Number of times that I've shouted at Natalie to stop unwrapping the presents: at least 50
Number of ornaments broken (so far): 4 (poor Big Bird!)
Number of Christmas cookies eaten: er...four...fine, seven. FINE, ten. But in my defense, not all at once.
Number of times I shouted “Be good or Santa isn’t coming!”: tons and tons and tons.
So, it’s SITSmas (find more information about SITS here) and I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Or I should be PC and say, “Happy Holidays!” Whatever you celebrate, eat lots of food, that’s my motto.
I attempted to take some Christmas photos.
Here’s my daughter Natalie by to tree. Actually NOT breaking an ornament for once.
I thought this would be a nice festive look and would make my son Tommy look like an angel (ha!) Instead he’s obviously thinking, “Get this the EFF off of me!”
Then I tried to get a good photo of them together and I’m not sure how well it turned out. And yes, Natalie is not wearing pants because she’s going through a phase where pants are bad. Now I’m worried she’s going to start hanging out with Lindsay Lohan, who also seems to have the same motto.
I love your post. Have a great SITSmas and a great week :)
ReplyDeleteI adore the name of your blog! Makes me laugh every time I see it.
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!
Merry SITSmas {and Merry Christmas} to you!
ReplyDelete*LOL* I love the photos and the last one is really neat. My son too is going through a hate pants phase.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITSMAS to you! :)
Merry SITSmas Day!
ReplyDeleteLOL..love this!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITSmas. save me some cookies.
Merry Christmas and SITsmas!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever outgrew the I hate pants phase, or the I hate clothes phase either..but I thankfully never landed in the Lohan phase either! Cute pics!
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!!! Your kids are just the cutest as always!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this Amber!!
ReplyDeleteI love the one where they're tangled in the lights together. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of Tommy in the lights is hilarious. I love the last one, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute pictures!!! Merry SITSmas!!
ReplyDelete~WM
Adorable pictures! Merry SITSmas and Happy 2010!
ReplyDeleteI love the glow on the last photo. I never would have known she didn't have pants on- looks like she's wearing tights to me.
ReplyDeleteI really like the last photo of the kids. They look engrossed in those lights! I especially like the broken ornament count. I may have to do that one too. Lol.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the no pants thing. Molly went through a no clothes thing and she turned out alright. At least, I think she did. Lol.

I love the last picture. The kids look like angels in that one and I didn't even notice the pantless one until you pointed it out.
ReplyDeleteThe last picture does look angelic with the lights but then you realize Natalie is pants-less and well...Cute pics!
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!
You make me laugh re: Lindsay Lohan! Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteJust be glad Natalie broke ornaments instead of ingesting them. I have a friend whose son ate part of an ornament over the weekend and she had to take him to the ER! Fortunately they said it would pass right on through....
ReplyDeleteI love her shirt. Elf size
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas
I want the shirt your daughter has on in my size!!
ReplyDeleteFun pictures!! My kids never wear pants...
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!! I absolutely love the picture of your 2 kids with the lights. Definitely a good one!
ReplyDeleteAt least Natalie still wears a shirt. Plus she poses in adorable Gymboree outfits!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter refuses to wear clothes. I have to pack blankets in the car for our trips to and from school. I am almost too embarrassed to write that, but it's true.
Merry SITSmas!
your pics are great! Merry SITSmas
ReplyDeleteOh so cute!
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas! And Merry Christmas!
***Ally
I love the pictures with the lights.
ReplyDeleteAnd, we went through a pants are bad phase, too. I don't get it. Apparently, pants=cold here. Go figure.
Merry SITSmas to you and your family as well
ReplyDeleteHey! Natalie could be as naughty as Lindsey Lohan... (could she?)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I feel you, I swear I have used the Santa line at least 50 times today.. I cant even begin to put a number on it since Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITSmas!
Love those pictures! Merry SITSmas!!
ReplyDeleteCUTE cute pictures! Merry SITSmas to you!
ReplyDelete~HB
That third photo came out really cute! Hold on to that one!
ReplyDeleteLOL! As usual, you rock my face off!!! Great photos of the kiddos!
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!!!
Merry SITSMAS to you and your family!!! Love the picture of them untangling the lights, so pretty with all the colors!
ReplyDeleteYes let's do keep Natalie away from Lindsay.
ReplyDeletetheyre super adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures totally made me smile. I have a bunch of presents to wrap.......Thanks so much for stopping by so regularly and being such a fantastic commenter!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable pics! Have a very Merry SITSmas!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the pictures...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Merry Sitsmas..
Oh yeah, I'm all too familiar with the lack of pants. Maybe Natalie will grow up and marry Colin in a pantsless ceremony, and they'll have a couple of beautiful blonde-haired blue-eyed pants-boycotting babies?
ReplyDeleteJust a thought.
Why do they have to make it so hard to get cute pictures of them?? LOL
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!
Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently I'm not the first to wish you a Merry SITSmas! LOL ;)
I love that bottom picture. I get the whole not pants thing. For a while it was only dresses, and then it was only bathing suits and thank god she is now a decently dressed super cute 6th grader. whew! I was kinda worried.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Merry SITSmas!
ReplyDelete"eat lots of food" is my motto, too.
ReplyDeleteAlas, it seems to be my motto all the time, not just during the holidays.
Sigh.
Merry SITSmas!
Oh, I love the kids in the lights!!
ReplyDeleteHave a Saucy SITSmas!
Hahaha! Cute AND funny. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a very merry SITSmas!

ha - my daughter likes to take her clothes off too - she says she's hot all the time!
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!
I went through a phase where I would only poop if my dad bribed me with M&Ms.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need to do that anymore. Much.
Sounds like you are trying to get ready for the holidays, but little elf is watching every move yuo make,lol
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by.
Merry SITSmas!
Those are such sweet photos! Merry SITSmas:)
ReplyDeletePants are bad! Merry SITSmas. Love that elf sized shirt! Your kids are so gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! But cute pics! Have a Merry SITSmas and Blessed CHRISTmas! Love the retro look!
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas! We have made it without any ornaments being broken so far. It could have something to do with the fact that we hung everything out of the dude's reach. Ah ha ha
ReplyDeleteThe look on your son's face is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteMerry SITSmas!!
ReplyDeletePants are bad. Ha, If I see her in the National Enquirer I will get concerned. Actually if I read the National Enquirer I will get concerned.
ReplyDeleteOK, OK, I'm a day late... but I wanted to wish you a Merry SITSmas, and tell you how much I love hte pictures of your kids... especially the one of them playing with the lights!

I love the last picture so much! I'm not in SITS so I'll wish you a plain old Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the pics!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by yesterday. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christms & Happy New Year!
ooh dont let her watch tmz, dont wanna give her any ideas... jk
ReplyDeletetheyre so cute for reals
No worries about the "no pants" thing... at least I hope not.. b/c Adam has been in a "no pants" phase for about a year! We won't be home 10 minutes and then there they go!! It's really funny when someone comes to the door and he tries to pull his shirt down so they wont see his underwear LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the photos and the last one is really neat. My son too is going through a hate pants phase.
