Merry Christmas!

We will be finishing shopping tomorrow, but for tonight we strung popcorn and cranberries. AJ was so excited to do something "dangerous" (using a needle is in the dangerous category for us)

They love to pretend they are statues.

TK with her "string". I think she actually put three items on and then said, "mom, you can finish it, I want to draw."


Who can resist this smile!!

WHEN did he get so big?

Little Trip

We spent some time after Halloween in a great state park. We went at such a beautiful time of the year. Can't wait to go back!!

No need to bother with that homework

As parent's we are required to sign when AJ reads his homework. AJ is bored with it and would rather not bother..... so, on the way home from school, he went ahead and "signed" my name so we wouldn't have to do homework.... wonder what his teacher thought.

Halloween

Slightly over due....

Here are some Halloween pics....

TK was a cupcake maker ~ only cupcakes with frosting on top I was informed.
AJ wanted to be a ghost. He had watched "Wubbzy" and he was ghost, so AJ wanted to be one. Let's just say mom's costume making skills don't measure up to the Wubbzy standard. My mil & sitter tried to help, but to no avail.

We spent some time over Halloween with some very dear friends.

and then I went to Target and bought that kid a Batman costume. He could not have been more happy!! All night though everyone asked him where Robin was and he had no clue what they were talking about (:

Too early and too much tape

Sometimes the kids like to help "decorate"..... they especially enjoy it when the find the tape and I'm not in the room!

Family

We recently had family pictures taken and I could go on and on about how wonderful the photographer was and how amazing the print was we finally ordered. (We did order the cd too, so we have copyright approval to do whatever we want with them, which is why I posted a couple on here.) I just want to go back and order every single one in the largest print available!! - That might be a little over board!

The last year

My baby is three and accomplished so much this year! Here is my summary:

• she has left the diapers in the dust!
• started preschool
• has a new sitter
• moved into a new house
• met some friends at our new church
• can spell her own Name!!! (for all you critics that said my child would not be able to spell her name in k-5)
• went to the dentist and did great!

My hopes for the next year......

• learn to ride her bike, this means push the pedals, TK, instead of yelling at your brother or neighborhood kids to pull you around
• learn mom and dad's phone number.... we've been working on this!
