This kid cracks me up!
We’ve been doing a lot of cleaning and reorganizing and one thing I needed to check was if the boys water shoes still fit them before our beach trip in February. Riley was wearing footie pajamas so Todd had to disrobe him to try the shoes on. But then he did NOT want to take them off or put on any clothes but he did want to also wear the Iron Man mask, “his costume” he kept saying. He walked around naked in his water shoes until lunch time.
So we bought the boys a play kitchen for Christmas….err….I mean SANTA got the boys a kitchen for Christmas. We knew this was the present we wanted to be from Santa, but with driving to Indiana and back for Christmas we had to strategize on how to pull this off. In the end, Todd assembled the kitchen over a few nights over at Uncle Buzz’s house (yeah he really took one for the team, getting to watch basketball on a giant TV while assembling, ha!). Then he brought the kitchen back home after the boys were in bed and stored it in the basement. The day we left for Indiana, I loaded the boys into the car while Todd retrieved the kitchen and placed it in the living room in front of the tree so when we returned it would be waiting there for them just like Santa had left it! And I got this video when we returned home of their reaction…..
I couldn’t even believe his reaction and I’m a little embarrassed by it. Thankfully though right after I stopped filming they both got super excited and played with it for a long time while we unloaded the car and got dinner ready and what not. We’ve moved it into our kitchen so they can cook while I cook and they LOVE it!
One other gift the boys got for Christmas was this huge plastic outdoor playhouse! We got a major deal on this house from craigslist back in early November and it came with this awesome little gator see-saw and a little chair! The weather this week has gotten warmer and warmer every day and finally today we assembled the house!
The boys helping carry the roof!
Yay! All done!
Um, mommy, you’re a little big….
I captured some really cute shots of Todd and the boys while we were in the smokies that I just have to share! So much love!
Here we are a week after Christmas and I just realized I never posted any pictures from Thanksgiving other than the Scavenger Hunt!
It was a long drive, though shorter for us than for the Indiana folks! It was our maiden voyage in our new sweet ride! Riley did some reading…
And we stopped to take a break!
There was a lot of hiking
Boys sharing an apple
Guitar Hero playing
And some golf watching with Papa!
And this is my 10 year old niece who is going to be taller than me by next Thanksgiving for sure. She has an unfair advantage of two parents over 6 ft tall, but still.
