Last night, Brianna came up to me and said "mommy, do you know what the turtle said?" "In the movie he said 'friends call me speed'". The face she made, and the way she said it, cracked me up. This morning we were joking about it and laughing so hard that she couldn't get it out. I thought I'd share.
So "clear up your minds" and giggle with us!
Wa-hoo... sniff sniff...
Today I left Megan in Nursery for the first time. We've been visiting, here and there, for the last few weeks, getting used to the idea. She's not officially in there for two more weeks, but the kid hates sunday school and is a huge distraction in YW. So today, after fighting with her in the halls for too long, I took her down, got her a snack, and waved bye-bye. The teachers assured me they can handle a crying kid... and I left....! I think I may have skipped down the hallway just a little. When I picked her up, she was rocking on the horse and didn't want to get up. Teacher said she only cried until the door finished closing, and then no problem. We waved bye-bye, and said see ya next week! What a sweet and glorious day!!!
Friday, when Jack was watching the Florida game with dad, he decided something.
"When I play football, I don't want to be the guy with the ball."
"why?"
"Because he's always the guy at the bottom of the pile! That looks like it hurts. I want to be the guy on top of the pile."
He's a thinker.
We made our first snowman of the season. The snow wasn't too deep, but it was packable and great for sledding.
Megan loved sledding. The only downside, it's hard to get up and out of the sled quickly enough before your impatient brother or sister dumps you out the side!
The slide was especially slick today!
Wee!
Getting up is tricky when you can't bend your limbs
By that afternoon, the sun had come out and warmed things up a bit and Frosty took a nose dive. That night temps dropped and have stayed frigid, so Frosty remains in his frozen puddle and will so, until we get warm enough for me to go out and rescue him. (tonight, low of 2 degrees, tomorrow, high of 19 degrees. Brrr!)Well, here are a ton of our Christmas pictures. They are spread out over a couple of days, (the dates on some of the pictures are wrong, my camera was off by 12 hours)
Carrying on the McLaws Christmas Party Traditions! Complete with "live" nativity, and talent show. The only thing missing was the Pinata... Maybe next year?
Jack and Brianna accompanied Grandpa and his bagpipes. The selection... Drummer Boy.
What's a Christmas Party without decorating gingerbread?
The "kids" were so proud of their creations. Megan just wanted to eat each piece of candy as I put it on her cookie
Megan likes to close or cover her eyes when the camera comes out. She knows what that flash does!
Daddy Plays "Santa" and passes out the presents
Brianna gave Jack the biggest hug when she opened the present he gave her. (Slippers and some new shirts)
Megan collected her treasures in her new shopping cart
Brianna chased megan down the hall trying to get her to open yet another present.
like this... right?
How cute am I?
Thanks Grandpa and Grandma... You ROCK and soon I will too!
Here's Mom and Dad with the group gift!
Here's a first for me. I've never before had a kid fall asleep in the highchair, but this little bug was plain tuckered out! We added the hat as a prop! Check out the carrot cluched in her hand, I couldn't get it out
"Wii" wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Yeah, I totally rock in my new pink jammies.
