Big boy toys

Someone is having way too much fun moving rocks. Thanks to a friend for this loaner, and for saving Jason's back. 

Lily had to write a poem for class, about a vivid experience. She wrote about the day she met her BFF. 

Boys vs Girls Gingerbread House Off.

Towards the end, Xander tries to switch teams. Lily says no, go back to your busted house. 

Xander says, yeah there is no saving my house. They look over at Jericho, covered in frosting. 

He smiles and waves. LMAO!!

Ugly sweaters.

Picture at school today...such big kids, they are like almost ready to move out LOL.

Ugly sweater cookies today...good times.

 

Ever After.

No more broken windows...hope it stays that way. 

Farm life, 4 kids and these dogs would never mix with carpet. I hate to be reminded that I have missed nail trims by the dang nail clicking all over the house though. Nail trim day LOL. Ahhh the silence. Thank you Dremel.

She loves this book, and says she is going to read me the WHOLE thing right now. Send snacks. 

Still listening to Lily an hour later LOL.

Busy again.

Window work today for Hayden's new room. 

Window in, he is still working on the two the boys broke. Me and Bug, we did our nails LOL.

Chilling and watching 7th Heaven, while Lily went through her clothes and prepared a big donation box.

Never fails.

When you get grounded from your electronics for fighting, but want to earn them back LOL. 

Finally get up the confidence and courage to take your final. Of course, why wouldn’t the internet and computer have issues. Tomorrow is your deadline. Of course, why wouldn’t the site needed be down for maintenance tomorrow. Thankfully they gave me a free 3 month extension. I will not take that long, I will not take that long, I will not take that long. Ugh.

The kids really wanted Denny’s caramel banana cream pancakes for dinner, but our local one was closed. So we tried to make our own...not too shabby.

Almost there...

Final study days, hope to take the proctor very soon. The dogs are tired of all this boring learning. Waffles flung drool all over my notes LOL. Wish me luck! I’m going to need it.

Next step for the pool arrived...now who is going to wheelbarrow it all into the hole LOL.

 

Sweet Child.

This girls heart is too big and kind, I hope the world doesn’t break it. Xander found this letter that Lily wrote to Santa, it was in the trash...hopefully it was just a rough draft. We have never watched or talked about the Ramsey case with the kids, I’m not even sure where she heard about it.

Lily funny of the day....

Hey Dad has there been a woman President? 

No 

Well if Broadway doesn’t work out, I’ll look into that.

Your future Broadway star/President drawing on her sleeping brother LOL.

A&P is so much information, so much...it will never all stay in my head.

 

Welcome December!

Percy is back. He brought the kids chocolate, and answered their questions. Since he is an elf, he writes teeny tiny. 

Apparently there is a tongue twister in this book that made her tongue “seasick” LOL.
