20 days til Christmas.......

Too icy outside to run: Plan B.....treadmill running! I actually love running inside on the treadmill: put on the ipod and no mess'in around.....workout done with no distraction(well sort of: Alex bouncing from couch to couch and hanging from the weight set...."look at me Mom"



Dave Bell trying to make an attempt at BMXing.......sorry Dave, it ain't going to happen! Stick to triathlon's!
20 more days til Christmas: we are doing an official count down to Christmas with Alex's Advent "Chocolate" Calendar! He is so excited to wake up, open up the "day" flap and see what shape the chocolate is in and the best part: eat it! The he sits with his advent calendar for sometime and talks about the next day chocolate and imagines what shape it is going to be. Then he tries to figure out how many days our left til Christmas, by counting the remaining days "unopened". He is 4! Christmas is so exciting for the little ones! And for the parents too: I have just volunteered my time to make 12 miniature gingerbread houses for Alex's preschool(make them from scratch....dough, cut, cook and glue together). Why do the kids get the best part: the decorating with all the candy and icing.
