Witkowski Family Happenings: Snow!!

Snow!!

The past few days we've had snow flurries...and as a result, we've had very happy children. Gabe keeps insisting that we are going to make snow angels or snow men, unfortunately for him, the dusting of snow that stuck isn't enough to make a snowball, let alone a snow man! I do have to say though, that the snow falling and our Christmas lights twinkling did make for a pretty picture ;)

This weekend we are having a birthday party for George. We have many family and friends coming to have dinner with us and celebrate Geo being around for another year ;) Tori is coming down on Thursday, which has Gabe excited beyond words, and we are hoping JD and Katie will be able to make it as well. Even if they don't, it'll be a fun filled night for all of us.

We've embarked on something that every parent dreads...potty training. *shudder* SarahAnne, God bless her, loves the "bob" (her word for the toilet, she has a spongebob squarepants potty seat and refers to any toilet as bob) and will happily tinkle every five minutes. However, she's just as happy to tinkle on her brother's bed, the living room carpet, or the stairs going to our bedroom. *sigh* It's like having a puppy in the house! Slowly but surely she is telling us WHEN she has to go, it's just a matter of her getting to the potty in time...

I'll leave you all with a few new pictures of the kiddos...

Allow myself to introduce...myself

I'm Chrissi and I'm the momma :) I love to blog, cook, read, teach, volunteer, and listen to Sarah McLachlan-some would even say I'm obsessed with her...

I feel really strongly about special needs advocacy, abolishing the "r" word, having a strong, tight family, and a good solid marriage.

Geo would be the daddy around here...he's sometimes called "HH" (as in, Hunky Hubby)He's also "HH" to Gabe, as in the "homework helper" or maybe that's the Hockey hound...not quite sure...he works for General Mills and loves it.

Gabriel McGee aka McGooch, Birdy, bird person, etc etc is our nine year old. He's starting fourth grade, loves to read, is our resident Lincoln expert, and has a scruffy stuffed dog that comes to life when we're not around...watch out "Calvin and Hobbes" here comes Gabe and Sam!

SarahAnne, who's usually referred to as Bitsy in these parts (and in real life-in fact, she usually introduces herself as Bitsy!) is Trouble. She's six and a half going on sixteen, she's funny as all get out, incredibly smart , and is always blaming the crocodiles for her naughty behavior...and she going to be in first grade this year and is so so happy about it!

Boni cat is our furry baby; he's a crabby old man cat, as we call him and can usually be found on Gabe's bed snoozing whether or not Gabe is in bed. Mr. Naughty Kitty also has an affinity for nibbling on plants! Our other black kitty is Bam (aka "itty") and he's, in a word, dumb. He's energetic, bouncy, furry and allows Bits to put him in a stroller and dress him up. Poor thing.

Betsy has been the one and only puppy face in the house for a year now and I think we're finally adjusted to being dog owners. She's dumb to be sure but also the sweetest animal on the face of the planet...the complete opposite of Nibbler who's been here nearly a year and has finally decided that *I* can touch him but not much and only on his terms. We're fairly sure he doesn't like us and still harbors resentment for being the only non B named pet in the family, though he is referred to by all of us as "Bibby" or "Bibbers" apparently that's just a slap in his stripey gray face...oh well.
