the note that came home from school yesterday read:
Wednesday-
Ugly Christmas Sweater Day -
Wear the ugliest sweater you can find!!!
Colten this morning:
"Is today ugly sweater day?"
Me:
"No, it's tomorrow...but you don't really have a sweater much less one that's ugly"
"Wait...What is a sweater again?!?"
"Umm....here...This is a sweater" (holding up one of my sweaters)
"OH. You're right that is an ugly sweater. Really ugly....maybe I'll wear it tomorrow"
"What?"
"I'm kidding mom. I'm not actually going to wear it"
***ETA: oh...and For the record, I held up a plain gray Gap sweater....not a Christmasy one.

Anna Quindlen :
...but the biggest mistake I made is the one that
most of us make while doing this.
I did not live in the moment enough.
This is particularly clear now that the moment is
gone,
captured only in photographs.
There is one picture of the three on them sitting in the grass
on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set
on a summer day,
ages 6, 4, and 1.
And I wish I could remember what we ate,
and what we talked about,
and how they sounded,
and how they looked when they slept that night.
I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things:
dinner, bath, book, bed.
I wish I had treasured the doing a little more
and the getting it done a little less.
