Tree trimming

Well we got the big tree all trimmed, and then it decided to tip over!! Luckily no ornaments broke and only a few fell off. We've got it tied down now so it should stay up. It looks great all decorated. It was pretty homely before but the boys loved it at the lot so home it came and we made it gorgeous! Next year I'm voting for a cut your own place!!!

Cuku & the sled

All the boys enjoyed Grampy's old sled this morning. Even Cuku wanted to go for a ride. He had to settle for chasing after them instead. It was hysterical to watch the puppy try to figure the sled out. It was a fun time for all outside, except Jake & Tom did not like all the dog kisses!!

Tree time

We got our real tree last night but it needed to thaw before we could decorate it, so we put the fake tree up in the boys' bedroom with lights and they got to have it on for a bit after they got in bed. Hopefully we'll do ornaments for both trees this afternoon. Both guys are sacked out after playing outside for an hour this morning.

New bed!!!

Tom has been doing really well (for the most part) in his new twin bed. it has worked out MUCH better than the toddler bed. We also took the crib down so there has been no other option (besides brother's bed!) We have to let Jake go down later at nap or just have quiet time, and it takes a while int he evening but we're getting there. Next thing you know we'll be potty training! (I hope!) Tom loooves the bed and Aunt Dana's old comforter. The snowman pics are from when we had breakfast with Santa this past weekend.

fun indoors

Ohh I can't believe my mom didn't beat with me with a wet noodle when we were just home. I haven't posted in ages, plus I forgot my camera to take pics on our trip!!! Oh well. here are some I've been meaning to post. We have had very cold weather lately so lots of playing indoors. The boys have been great at making forts and hideaways. They also enjoyed a special treat when Dad took them out to get donuts a few Saturdays ago. They were enjoyed well!

trying to post these to use on a MB.

Scary Pumpkins!!

This was the first year that we carved pumpkins instead of painting or coloring them. Jason did all the carving & together he & Tom designed the large face with the pointy teeth, ooh!! Jake drew his own face, which was smaller, so Dad accidentally cut the gap between the nose & mouth but he still looks very scary!!!
