this little guy...

This little guy thinks he can sit at the big table instead of his high chair!
Big brother does it, so why can't he??

So this morning he got to...he did pretty well!

He thinks he did a pretty good job too!
Pancakes are easy...the messy stuff he has to sit in his highchair!

trucks, trucks and more trucks!

Can you tell we're ALL boy around here??

There's no princess/girly things in this household!

It's ALL trucks, trucks and more trucks!

It seemed like every present the boys got had something to do with trucks!

This isn't even half of them...I found a lot more later all around the house!

Even though we got a lot of trucks...I wouldn't have it any other way!

I love my boys to pieces and I LOVE watching play with all the trucks!

They have such an imagination!

merry christmas!

Merry Christmas!
No good family pictures today!

Too many toys and distractions for these boys!

Oh well!

gifts

So I've been busy making these...

They are coasters. We made them last year with our family pictures on them and gave them to our family.

This year I made them with scrapbooking paper and sticker letters.

I gave them to Eli's preschool teachers, my aides, etc.

They were perfect!

I still have more to make and have yet to make any for myself!

cookies

Last year we started an annual cookie decorating night at our school.
All 3 of us Kindergarten teachers make all the cookies and everyone else brings things to decorate them! It's a fun time for us to get together with our staff and our kids! We take pictures and make a scrapbook of our night. It was fun to see how much they had grown since last year.

Well...we were eating dinner before we went and Eli got sick. So, we didn't get to go. Eli and I were bummed! So we decorated some of the cookies a little later. Eli wasn't up for it too much. He didn't even ask to eat one! We tried to make it fun! Oh well, there's always next year!

gift

I received one of the best gifts ever this year!
My aide in my classroom made this for me!

Yes...made it!
She hand painted EVERY little piece on here!

I LOVE IT!

She said she thought it was something fun for me and the boys to do!

She was absolutely right!

We've had so much fun.

By the time we are done, we will have the whole nativity scene.

Perfect!

Hello Woody!

So, I bought these pajamas for Eli.
They are Toy Story; Woody and Buzz Lightyear!

I didn't realize he would want to wear them to play in!

This was the day he decided to be Woody!

I kept hearing, "There's a snake in my boot!"

I love this kid!
