Yahoos on Xmas.

Classic.

Well, it's the day after Christmas and the kids are watching a movie and playing with their favorite presents...the boxes that their presents came in. Notice the convenient door cut out for handy chocolate grabbing. Not sure how he gets it to the window where his mouth is.


And this one is pretty self explanatory...

Classic.

Cookie Making "09.

This process gets easier and easier every year. They wanted to do it all. I basically helped minimally with the rolling and the taking in and out of the oven and they took care of the rest.

Max was not interested in getting his hands dirty. (He doesn't like that.) So, he basically sat and watched with this look on his face.

Here is Sam and the 4 cookies he frosted. When it was all over and done with he said, "Hey, I only did 4." But those 4 were wonderful.

Pretty cookie makers...

he's a licker...

This one decided to roll out of bed and grace us with his presence. He did his thing, then disappeared again.

Max turned out to be the resident sprinkle shaker expert. It was the only contribution that did not involve getting his hands messy (He doesn't like that.)

He also decided they tasted pretty good as long as his Mom held it for him so his hands didn't get messy (he doesn't like that.)

It takes a Mom with experience to know that even though she is smiling innocently, there is a cookie stuffed in there.

Abraham Lincoln.

I've learned more facts about Abe Lincoln in the past week than ever. He sure is cute. He now wants to be the President when he grows up. Not sure I would wish that for him :)

Pumpkin Fun.

The Happiest PB&J There Ever Was.

I was making Joe a sandwich the other day and looked down to see this smily guy. I don't know how Joe was even able to eat him, but I guess guys aren't sentimental about things like that. (He said it tasted the same.)

This Child Could Not Possibly Have Come From My Loins. (Try to ignore the fact that I just said the word "loins".)

Crazy Soccer.

Yes, they DID play soccer in this. I was at home in my jammies. Joe was the devoted soccer Dad this morning. (Noah is in the red striped pants.)

Preschool Fieldtrip!

This child has come home from school looking like this every day this week! He just looks at me, shrugs his shoulders, and says "Football." ('nuff said.)

Kiddos.

One Of Many Reasons I love Our Morning Drive.

Noah: MAN! I REALLY want to go to Heaven. Like, right now.
Me: You will someday. God must want you to do something here on Earth.
Noah: Like what?
Me: What do you think?
Noah: Probably, like, get married or something (huge eye roll).
Me: I hope so! Or maybe He wants you to grow up and get a job that helps people...
Noah: Yeah! That's probably it! Lets see....I think I'll help people with their taxes.

Sweet Story.

"Once upon a time there was a little boy named Beckett. One day, he went to a boy's house. His name was Max. They played and played together all day. They liked each other so much they decided to be brothers!"
