Kid Comedy

Megaman - This is how he decided to eat his breakfast the other day.



Honey Bunch - Here's a cute conversation:
Me - What do you want to be when you grow up?
HB- A vegetable.
Me- What? Why do you want to be a vegetable?
HB - So I can take care of the dogs and cats!

Princess - Our home teacher came last week and he was giving a lesson about the Christmas story. He told the kids that there was no room for Mary and Joseph at the inn. He then asked if we have room for Jesus. Princess said, "Ya! In the basement!" (That's where our guest room is.) Hilarious!

Dude - I was listening to some country music and Dude came in and said, "What is this? Mom, is this even music?" Guess he's not a country fan.

Christmas Program, Santa, and Gingerbread

Dude's 2nd grade Christmas Program was last week. It was really cute and he did a great job. When I get a little more free time I'll post some video.


I also was feeling adventurous this weekend and bought a gingerbread house kit to make with the kids. They thought it was fun and that's what counts. :)






On Saturday we went to see the most creepy Santa I've ever seen. To make matters worse, he kept calling me "Madam." Yuck! I took pictures against my better judgement. At least the kids are cute.







Once There Was A Snowman

Last Saturday Doctor decided to brave the cold and teach all the neighborhood kids how to build a snowman. They were thrilled. I love how they just stood and watched in amazement.

Snow Day!

This last Wednesday was a snow day. I'm not terribly sure why, we only had about 1 1/2 inches on the ground. We still had a fun day. The kids were determined to play in the "snow" even though it was only about 10 degrees outside. I eventually made Dude come inside because I was afraid he would get hypothermia. :)
Oh, and by the way, Dude has his 3rd black eye in less than a year. This one involved a bike race, crash, and a neighbor's bike helmet.

And the best part of snow day? Megaman trying to get his own breakfast. Yum, Cocoa Puffs!


Family, Turkeys, and Football

We had such a fantastic Thanksgiving. Doctor's brother and his family came out to spend with the holiday with us. Dude was in heaven having his cousin here! They helped the kids make these cute cookie turkeys.



We even forced them to watch the BSU game, go Broncos! :)We are already looking forward to your next visit, thanks for making the trip!

Off to the Station

I took the kids to the fire station last month. What I learned is that Megaman is very timid and Honey Bunch loves to pose for pictures on the fire truck. Megaman did enjoy ringing the bell on the end of one of the trucks. :)





One of my new favorite things.....

The other day I had to take the kids to school and it was freezing outside. When I got back home I walked in the house to find this.

The fireplace is hooked to a thermostat and comes on all by itself. Glorious!

Handy AND Handsome!

Hands off ladies, this man is mine. :) I'm so lucky to have a husband who works so hard for us. He built these wonderful shelves back in November. He drilled holes in a board to store his screwdrivers, even. Genius!
