Mom, it's urgent!

Yeah, about a week ago I was doing dishes and Josh's yells for me to come. Quick! I didn't come. The yells continued with urgency. I stop what I'm doing and go in there. What was so pressing that couldn't wait 3 minutes? Oh, just Josh and Kaden snuggled in Josh's bed with big grins on their faces. That, after all, is pretty darn important. They insisted on a picture. So here it is in all it's glory!

A good laugh

I debated whether or not I should post this. . . .you know, because I'm all sweet and innocent and all. (Ha!) But, I laughed so hard when I read it. Maybe it's because I have boys and this is the norm in our family. This came out of a book that Josh's teacher gave the kids for Christmas. It's called The Klutz Book of Brilliantly Ridiculous Inventions. It was pretty good. But the following was by far the funniest! Enjoy. . . .or not.

Snow Fun

Isn't it great that we have a grandpa who loves to play in the snow as much as the kids? He hooked up the sled to the 4 wheeler and pulled the kids around the backyard. Oh my goodness! They had so much fun. Yes, in the picture Kaden looks like he was miserable, but while they were going around and around, he had a HUGE smile on his face! Josh tried snowboarding. . . .he did alright, but fell off more than he was on. And Ethan? Well, he opted to stay indoors and sip hot chocolate while the other kids had a great time.

A Barber is Born

1 pair of scissors.
2 sneaky children.
2 heads missing some hair.
2 pairs of pants with holes cut in them.
1 angry Mommy.
2 children with time outs (for a long time.)

Yeah, not sure what Ethan was thinking. He was the one who did the actual cutting. Lucky that the layered look is "in" because Abby sure has different lengths of hair in the back. Needless to say, Abby is going to look real cute in all the upcoming Christmas pictures. Sigh. . . . .
