Merry Christmas!

Best of Friends

Lately Snoopy has become Dylan's favorite playmate (whether she likes it or not!).

He has learned how to put her in and take her out of her kennel.

He feeds and waters her (I wish he could walk her...lol) but he tries.

Sometimes I get so frustrated with having a dog in such a small space

and having to walk her when it feels like -2 outside,

but then I realize how much

Dylan loves her

and how much fun they have and remember

that it is a great thing for him and for her, and

she is a great dog as far as dogs go.

Dylan and Snoopy on the Pirate Ship! Dylan worked very hard for a long time to make his sail

(my broom) stand straight up, and there's a pirate hat ontop!

Making Snoopy Lunch :-/ (he was proud of it)

Teasing Snoopy with his candy cane, she is very tolerant!

Today Dylan's school took a field trip to the union to see the 25ft Christmas Tree and the child size gingerbread house, as well as stop for some pizza.

Dylan had a great time! And Josh and I tagged along as volunteers so we could make sure we didn't miss anything! Plus I get nervous with that many kids being in public and on the bus. I like to have my eye on him.

They also sang some Christmas Songs!

Family Day

Today was the first weekend Josh has had off in FOREVER...and even though I am sure there is something he probably should have been working on,we took the day just to hang out. We started with sleeping in, then Applebee's for lunch, followed by going to the movies to see the "Princess and the Frog" which was really cute, then we went to the mall to shop and play, then dinner at the dining hall, and ended the night with the Christmas Music Show on campus....It was a great day and Dylan had alot of fun. It makes me excited for when Josh finishes school! I love spending the day with my boys!

Overdue

I was cleaning off our computer desk and realized that I had this portrait still just sitting around from when we went to Kings Island.....I couldn't not post this picture!

Dylan and Daddy on the Little Bill Giggle Coaster for the 100th time!

So Honest

This morning we were just laying around the bedroom and I had finally decided to drag myself out of bed and into the shower. Dylan went into the hallway (right infront of our door) to play. While I was getting ready to get in someone knocked on the door. I whispered to Dylan from the bathroom "just be quiet cause mommy is going to get into the shower". (Since I had no clothes on and really didn't want to answer the door). Instead Dylan yells...."HOLD ON!!!"

Then there was another knock and the lady identified herself as Maintenance for our building. So Dylan yells back "HOLD ON A SECOND, MOMMY HAS TO PUT CLOTHES ON, YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE HER NAKED!" and you could hear the chuckle of the lady on the other side.

So I soon answered the door...very embarrassed, but at least I started my morning laughing.
