Did you really need those anyway?

Sorry Santa, but a plate of cookies left unattended on the floor is really anybodies game.

Wise Men a Fightin'

Apparently Mary and Joseph did not stand a chance.

Apparently we need to do a better job of teaching our child exactly how you visit someone who has just had a baby. But really why would you make little people who just stand around, where is the set for David and Goliath anyway?

This year Mason is asking Santa for a robot tiger, violin and arrows (the kind that point you in what direction to go). I am sure there are many other little children with the very same list, I sure hope that his toys don't get mixed up with someone elses. I think that Brayden is whispering to Santa not to be fooled, that other child has not been as good as his little smile would suggest and that the violin will only be used as a sword...don't fall for it santa!!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend

There was a cute little boy,


and a Daddy teaching his boy,


and a boy waiting while his daddy played


and a little girl who should of been napping,


and a little girls who wanted nothing of a nap but did want out of her tent


and there was also a precious little boy who I got a grand total of 0 pictures. So to my little Brayden, I am sorry you are the classic second child and the photo album will have less pictures of you than any other children. I do however feel it is my responsibility as your mommy to give you an adequate amount of childhood issues for you to have well into your adulthood, so far it looks like I am doing a pretty good job!

This would be a perfect time for all the second and middle children to tell me how mistreated you were growing up and how I am forever warping my child.

With an imagination like this...who needs toys?

Who said costumes were for Halloween? When this costume is put on we no longer have a Mason but "Transformer the Bumblebee," and the costume is on 90% of the time. Yes, we are probably known by our neighbors as "the house with the little boy who is ALWAYS dressed up." Here are a few pictures from the Transformer's modeling session the other day.

Trouble in the Making

What do you do with 5 cousins...all boys? You say things like "if you play fight I don't want to hear about it when you get hurt!"

First Day of School

I realize this is rather belated...in fact there is a lot of blogging that I am behind on. Excuse 1: We are doing the preschool thing three days a week. Excuse 2: I think I am having blogers block...is that such a thing? What is worse boring blogs or no blogs at all?
Can you spot what is wrong with this picture? Look at the feet...he knows which shoe goes on what foot, but sometimes he does it wrong just to try to get a reaction. I feel it is my job to not react...if you see my child with backwards underwear, pants or shoes just know that he is crying out for attention:)
