It Had To Be Done

The annual Christmas picture with Santa. It was J-man's first time. These pictures are such a rip-off, but I just had to have it. I'm a scrapbooker, ya know.

The Boy Child Reads

If you've got 5 minutes to spare, check out this vid of V reading. Oh, and you'll see Jakey, too.

Just a few recent pics

Vessel drew his family on his magnetic drawing board. (He's had that drawing board for about 3 1/2 years now and it's starting to show.)

All bundled up.

We got Jacob a Bumbo chair about 2 months ago but he doesn't seem to like it much. The only time he tolerates it is if one of us is feeding him. He started eating some solids about 3 weeks ago. Sometimes it's like you can't shovel it in fast enough for him.

Dear Santa

Here is Vessel's letter to Santa. You might have to click on the image to make it larger. This is what it says: "Dear Santa, I have been good. I want a spinning toothbrush. And a brain toy. And milk trains. Thank you! Love, Vessel"

Well, I think I know what a spinning toothbrush is, but the other two things? I'm clueless. I better figure it out soon though. Wouldn't want to disappoint the little tyke, right?

Irreverence

Jacob loves to laugh. And he laughs the most at Vessel. It doesn't matter what Vessel is doing, Jacob just laughs at him all the time. Sometimes it seems for no reason at all. Last night Vessel volunteered to say the family prayer. Throughout Vessel's entire prayer Jacob laughed like crazy. That, in turn, made everyone else laugh. We couldn't stop. And that just made Jacob laugh even more. It was too funny.

Thoughts and musings of my day today:

Salame.

It's been awhile.

It's wishing day all day today.

I love guacamole.

Remember ska punk?

I want a king size bed.

I hate it when people feel left out. It's sad.

Frozen leftover Halloween chocolate=yummy little treat after dinner.

Drain is clogged. Must be all that hair I'm losing. I might need Rogaine for women.

My freckles are starting to come out. Or are those just age spots?

Remember rubber cement? Ah, grade school....

I like meatless meat.

How hard is it to flush the toilet? I mean, seriously kid.

What am I passionate about? Good question....

Should I have more kids?

New goal=Stop being ashamed

Chi

Toss this all together, add some corn chips and cheese and you've got yourself some randomosity nachos.

Jacob

First time in the leaves

Not a big fan, apparently, since he's trying to escape.

Me with my sweet baby

Cute red jammies

Bald spot and "bear" bottom

Aaaaaoooooooo!

Halloween pics a week and a half late:

We threw an awesome Halloween shindig this year (for adults only.) Food, decorations, music, dancing, games, prizes....It was fun. A lot of stress for me, but still a lot of fun. :)

Here is the hubs posing as Buccaneer Bones.

I didn't get many pictures of the party, unfortunately. But here is one of the couples with their homemade costumes. They rocked!

Emily brought cupcake hamburgers

Terri brought deviled eyeballs.

Here's my little V at the ward carnival

And here we are as a fam. Lookin' goooooood.

Punkins

Pumpkin Patch

I promised Vessel he could pick out a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch for his birthday. Here are some photos of our afternoon.
