FuN FUN Fun!

Josh and Trevor had such a great time ! Trevor wanted to take a kitty home to play with "rissa's kitty" code for Auntie Marissa's kitty cat's (Itchy and Scratchy). He was a bit saddened that I would not allow that, but recovered when a little boy from Josh's class was missing his glove. Trev decided to help in the hunt, I think because it meant being able to revisit each animal stall. He managed to pet each animal again, while saying "I don't see the glove in here!" Creative kiddo I tell ya!

"I got my eye on you!"
"Let's check in the sheep pen for Aidan's glove."



Trevor would of kissed him if I hadn't intervened! ;-)

COOL DUDES!


Trevor would walk up to each animal and loudly say, "hi horse, HI sheep, hi goat, hi pig (whose name was "Babe" ~ Trevor shouted, "HI BABY"

Childrens Farm

Just had to share a super fun memory from today real quick, then my bed is calling my name! My nephew Josh was involved in a live nativity with his Kindergarten class and it was only 1/2 hour away. So off Trev and I went to see this very exciting scene. I was trying to explain it to Trevor and he was so convinced that Josh was going to be a dog in the scene~ I was just hoping Trev wouldn't be too disappointed when that was not the case.

Anyhow, it was just precious. Mary came into the scene riding on a donkey, with Joseph escorting....
Next came the angels
And the Wisemen
And all the animals
And Josh, the best shepherd of them all...
We sang Christmas carols and heard the Christmas story. It was a really special way to teach the Christmas story. Trevor was still and speechless throughout the time. :-) We were then able to go and pet the animals~ hold a chicken, pet a goat, almost kissed a sheep, etc. More pictures to come.

Oh Christmas Tree!

Christmas Trees ALWAYS look better with gifts underneath them! Whaaa Hooo only 2 more gifts left to buy! ;-)

Ginger Bread House

Family Photos

We had so much fun taking these pictures. It was quite a trick to get all 3 of us to have eyes opened and smiles present. Just think if there were more children in toe? :) Merry Christmas from our house to yours!

First snow spotted in So Ho

Oh, how I love the snow! I think my excitement for snowy weather has worn off on my dear son. He was equally as excited last night when the white designs sprinkled the bushes and grass. He just couldn't stop saying that more and more was coming...."look, mama (isn't mama so cute, I love it) more snow coming, so fun!"

You can imagine his joy when this morning it was still snowing....as he walked outside, he said "THANK YOU GOD, for the snow!" He played in the backyard for about 5 minutes...making tracks in the snow, loving every minute of it. Just enough time to get his pant legs soaked and his legs "freezin"~ "I so freezin ma, my legs so freezin ma."

Amazed he was again, that when we arrived at my work, there was also snow there. Again, he gave thanks to God for this miracle as well. Oh child, how I cherish these wow moments you've been having. It reminds to celebrate the day to day happenings like a white blanket of snow covering Gods greenish earth.

We were not able to enjoy the snow in the afternoon, because dear Trevor threw up in the van....I guess the van has been initiated in very vast amounts! Joys of being a mama! Hopefully it will stay around for a few more days so we can enjoy it!

I caved

Trev and I finished up most of our Christmas shopping today. I don't have the right amount of patience for the long lines to check out in and the traffic surrounding the stores. :-) Trevor was a trooper through all 6 of the stores we quickly breezed into and out of. The last store was Linens and Things...he spotted a Gingerbread house. I did it, I caved and got it for him. But secretly, making a ginger bread house has always been something I wanted to do. After making it tonight, I do now see why my parents didn't cave for this one. It was way super fun but totally messy and large amounts of sugary substances were used in the process. Trev was in his glory. He called the frosting glue and it did take him about halfway thru to realize the glue was yummy tasting! Dan and I probably had just about the same amount of fun that Trev did. Dan and I tried to make a little pattern, however Trev usually entered with his own versions of our patterns. I will post a picture soon of our creation....my batteries are dead in the ole camera.

I do think that maybe just maybe this will be a tradition for our family!

Artist in the making

Trevor's new favorite activity is to draw and paint with watercolors. We have already gone through 2 packages of paint and about 1000 Q tips. He has the time of his life. He insists on making pictures for about 10 people on his list and occasionally various animals like the elephant at the circus or random dogs, etc. Needless to say we have soooo many pictures, I have attempted to sneak a few in the garbage, but he has quite the memory and usually asks where that specific picture is? ;-)

So my brain started to work overtime here to find something that was non consumable but still just as fun for him. We came up with the dry erase board. Here is a few of his master pieces!
