book time

Take one: Nope.  Not quite.

Take two: Getting closer!

Take three: Whew! They actually held still long enough for me to snap this! Good thing it's such a large chair.

dimpled bottom and dead tree

Random pictures from the last week.  Warning: naked, dimpled baby bottom below!
Carter is still going through his NAKE PHASE and refuses to wear his diaper and clothes. This is just one of the outfits that I caught him in:

THE TREE COMES DOWN!!!

Aaron and Dawson spent an hour trying to get the EIGHT STRANDS of lights off this brittle horribly DEAD tree! It was hilarious.  The branches and needles were falling off right and left and by the time they were done...

The tree looked like THIS!

Mind you, this is the BEFORE picture of the tree.  Lush and full and beautiful.  POOR TREE!!

Aaron, thanks so much for your help! I couldn't have done it without you!! I love that you're so close and you can come over and play when you're not working.  Love you!!

if you give a boy a dart gun

If you give a boy a dart gun for Christmas,

He's going to want a dart to go with it.  If you give him a dart, the boy shoots everything he sees.

When the boy shoots everything he sees, the adults see that it is fun!

Since the adults see that it's fun,

they join in.

When the adults join in, it's all out WAR!

Since it's all out war, they have a lot of fun shooting others.  The adults take it very seriously!

Since the adults take it very seriously, there are darts flying from all directions.

Because there are darts flying from all directions, there may be some casualties.

When there are too many casualties, the war is over and peace is delared.

Now that peace is declared, the darts are all gathered up.

When the darts are gathered up,

the boy will want a dart gun to go with them!
