More Kiddo Funnies

C has learned what buttons to push to get D to get upset. And, too frequently, he uses this knowledge. A lot of the time it is in the car when I can't separate the two. Here is the latest scenario...

We just pulled out of the garage to go to Wednesday Night Thanksgiving Service.

D: It is dark outside. I don't like the dark.

C: No it isn't - it is beautiful out.

D: No it's not - it is dark outside.

C: No, it is beautiful and sunny.

D: NO IT ISN'T - IT IS DARK.

C: Just beautiful and sunny. So nice out.

D: NO IT IS NOT, C!!

C: Yes, it is just so nice out.

Had to stop laughing to turn around and tell them to stop. Good thing Dan was driving.

Has It Been That Long???

Wow, it has been a whole week since I last posted. We have been busy...I worked Monday and Wednesday...Tuesday I baked for Thanksgiving...Wednesday night we had a Thanksgiving Service at church...Thursday we went to my M&D's for Thanksgiving...Friday we put up the Christmas tree and went to Karaoke...Saturday we went to Dan's M&D's for Thanksgiving and in the evening I went to our Pastor's 50th Birthday Party...today, went to church and finished putting the ornaments on our tree. Somewhere in there I also managed to address my Christmas cards. I just have to get my letter copied and stuffed in the envelopes then put stamps on them. I don't send out as many letters as I do just the cards so it shouldn't take long to finish them. They should be in the mail by Tuesday at the latest.

A Weekend with Firsts...

Well this is the weekend for first...at least for me, K and D.

For me - I think this is the earliest that I have my Christmas letter written. I also got my first Christmas card - KUDOS to Paula who is so on top of things! I am waiting for my cards and then I have to print the letters out...they will be in the mail shortly after Thanksgiving...

For K - this was her first time trying cereal. She wasn't very interested in it but she swallowed a little and spit most of it out. Not too sure she likes the stuff.

And for D - this was his first trip to the Emergency Room. Now, C is an old hat with already 3 trips in his almost 3 years but D's first. He has been trying to stick things up his nose but I have always caught him...today, I was reading the newspaper and heard him cry out in panic. I thought maybe he was having a bloody nose because there was some coloration by his nose. I could see panic in his eyes but he said no to the bloody nose. I looked closer...he shoved a M&M up his nose! He kept blowing his nose and a big chunk of chocolate finally came out but we took him in just to make sure nothing was still up there. He got a stuffed fish from the Doc and I think finally learned his lesson not to stick something up his nose because IT HURTS!

Mid-Week Hiatus

My hubby was staying at a hotel for work closeby that had a waterpark. The regular rooms were booked for the days that he needed to stay so they put him up in a suite. Let me just say it was "SWEET." It was huge...I should have taken pictures of it. It had a 12X30 "livingroom/kitchen area" and then the bedroom/bathroom area was just as big. It even had a huge jacuzzi tub.

Well, needless to say with a room like that and free access to the waterpark, he had visitors. We went down Wednesday night after work and stayed until Friday morning when he had to go back to the office. The boys played in the jacuzzi tub with some toys Thursday morning and when Dan got back from working we ate supper and headed to the waterpark...It was completely empty - we had the whole place to ourselves! So, Dan, if you ever get sent down there again - with or without the suite - we are coming during the week and not on the weekend!

Here are some pics...

Dan with all three...

The boys on top of Daddy...

Even K got into the water!!

It is so fun to watch the boys become less and less afraid of the water. C did a couple of headers into the water - which normally after one he would not get back in the water. This time he just wiped his face and got back in. The same with D. It was lots of fun!

My first win as a blogger!!

I just got back from a mid-week hiatus...more posted about that in a bit...to find that I WON!

Barefoot Mommy was hosting a giveaway from Family Inspired on the ETSY website. I won the Maddie Girl flannel doll set. Just like paper dolls only flannel instead. How fun...

Thank you Barefoot Mommy and Family Inspired for the giveaway! (Tried to get a pic but didn't work - Sorry!)
