Bug has been insisting that Papa is Santa Claus, and also telling me we have to get Papa a Santa costume. Rose tells him, "No, Mama is Santa, cause she does the buying." So much for childish innocence around here! I try to stay out of it and keep the big boys out as well.

Then today Rosie told me today that she sometimes doesn't believe in Jesus, because it is hard to understand and believe in. She's not even 5 yet! (They discuss basic Christian principles at her preschool.)

It is 44 and rainy here now, very wet. But the high tomorrow is 60! Beats snow. Tom says he LOVES this rainy weather.
