Cooking is always a good way to keep anyone busy |
No matter how busy we always have time to talk to Daddy |
Give them a sponge and they're busy for an hour or so |
Practicing our writing is another great go to. Although sometimes the set up and clean up takes longer |
Surprise packages -Nothing Better
They got a package from my sister. Look at all that stuff she fit in that little box |
They each got an ornament and were pretty tickled |
It took some convincing but we finally got Lily to actually hang her little lamb on the tree |
There was even a game for the boys |
and a book for Lily |
They also got letters from Santa on the same day |
Thomas and Natalie's church had their Christmas service early
The kids were involved by having a Christmas story read to them |
Natalie and the group always make the music fun |
The little kids had a party during the service |
They made crafts and played games |
Ella was happy to go get her little sister after the service. They are so sweet |
They came home with all kinds of goodies |
Then Jen & I, along with Sami, went into Thomas's classroom to help them make Gingerbread Houses. I'm pretty sure they weren't meant to be eaten but she ate it none the less |
We tire them out but they certainly don't sleep as long as we think they should. Generally in bed by 8:30 and up around 6:30 |
If all else fails we send them to Papa where they watch TV and get candy |
STICKERS |
Because I guess we don't have enough toys they have to find something else to keep them busy |
Some days we even have to close the gate to keep them on the level with the toys |
We do try to get them to watch a bit of TV too but they don't sit still much |
again because we obviously don't have enough toys they use the Daddy Army Nutcracker |
Yes, I'm the one who gave them the peanuts. Who knows what they would have found to crack. |
Of course there is always the standard running and screaming after dumping out all the DVD's |
A Random Act of Kindness
The Bouncy House
Charlie and the kids even came along this time |
I think I need to put this one on a coffee mug or something. |
Wyatt was a little grumpy but Papa didn't mind |
Santa was even there and SHE did a great job |
Pizza, juice and cupcakes. |
