This is probably the last time the girls will see Jimmy in this uniform. I sure hope the next team he plays for wears green. Really, what are the chances of me unloading 2 cheerleading uniforms with "Oliver" embroidered across the chest? I guess I know what they will be for Halloween this year!?!?! 
Kali helps me pick which Starbucks blend to brew this morning!
What can a say about Miss Hotsy Totsy? It's a crying shame that we don't live in a nudist colony. If we did, she'd be completely potty trained!!!! She never, ever, has an accident when she is bottomless. If only she'd get the panties off her head and onto her butt, we could venture out into the world. She has no use for Pull-ups - she knows a diaper when she sees one. I guess the up side of this "free" living is the amount of $$ we are saving on diapers and their Pull-up cousins. What a site to see Peyton butt-naked building a "skyscraper" out of blocks! She loves her blocks and puzzles. She's getting quite good at both. Much to my surprise she knows most of her shapes - thanks to said puzzles. She counts everything in Spanish now, from the panties she won't wear to the green beans on her dinner plate. She has moved on to watching Dora on the French channel. In France, apparently, Dora teaches English! How's that for a twist? It doesn't seem to bother Peyton. Neither does the demonic Elmo potty book I just realized we have. For 3 months we have been reading a potty book that apparently says "Uh, Oh - who wants to die" - never realized it until some paranoid women sued the publisher and I read about it on the internet! Does that make me a bad Mom? My choice is to sell it on eBay for 3X the price I paid for it or to get a replacement - I'm still deciding. Maybe this is the whole problem with Peyton's unwillingness to wear big girl panties - Elmo's subliminal messages about potty training. Atleast it's not my fault ;)
Jimmy has put in another week with these lunatics. We still have no idea what the true status of his job is. Not a day goes by that he doesn't get a call from a coach or a general manager from another team trying to persuade him to play for them. Sounds like he's got any number of jobs to choose from, but nothing seems to move any further. This obnoxious coach let another player leave last week, only to inform him a couple days later that if he left he would have to pay back the salary for the 4 months he played for Olimpija and pay a fine for terminating his contract! Needless to say, we do not want to find ourselves in that same situation. This coach is just impossible. A friend of mine here made the most profound assessment of him I have heard to date. Brigitte said "God must of made a horrible mistake with him, he was meant to be put on this earth as a snake." Enough said. Keep Jimmy in your prayers. He is a consummate professional and has been conducting himself with the utmost integrity. I give him a lot of credit, he is a very special guy indeed. I'm not saying that just because he's my husband or the father of my children - really.

A great New years eve at Nicholas's house. We had sh sh shampane and pa pa palacinkes. Nicholas and me watched Madagascar then we watched the fireworks. Then we had a lego fight. It was a very happy new year.
