Carter's class party

Here are a few pictures from Carter's "Winter" party! I think the kids had fun - although I was told by him that I didn't play the game right! Now to have 15 days off with my boys! Ready to kick this cold so we can enjoy our holiday.

Our Angel

This is from Carter's religious education Christmas program - they did a great job and he didn't even have to wear a robe (I remember running into the coat room at the parish center hoping and praying that there were still white robes with the orange dots and that I didn't have to wear a brown or green robe!)

Just because something makes me feel like they should have a picture in front of the tree in their jammies EACH AND EVERY YEAR! Aren't they going to love it when they are 14 & 16!

Ice Skating

We took the boys ice skating yesterday - I use we loosely as Sean hasn't skated before and was pretty certain he'd end up having knee surgery this year if he tried! He instead photographed the outing (I'll save you the inappropriate pictures of my backside!) he was having a bit too much fun testing out the camera. The boys did pretty well, skating behind the chair helped and Carter ended the day by doing it on his own - he kind of looked like a speed skater on the corners as he moved his feet really fast. I got to channel my inner Linda Franny Annie - I don't know if that is really her name but she was a skater in Disney on Ice when I was little and I desperately wanted to be Linda Franny Annie - I remember my old neighbor, Mendy, calling me Shanny-Franny-Annie! Sean thought I might have more moves on the ice & I assured him I would have if I wasn't trying to help two kids by myself - my years and years of skating in our basement have paid off!

Our Naughty Elf

Chynna has been naughty this week - first she toilet papered our Christmas tree & then she put the boys' undies in their stockings - she also spent a day in the fridge! I didn't get a picture of the Playmobile police officers holding her up last week as the boys' reclaimed their toys too quickly! She sure doesn't seem to scare them into being good but she's a fun little Christmas friend.

His other BFF

Ms. Kitty - he had to wear his halo for her too! I'm not sure she thinks he's very angelic when he insists on carrying her around!

Linc's program

Lincoln had his first program - he and his little friends were angels! We didn't get many pictures as he stood RIGHT behind another little boy but he sang (I didn't know if he would). He is loving preschool & seeing his BFF's Molly & Kayla a few times a week & he loves Ms. Edna who teases him and we know he loves that! He insisted on wearing a "Papa shirt" and I complied because I was afraid he wouldn't wear his white shirt as he hates buttons!
