After years of good intentions, we finally made a gingerbread house this year. I'll make a separate post about it.
Our van repair, which we were told by two different mechanics would cost almost $2,000, ended up costing under $300. Merry Christmas to us.
Lauren had a great 3rd birthday, and our living room looked appropriately like a pink and purple princess machine exploded therein. (She's pretty sure she's going to be four when she has her birthday party tomorrow despite my explanations that it doesn't work that way.)
Joshua and Ethan earned an extra quarter in their allowance this week by playing so nicely with each other most of the week.
I don't have a headache today, which is good because I have a LOT of work to do getting ready for Lauren's party tomorrow and an open house on Sunday.

About Beck
I'm a lawyer who recently returned to work (part-time) after staying at home with my kids for the past five and a half years. I am married to an awesome, hardworking man who also happens to be a lawyer. Fortunately, we rarely argue. However, we also have three little litigators in training, and they do argue on a regular basis.
Our oldest is Joshua. He is seven, is an excellent artist and athlete, and wants to be a paleontologist and a rock star when he grows up. Also, he wants to discover a treasure like the guy in National Treasure. Don't we all? Next is Ethan who's five. He is a perfectionist who loves puzzles, games, playing soccer, and giving his mom hugs. He says he wants to be a baseball player when he grows up, though he has never actually played baseball as of yet. Last we have Lauren who is four. She loves to talk and sing and talk and play with her dolls and talk. She plans to be a ballerina or a driver when she grows up, which she says will be when she's 100. For the record, she has never driven.
