Gavin did a little clearance shopping with me...at least I think it was him
It snowed quite a bit so we decided to surprise daddy and shovel the driveway while he was at his Sunday morning meeting. We did our driveway and then did the single lady's driveway next door and still had a little time so we headed over to the widow's house across the street.
Gavin: Whew! This is hard work!
Me: It's good for you, it builds character
Gavin (annoyed): Why do you always say that?
LOL!! At least I know he listens to me if he remembers me telling him this before ; )
Mason would pick up the snow I missed and throw it at me while I shoveled
Gavin got his own hot cocoa mug for Christmas.
Making daddy's favorite cookies! Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
I took the kids and the neighbor kids to the museum to see nativities from around the world, antique Santa's and some pretty amazing gingerbread houses. We even got to see a nativity that was carved into the end of a wooden match stick!
My In-laws new English Bulldog puppy that we absolutely love!
Gavin got a remote control car from Santa (this is a replacement for the original that quit working) and my living room has turned into a arena/battleground/race track for my 7 and 37 year old boys.
On days I work I randomly text my hubby to send a picture of "What's going on". This was one he sent me. #electronic addicts
Here's another one! Good thing I was at work near medical professionals because I about had a heart attack! No helmets and my baby is on a dirt bike!
This hat!!
We had friends over to play games and they wouldn't have been able to sleep with us making noise so we put on a movie downstairs and this is how I found them. I can't stop laughing over the fact that Gavin was using Chloe's bum for a pillow
My nephew Chase turned one!
My brother Paul kept putting Chase's binky on his head so he would touch his head with his sticky hands
Mason's date night. He really liked all the juke boxes everywhere
When 4 year olds dress themselves and daddy does their hair!
Chloe got a couple of bags for her birthday and she turned one of them into her "church bag"
Chloe painted my nails while we watched a movie
Snuggling with my baby girl
My zumba buddies : )
Most people do the "duck face" my kids do the "fish hook"
Chloe doing a "headstand"
Getting my toe nails painted
Gavin playing with Grandpa Blakely's new puppy Sammy
Gavin had been asking for "cinnamon sticks" for a little over a week and they weren't the actual cinnamon sticks we thought they were. We finally figured out what he was really talking about and then we were all craving them. We went to a few grocery stores and a few Mexican restaurants that we thought might have them. With no good leads I sent out a mass text to some of my girlfriends and we tracked them down pretty quick. I went and picked up Liz and we headed to Sam's club deli (who knew) and we stocked up on some warm and yummy churros! I was told by another friend that we had to document #thegreatchurrohuntof2015
One day while I was at work and Cody was home with the kids...
Daddy took Chloe on a nature hike while waiting for Mason to get done with preschool
Gavin painted his fingernails and toe nails
Cody (accidently) gave Mason a big goose egg on his forehead with the remote control
Daddy home with kids = Trouble!
Saturday snuggle in our bed
Gavin didn't want Chloe's feet to get wet from the snow so he carried her out to the van after church, so sweet!
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE doing these snack trays for the kids and how much nagging/whining/fighting/etc. they prevent? If you don't do this, you should really consider it, it's been a lifesaver for me!!
