This is what REALLY being tired looks like

This is a picture my mom sent me today. This is my precious nephew Bryce. He and Kailey are the same age. This is how he fell asleep today. Now that's tired.

Cookies with Santa

Well, Who Wouldn't Go Swimming on Thanksgiving Day?

Please notice, Kailey wanted the ENTIRE leg. It covered her plate. She was one happy pilgrim.

The Case of the Missing Brownies

The crime scene, the evidence and the suspect...like mother like daughter.

Jake Wins 2 Awards

Jake received two awards during an all school assembly recently. He got a perfect attendance award and he received the "Good Samaritan Award". I'm really proud of him for this. The Good Sam award is a citizenship award. (I know, you could have figured this out on your own.) Anyway, the teacher chooses one student from her class who shows quality qualities...he he... He is a great kid and we are very proud of him.

The Nutcracker

There is a historic home in the area that is generally used for weddings and such. At Christmas time, they host an abbreviated version of the nutcracker and host a tea party. It was great!! The perfect thing for a girl and her mom.

Well Of Course...

Just for a laugh.

I came upstairs this evening to find a laundry basket of clean, folded clothes all over the floor. Now, knowing my children, there was no question who had committed this crime. The fact that a baby doll now occupied the basket sealed her fate. When I asked her about it, and threw in a "Don't do that again" she replied with this, "BUT Mommy there were crocodiles on the floor!!". Well of course there are...that explains it all.
