Happenings of Late

I haven't posted about my family for a little while, I know bad mom, but life is just too busy. So here are a few pictures and a few thoughts of the last few weeks.

Dawson likes to ask how to spell words and he often puts letters together that don't spell anything, so he asked me "what does DSO spell?" I said "nothing" kind of getting annoyed with this game, and he got so excited, "Dad I just spelled NOTHING!" We laughed our heads off.

The kids have played in the snow alot. Cait loves it, Cora wishes she loved it and Dawson can handle it.
We also made sugar cookies. I have been trying to use my cute advent calendar as an activity calendar too and do fun Christmasy things a few days a week. The kids loved it and I am pretty sure that cookies was all they had for dinner that day. We went to my old roommates house for a Christmas party. There are now more children than adults when we get together these days. We are kind of excited for the day when the kids can stay home and we can all go to Park City or Vegas for a weekend.

We played Santa and his reindeer today. The kiddos made reindeer faces and hats in school so that helped with the role play. They loved it of course.

And last but not least, Cait and I made an adorable set for Cora for Christmas. We made a TUTU and a Crown. I think they turned out great. Cait was excited to help and designed the crown all by herself. It was fun to make something super cute with Cait.

I am the Coolest

You should have entered the giveaways at All Things Thrifty cuz look what I won!!!! I was so excited I screamed and scared the kiddo's. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.

I Triple Dog Dare You!

Stuck? Stuck. It's Stuck. It's STUCK!!!.. only the firemen didn't come and neither did the cops, just a screaming Caitlin and a very upset Dawson with tears running down his cheeks stuck to the basketball poll by his tongue.

As a good mother I knew just what to do. Some warm water and the problem was solved. The first thing out of Dawson's mouth, having seen Flick with a bandage on his tongue, is my tongue bleeding?

Dawson Said....

"Mom a dragon could kick the crap out of a mosquito."
