Hello, I am typing this while also sleeping. Also: Baby armpit rolls.

This is one of those hi-I'm-still-here, sorry-no-photos posts that occasionally pop up on the blog of a busy mama. I find myself passing up blogging opportunities more and more lately, mainly because I am tired and need my hair washed more than I do my blog updated, but also because more often I find myself passing on blogging opportunities because, hey, just enjoying my kids and not running to blog about it seems the most important. You know?

(You can call this laziness. That's okay. Hey, I got my hair washed today. So there.)

All are thriving, including Mr. Raisin, who is a Monster Baby. We're all rather shocked at his size, since The Professor and I have, in times previous, only produced skinny, chicken-legged babies, and don't really know what to do with one who has, you know, armpit rolls. Honestly, how does fat accumulate in one's armpits? Well, it does. For the Raisin, at least. He's a baby to be taken seriously. With armpit rolls.

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving break (Yes, break. We have been on the academic calender since we were 5 years of age and it doesn't seem like it will ever stop. Woot.) in Michigan with The Professor's family, and are now back home to hunker down for both the Christmas season and winter. Winter promises to be extra nasty this year, and we are already stockpiling on non-perishable food items and sidewalk salt in preparation. In related news, did I tell you that a couple weeks ago we gave up Netflix in favor of insurance for our home's sewer line? In conclusion, we are adults.

The tree is up, we're scheduled to meet Santa on Thursday, and I'm busy ordering and making presents. As is the norm, all gifts will be either used or hand-made, and the "hand-made" portion tends to land in my lap, meaning I will be sewing/knitting/painting non-stop until December 24th. I'd love to show you some of my creations, but my giftees read here, so you'll have to wait, okay? Just remind me in case I forget.

Also. Please remind me to wash my hair on occasion.

That is all. Hopefully photos of armpit rolls will accompany my next post.

Please remind me.
