We got the tree put up last night. (It's an artifical one.) The kids had fun bringing over the branches one at a time. At least for awhile, then they tired of that game.

I played Hide the Metronome with them last night. Hanna just had a ball running to the kitchen with John while I hid it. They would lay on the floor in the kitchen till I said they could come out, and Hanna loved running back out with John. Never mind she didn't really look too hard. John always found it. Once Hanna was wandering around when I hid it, and John looked around for her before running out to the kitchen. He said "Where's Hanna?" They have fun playing together.

John was watching the Cookie Monster video we got from the library. He enjoys it, and then always goes around doing "umm-numm-numm-rnnn-numm" like Cookie Monster does. And then during supper (we had pizza) he was saying "I'm the pizza Cookie Monster! umm-numm-numm", and also "I'm the vitamin Cookie Monster! umm-numm-numm" And driving to Sue's house this morning he said "I'm the car Cookie Monster!"

At breakfast this morning Hanna had her spoon between her teeth like some pirate.
