Santa Fun!

We took the kids to see Santa today! Brynlee loved it as always. Will was not so brave. He had a little crying spell, but we managed to get a photo. I assured him he was still on the good list despite his uncertainty of the jolly man!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Today it felt like Christmas time. The wind chill was in the teens, and the temperature dropped to the 20's (Burrrr). We had a little snow and I mean a little. Brynlee wanted to go outside and make snow angels. Of course the touch of snow on the grass was hardly visible, but we went outside for about 5 min (it was too cold). We hope we will get some snow again soon, so we can make Frosty and some snow angels!

William was not sure about the COLD!

Just to let everyone see there was snow (the white below the trees).

All Boy . . . & some Cute Pics

Well, raising a little boy is fun and challenging! After having Miss Brynlee the "angel child", William brings many surprises to each day.

Last year William payed no attention to the Christmas tree (being only 2 months), this year it has him infatuated. Many of our ornaments now have some teeth marks in them, and the ribbons on the tree take on a new look everyday.

He also has a strong desire to continue to get into the chewing gum drawer (the gum is going to have to find a new location). Many of the gum packages have teeth marks on the ends of them. Josh came home the other day and asked me if I was so eager to get a piece of gum that I had to start chewing on the package (ha ha).

Brynlee being the great big sister came running to me this morning crying "William has something small in his mouth". I found him in the kitchen with a chicken bouillon cube in his mouth (who knows how he managed to find that).

He also loves being in his sister's room. He will play with her doll house, her kitchen, her barbies (daddy loves that). His favorite is her Ariel necklace that sings.

This little boy makes me laugh (and want to pull my hair out) everyday!! Despite his strong will, I must say "Thank God for little boys"!!!

I often find him standing in his rocking chair. He heard me coming here and started to sit.

Here he is playing with sister's doll house.

Singing to Ariel with sister. (Brynlee likes to put on her Little Mermaid swimsuit, tiara, and necklace.) William can keep a beat pretty well and sing on key! (Don't let him fool you; he is all boy!)This use to be Josh's horse when he was little. We do not have much room in our house, and this horse stays in the kitchen until William pushes it into the living room and gets on it saying "Ma Ma, ide orseee".

Been Tagged

I have been tagged, and it is a good thing. I have not posted anything for awhile. Not that I do not have anything to post. My time has gotten away from me. Well, I am to find the 4th picture in my 4th folder. This is Brynlee's 2nd Christmas (2006). What I think is funny about this pic is, Josh in the back ground filming and messing with the big wad of dip in his mouth. It is sad that our children know what Daddy's spit cups look like. Maybe someday he will be successful in quiting this bad habit.

Follow the yellow brick road . . . .

Whew. . . I always tell myself not to get all stressed out about things that should be fun, but I still do. Getting Dorothy and my Lollipop kid ready was a chore. First of all, finding a lollipop turned out to be more difficult than I thought. I looked all over, but could not find one. Therefore, I made one. I have to say I was quite proud of myself. Miss Brynlee thought her dress was "itchy" so we had to put a white summer dress underneath (we do not have a slip). She also did not like her pigtail bows touching her ears, so we had to make the ribbon shorter. Since William needed rosy cheeks, I put on some Smashbox blush. Brynlee thought Dorothy needed makeup too. She got to wear some Bare Escentuals mineral veil, blush, and lip gloss. Now, we were ready to follow the yellow brick road. Despite all the drama in getting ready, I think they both had a good time. Brynlee was asking if we could do Halloween again!! Here are a few pictures of my Wizard of Oz cuties!!

Dorothy and Munchkin. William got to wear some hair gel for his hairdo.

Heading out for our Halloween fun!
