Why, hello there.

Hello December. Hello cute little foamy snowmen. Hello to my big surprise.


I really can not believe December is here already. How is Jericho 11 months old already? Better get busy on our Christmas and birthday shopping lists. Always the last minute shoppers.


Today the kids and I did a really fun craft involving shaving gel and glue. They turned out so cool!

We also made a handprint wreath. The trio were cooperative with the handpainting and the wreath turned out pretty good. They each did 4 prints on the wreath. 

The snowmen all done with hats, noses, arms even a little scarf. They actually dry puffy like that!

Jericho got to add his own touch to the wreath...he did finger print red berries :)

And now for the big surprise! We got a new ride!!! Well new to us anyway. We traded in the 07 Odyssey on this 07 Escalade ESV. It rocks, and it had 10K less miles on it than the van did...and the van had low miles! They gave us a really good price on the van and came down $3,000 on what they wanted for the SUV. Jason drove a hard bargin, even played the triplet + a new baby card LOL. I haven't been able to drive it yet...Jason is being stingy :) but I love it. Not great pics...will try again tomorrow.

It snowed at our house today!

Yay for some snow!!! We didn't go out and play in it but it did give us a nudge to do a Snowman craft after dinner. The trio did really well, we used beans and cotton balls and paint, they had so much fun. Too bad they still are not happy campers when it comes time to put things away...when will the melt downs when something fun is over end?!?!

They did a little coloring while we were getting the craft supplies ready. You can see while Xander didn't have an issue, we were not able to talk the girls out of their new PJ's today :)

Painting the snowman noses.

On to painting some bells...they didn't want to use silver Hahaha.

On to the glue...the bean buttons. This was the kids first time using glue, took a min to teach them you don't paint in it you just leave the bits there to dry.

Making the bean hats.

The kiddos doing some of the cotton ball work.

The finished products drying.

Everyone wanted to sit on Daddy at once :)

I hit 38 weeks pregnant today...full term and baby boy can feel free to show up at anytime now! PLEASE Hahaha! I am feeling at the end of my rope these days, I am tired but having such a hard time sleeping. My clothes are just about at the end of their rope too, you know you are coming to the end when even your maternity shirts don't quite keep the whole belly covered LOL.

Me at 4 weeks vs 38 weeks...I think I see where the extra 36lbs have gone :)
