Having fun at home.

Boy do we love being at home.  Don't get me wrong, I would very much go crazy if we did not get out of the house on a regular basis, but boy do we all (Luke excluded!) love waking up and not having to be in a rush to go anywhere.  I'm so thankful for my hubby for bringing home the paycheck so we can play, play, play all day!  The boys say, "Thanks daddy!"  

I just realized that the boys have their pj bottoms on still.

And of course the 'Bob's' are on Adler's feet.

They're having a little snack time

while Olivia stays close by for the hopeful drop

of goldfish or raisins!  

What a treat.

I often find her eating their snack if they leave it unattended 

for a couple seconds. 

Then we have snack time again.

The latest craze is to climb (well I mean...jump) on

Adler's bed and attempt to

climb up the rocking chair to get on the bed.

There have been several bumps and a few shed tears

as a result.

Boys will be boys!

More climbing!

p.s. I LOVE gap pj's.

They can clearly be worn during the day

and they're so darn cute & comfy.

Why do they make most hard hats without the

adjustable strap inside that makes it fit to size. 

Plastic slips and slides all over and does not

stay on their head.  What a waste.

But because they love these hats so much,

they're getting another one included in their

tool set for Christmas. 

It's sure to be a hit!

He loves being goofy.

And he loves this hat.

(especially when Adler wants to wear it)

And I love his puffy cheeky smile when he's goofy.

Change.

Change is so hard.

Especially when you don't want your morning nap anymore,

but can't quite make it to your

afternoon nap!

Little stinker.

As I told you before, we make cookies weekly (at least).

Here's Adler enjoying the dough.

Again.

Was this a scene or what.....

First of all, as usual my mom was Mrs. Scrooge

and said she was not going to have a tree this year

(like she says every year)

Drives me crazy!

Because as you know I love Christmas.

So I was pleased to hear that they received a donated tree

from my sister & her hubby

who cut it down for them from someone who wanted to

get rid of some trees, it was time to decorate this mammoth!

(Think of the Griswold's on National Lampoon's! haha)

Mammoth as in this tree is probably 15 feet tall

and has to be placed in the middle of the dome

to fit in their house.

Needless to say it's beautiful,

but how were we supposed to decorate it?

Well, you grab grandma's 'grabber' thing, a ladder, and

a good lookin man to reach way up to the top.

With MANY lights & ornaments broken

in the process.

It was quite the show to say the least.

Brock enjoys the rocking chair at G & G Johnson's too.

Adler had a lot of fun recently helping Grandpa plow snow

in the bobcat.

We even had to pray for Grandpa a few nights because

as Adler says, "I want to pray for Grandpa because he has a big

bucket for his bobcat!"

Then there are the days that Brock does make it through

lunch without a little snooze to hold him over.

This day he particularly wanted to play & not eat.

So he rubbed his plate of food on his head.

I can even see a chunk in his hair!

What a funny boy.

And he clearly knows he's pretty funny too!

So we had to take a mini shower to get the

food out of his hair.

Then they thought it was play time,

when it was very much naptime

for both boys and mom!

I'm feeling a little better now finally.

So my daily job productivity is increasing

slow but sure!

A couple days ago, we got a special treat....

Grandma Yvonne, auntie Erin, and cousin Gabe

stopped by to play.

Erin was in charge of watching the boys in the bathroom

so I gave them each a push up and bubbles

and told her to keep it under control!!!

HAHAHAHAHA

Brock had chocolate everywhere as you can see.

I love chocolate.

No one could take that thing away from him either.

Stinker!

This is what went on at our house tonight.

Adler & Brock feeding each other 'puppy chow'.

It was so funny.  Brock just kept his mouth open

so Adler kept putting more in his mouth!

Then I realized what he was doing.

Adler filled Brock's mouth so full that it gave him

an opportunity to scarf the rest down

without other little fingers grabbing at more!

I know, I know....."Thanks mom!"

It was a afternoon for haircuts and cooking!

I gave Adler a haircut.

And no I'm not good at it, but who cares.

Probably just as good as great clips?!

Then I got a hair cut too.

I love the salon I go to in Monti.

Great stylists and the best atmosphere.

They have you lay back on a leather chair with

ottoman to kick your feet up & relax as they wash your hair

and then they give you a 5 minute

neck massage too.

AHHHHH

What a nice little get away!

Then the boys woke up and we started cooking

so we can deliver our 'goodies' to our neighbors tomorrow.

The night consisted of caramel corn, puppy chow,

choc. chip cookies, and fudge!

What a night.

Adler is already excited to deliver the goods tomorrow.

And to top it off.....here's Luke making his fudge

after making a trip to Target for a

few ingredients I forgot! ooops.

Ohh gosh, what a hubby....he's so funny.

Look at him!

Who smiles like that and makes fudge?! Haha
