Eggnog anyone? Nevermind, Darcy just drank the whole quart by herself.
Do your kids like eggnog? I didn't like it when I was a kid. I think it was the name that really turned me off. Any drink made of egg just could not be good. It just sounds slimy to me. Not appealing to consume in liquid form. And NOG! What in the world is NOG?? And where did the word "nog" come from anyway?? (I'm sure that some wonderfully trained etymologist out there knows, but I don't.) Combine them together and it just doesn't sound like an appealing drink to a kid. However, my kids are of the abi-normal kind, and as such, they just love eggnog!!
Rachel just came home from school with stuff for supper. It's taco night here. Quick and easy, just the way I like it. She also got 2 quarts of eggnog. Somehow, Darcy has extremely sensitive eggnog-detectors in her nasal cavities. We hadn't even unpacked a single grocery item, but she was already in the kitchen just chugging down quite a large cup that was quite full of eggnog. Having polished that off, she happily poured herself the rest of the quart. Of course, I was sitting right here at the computer, less than 5 feet away from her. In my own defense, however, I was not facing her and it did take me a couple of minutes to return from computer-coma so I could detect and decipher what the glug-glug-glug-mmmmm noise behind me actually was.
By the time I turned around, surveyed the situation, and determined it required an immediate eggnog intervention, the entire quart of eggnog was gone. Finito. Or as Lily would say, "All done!" Darcy, in one fell slurp, consumed enough caloric-intake for more than half the day! Thank God that this eggnog is the harmless, grocery-store, non-alcoholic variety. It appears that there's enough left in the other quart for each of us to have about a shot glass worth. I guess Darcy may need to be enrolled in a 12-step Eggnoggers Anonymous program. Or, maybe we should just hide the rest! Gotta love that girl.

Oh Darcy! Really....she loves egg nog, huh? Hmmn. I cannot relate. A Pagan Ham sounds tasty to me right now, though! I don't know why I'm hungry. Oh, maybe because of all your food posting!
We went to Jamestown last year on our vacation. I loved it! Sounds like you all had a fun time! Everyone but the dog, that is. :-)
Davis got accepted into the P2P program for this summer's trip to Europe! We are very excited for him!
If I don't "talk" to you again before Christmas....I wish you and your family a very special, happy, blessed Christmas!
