Colson is obsessed with Minecraft. I bought him the game for his birthday, after he'd been talking about it for months. He talked about it so much that every time Ava heard the word "Minecraft" come out of his mouth, she'd slap herself in the forehead.
He's been watching these videos on YouTube that are about a family who plays Minecraft together. They talk through what they're doing. Here's one of them:
Well, I got Colson a video camera for Christmas. He decided he wanted to start making his own Minecraft videos. This is his first one. He's made changes to the format since this one, but he wanted to still keep them in order. Zach and Ava add commentary throughout. All 3 kids are talking about becoming "famous on YouTube".

I Can't See That
Ava put this sign up near the Christmas tree a few days after we put the tree up.
Apparently the song "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" horrified her, and she needed to make sure it didn't happen in her house.

We Prefer Coarsely Chopped Words Over Minced Ones
Found this funny instant message exchange between my daughter and my mother (who works at a cemetery). Just to let everyone know I come by my strangeness naturally.
Ava: whatcha doin?
Jan: burying people

I Can't Read The Directions For Putting Together New Mom!
My brother Andrew sent an email to my daughter yesterday.
Say hey ... when are you coming over to spend the night w/ Robert and us?
Its like, you haven't been here since you were the age you were before your last birthday ... and that's a really long, long, long time ago, don'tchya think? I mean, come on already ... enough's enough.
Its about time you walk up to your mother dear and say, "Mom, when can I spend the night and Andrew, Kathy, and Robert's home? Its like you won't let me go anymore. Please, please, please, pretty please with non-cancer enfused sugary sweetener on top?"
That should work ...
If not ... then ask your dad to replace her. IKEA has a sale on recycled moms after Christmas.No wonder he's all the Lewis grandkids' favorite uncle.

Monday Mornings With Zachary
Remember Rolf Harris? I posted about his Australian amazingness awhile back. Well, the kids' favorite song of his is King Caractacus.
The kids were singing their favorite line of the song, the last one, in the car. I had to videotape it. Cole does it best, Zach just "mm hmmm mmm"'s along until the end.

Not A Namesake, But A Facesake
So Zach looks just like Eric, Ava looks just like me, but who does Colson look like? Sure, he's got some Eric traits and some Suzanne traits, but who does he look the most like? Here's your answer: MY MOTHER! I mean, the likeness is astounding...he's got deeper set eyes and downturned eyebrows, like Eric, but otherwise he's my mother reincarnated.

Reason Is So Maddening
Zachary got mad at Ava yesterday and yelled at her, "YOUR BUTT SMELLS LIKE POOP!"
She very calmly responded, "It's supposed to".
He got so mad he ran into his room, slammed his door and proceeded to bang his head against it for 10 minutes. He hasn't quite realized that "getting to Ava" requires way more forethought.

Stupidest Christmas Tree
Last year around Christmas I went into Wawa to grab something. While I was in there I heard the most annoying Christmas song playing over the loudspeakers. I got back in the car with the kids muttering about the annoying song. They asked me what it was, and made me sing it to them. They laughed so hard at the song that I went on to iTunes on my phone and downloaded the song for them.
It has now become their favorite Christmas song of all time. So I give you Nat King Cole's Happiest Christmas Tree. You'll be bashing yourself in the head with a hammer in 8 hours when you can't get it out of your head....
Merry Christmas

King Solomon's Waltz
Solomon, who competes in the ProPro division with me, took first place in every dance in Birmingham this past weekend. My favorite of our dances by far was our waltz.

Ava's Fashions
Red turtleneck and tights with a black and white plaid skort. What could be Christmasier? Somehow it morphed into a white shirt later in that day; I'm assuming I was being a spaz about not getting the white shirt dirty.

The Daily Ava Report
The other day Ava was playing Newscaster Barbies in the hallway. I overheard her interviewing one of her barbies, who had survived an explosion. Explosion Survivor Barbie told this sad story:
My brother died in the explosion because he was allergic to fire, but I didn't care because I didn't like him anyway. My parents didn't love him either, because he was so darn dumb. After he died the doctors cut open his head and found there was no brain. We were not surprised.

Dancin' In Dixie, & How-Tos For The Weekend
Headed to Birmingham today for the Christmas In Dixie event. Haven't been to this event since I lived in Nashville many years ago. Should be a fun event, lots of my favorite dancers will be in attendance.
In other news, this video is for Eric, a little reminder of how to do Ava's hair this weekend.
And, in case anyone needs this information, how to work Zachary's nebulizer to do his breathing treatments.
In other dance related news, I came across these old photos of Richard and I. Um, how skinny were we?? I forwarded them to Richard, he asked, "Good lord, what were we doing back then to look so thin?"
Being young, Richard....being young.....
