Just a few funny things...

I have to write these things down so I remember them in the future....

Me: "Ryan, you need to get your shoes on"

Ryan...not getting shoes on

Me (about 2 minutes later): "Ryan, we are leaving, why don't you have your shoes on?"

Ryan: "It's a long story...ok I'll get them on"

Really? In the two minutes that went by there was a "long story"that went on keeping him from getting his shoes on?

There has been a stray dog that wanders into our yard every so often. The boys are dying to have a dog, but their mean mom does not want one (nope, don't love dogs at all). The boys named it Coco. Today it was back in the yard and they came running to show me it.

Caleb (5): "Mom, can we pleeeeeaaassseee keep it??"

Me: "No, sorry"

Caleb: "Pleeeeaaaase? I'll take care of it's poo"

Any kid who says they will take care of  poo cannot be trusted.

Christmas Festivities

We had a couple Christmas dinners this year. One at my mom's new house (just a 1/2 mile away), and one at Aunt Sara's (Scott's sister). The kids got way too many presents and are spoiled rotten...but we can blame the grandparents :)

Grandpa Doug (my mom's husband) and Scott

The Briner side cousins opening Granny and Doug's presents

Scott and his dad

Festivities at Sara's house for the Hacking side. Camera war with Scott's dad :)

The awesome host herself (Sara). The tables were set so beautifully with hand crafted birds and other things (that's how crafty I am...I just call them "things")

Movie night with the kids. We had a lot of fun over the Christmas break watching movies and staying up late. I even let the kids stay up past 9 one night :) Ha Ha.
