Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christams and a Happy New Year!!!

Remeber that 2 year old voice I was talking about?

This is a glimpse of it. Here is Teague running after me, in my face, letting me know of his disapproval with a request I thought I had just filled for him. "NO MOMMY NO! LIGHT GREEN CUP, LIGHT GREEN!" In my head...really, really can anything be simple around here!

Let me go back just minutes before this face. Teague came over and asked me for a drink. Ok let me get you a drink sweet boy. He makes a request to have his drink in a light green cup. Ok we only have a green cup so I get it and show him and begin to fill it up. Teague tells me, "no, no mommy light green cup"! (There is no light green cup. It does not exist and never has) Ok Teague do you mean the yellow cup? I take it out and hold it up while I fill it up as well. Teague again tells me, "no, no mommy light green cup"! Ok this is something I will not be able to fix. So I place both cups down tell him he can choose which one he would like to drink from because we do not have any light green cups, just green and yellow, and walk away!

Thus the pictures with the hand out, face tight with concern! Mom I know what I want and you are not getting it right! I will just yell at you in your face until you see things my way! Really can anything, like a drink, be simple around here! The joys of the whims of a 2 year old:)

Fill your tummy with lots of cookies...fa la la la la...

Oh the joys of cookies! Mix, roll, cut...but please don't keep eating the dough before we bake them! I was taking the pictures, Dad was helping Teague, Trey was following the rule of cut remove and place on the sheet, and Taatjes was cut and eat! Good times and good eats!

And no cookie cutting is not so strenuous that the boys needed to remove their shirts. Bare chested is just the way to go now a days. Gotta let the muscles breathe:)

OH GROSS!

ya think this is how kids get so sick!!! This is Taatjes sleeping buddy. Good thing I found him before he was returned to the bed. I grabbed him and washed him this time. But, who knows how many other times he has been placed here to rest for a minute and then picked up to snuggle with...yuck!

"Oh No Wrinkles"

Have I mentioned how funny kids are?!
Tonight during Teague's bath he for the first time truly noticed the wrinkles on his hands (from the water). He became so concerned that he climbed out of the tub and ran to his dad to show him. Apparently he is used to me brushing things like that off:) He looked distressed and was holding up his hands saying"oh no wrinkles, oh no wrinkles, fix daddy, fix"! He then kept asking dad for a "paper towel" to wipe the wrinkles off! When dad told him the paper towel would not fix the problem he was even more distressed! Finally we were able to convince him to get dressed and read a book. After the story he looked at his hands (which by then we had forgotten about) and said "yea, all fixed"! Priceless laughs right there!
