Christmas Party

So in the excitement of having a kindergartner for the first time I signed up for room parent. Not exactly sure what all that detailed but now I know. Fortunately for me I was not chosen to be the room parent Coordinator. May God Bless those moms or dads who are! Anyway I was only responsible for Snack and Punch and accessories for about 40 people. Yes 40, figure 22 kids plus adults and siblings. So yes the room was hectic and loud and fortunately Brennon was in preschool and Addy was with her memaw. But on the plus side, I am so glad (Emma was too) that I was able to be a part of her class for that long hour. I got to meet some of her friends and other parents. We made gingerbread houses and played bingo. And now when the time comes and I have time to do it, I have some in class pictures for scrap booking!!!!

On the subject of fingernails and toenails

I have to keep up with 100 of them.

Thanksgiving Day

No, I'm not confused I've just been a little pre-occupied and have failed to post the update on my sweet sassy little thing who really does not appreciate it when mom puts pony tail holders or clips in her hair. And who after running all around the house with mom in tow trying to put in these so called hair clips and bows will usually pull them out shortly after. So instead of letting my little biting, hitting, pinching queen look and fit the role of a total ferrel child, we did a bang cut on thanksgiving day.


And can I point out that despite the horrible color in these photos from memaws bathroom she has new pink glasses as well. Which these pretty pink ones that don't fit all the way around her ears, she actually will wear!

Brothers

This is an image that I have to hold onto, because all to soon I'm sure the scene will be more like WWF smack down with blood and crying.

Christmas tradition

Our new found christmas tradition began last year, we vow to do it every year. To travel up to the mountains and cut down our very own Christmas tree! However, this will be the last year we have our 4 wheel drive to travel the rocky snow packed road. (we left Dylan with memaw, it was too cold for a little guy). But next year with 4 kids in tow it looks like we'll be packing 2 sleds and investing in chains for the van. Oh and the doll of a girl in purple isn't one of our's in case I start confusing people. I know its hard to keep up with us and our multiplying family.

Baby hidding

Emma is holding a walkie-talkie, Brennon has the other one. Emma comes to me and says "mom, we want to play find the baby, so can you hide Dylan for us to go find?"



I wonder exactly where she was thinking I would hide him?

one month

yes, well actually due to being MIA for awhile little Dylan is older now, but here he is at 1 month..wow time flys

sadly missing

Oh the trials of moving around furniture and rearranging rooms, OH how sad it is to not have my Internet for a whole week. but oh what joy to finally be back so I bring you some more blogging...

Adam and Eve

Let me set the scene, (and no I'm not claiming to be God, but just the enforcer of rules in my household).

Brennon has a bright blue bag with birthday candy from a fellow classmate. Once in the car he claims, not asks, but claims he is going to eat it all up and share just one piece with Emma. Mommy explains that the candy needs to wait until after we are home and have eaten some lunch.

We arrive home Emma and Brennon head to their usual spot, the step, to wait for mommy while I unbuckle 2 more children from the car and gather all the loose papers and sippy cups that seem to multiply all over.

When arriving to the door I see chocolaty grins from both older children and immediately Brennon points to Emma and says
"Emma said we could eat them"

Emma's Lot

Poor Emma-Jean as fate would have it she got peed on.
The very first day we brought Brennon home from the hospital she was standing on the changing table looking at him and sure enough he peed, had she not had glasses it would have gotten her right in the eye. Of course being so little she freaked out, screamed and well, it was an amazing scene.

Today while changing Dylan, Emma was gazing at him lovingly when he proceeded to take aim and sure enough right in the face again, this time more the forehead then anything. Fortunately this story ends up with Emma and mommy laughing as Emma washed her face and mommy washed everything else.
