Random Catching up...

I had a smattering of random cell phone pictures...that told a story all their own about what's been happening in our house lately!

Owen and I made a thankful thanksgiving craft...after it was done it went on the mantle.


In progress someone thought google eyes were so awesome he needed them all over his face!

After Black Friday shopping...Owen enjoyed romping around in my new boots! Tucked in his sweat pants and everything.  My little fashionista! 

Owen dismantled our pantry baskets and fruit to create a jail cell for his horse. Sheriff Woody was on the case somewhere in the mix...he has quite the active imagination that kid!

12 hours, 4 trips to Market Basket and 1 trips to Home Depot later...our side walk project was completed.  No thanks to me. Jer did this one all by himself.  And he did an amazing job!!  Love you babe :)


Just as it got too dark to see...he finished the project.  Which included moving the old sidewalks worth of concrete!!

The boys and I chilled all day together...and it looked like this:

As a side note...have kids who like popsicles but eat them slowly??  We found these Dora the Explorer ones and they are slow melt.  It's the only way to go!

Oh and it looked like this too. Boys are hazardous to your hair!!  I had to have Jer help me unravel it. THANK GOODNESS I didn't have to cut it out!

The below picture was taken at Home Depot. Where Jer spent entirely more time in the plumbing aisle than either me or the kids could stand. Picture this:  Owen walking around singing rather loudly along with a Christmas Alvin and the Chipmunks doll that plays an equally loud Christmas song.  Cooper running through the plumbing aisles grabbing pieces of PVC pipe (we were there so long we had mutiny even in the cool car shaped carts that Home Depot has). Me pretending that I was Wall-e with pieces of PVC pipe held to my face like glasses...and Owen dropping a HUGE 3 prong piece of PVC pipe smack on his forehead.  The new bruise matched his playground induced goose egg from that morning...prompting me to call him a double-horned unicorn for the rest of the night. I should note, I was informed before going in that we were buying some plugs for basement drains.  Note to self...ask Jer if it's truly a quick trip...or a long one disguised as short one by description?  If it's the later, me and the boys will stay home!

I snapped this picture b/c I thought it was cute that Cooper was saying Dadda help?  I'm pretty sure Owen had wandered two aisles over to play with a doll house display and Jeremy may or may not have made a comment about...Um Babe. Where's our other son?  Funny what pictures don't say isn't it??


That same night at dinner...Cooper channeled his inner Bob Marley.


Or is it Toadstool from Mario Brothers??  We weren't sure...but it was funny none the less!

Work on our basement (it's been being painted and cleaned up for the sale of the house) has left us with out our washer dryer...and also frankly all the house work has left us with little energy for laundry.  Mount-Laundrymoore is the result:


2 episodes of Private Practice later...I had the boys clothes folded and lined up by their door to put away the next morning! Sheesh! Laundry back up is no laughing matter people!! Don't let it pile up on you.  

Remember these???  Well I found Coop a pair in a tennis shoe...and he LOVES them just like O did.  

I think that is just about it for now!!  Hope everyone is knee deep in holiday fun :)
