did not need to have babies, so a few weeks ago Max made the dreaded trip to the vet to get fixed. I must start this story out by saying that Max thought he was hot stuff.... he was a rather endowed cat. So when he came home he was not very happy with me. After the girls came home, he wanted to move! On the way home from daycare I warned the girls to leave Max alone because he had been fixed. Of corse, the first question out of Maya's mouth was "What does that mean?". "Well that means Max can not have babies anymore". I was very proud of that answer, until "Mom, boys can't have babies!". So I had to explain further "ok, well Maya it takes a boy and a girl to make a baby." That seemed to passify her.
So, we get home, and Max meets us at the door with that evil, I hate you look on his face. I left the room for a min and all of a sudden I hear "Mom, they cut Max's butt off!!!!". Oh dear! I walked into the living room and my poor cat is looking at me horrified while Maya has his tale lifted in the air, and she is inspecting his rear end. Yep, never a dull moment at the Mitchell house. Max survived, and is doing much better now. He does not seem to be as upset. and the girls have stopped asking questions. So, we won't have to have "the talk" just yet. Now, won't that be fun!
So, that is what I have been up to, I hope all of you are well. I want to hear from you. Tell me about your house holds!
I will try to write soon! Christmas is right around the corner!
May you all have a blessed holiday!
With love,
Super Mom!
