Everyday Life Week 51

December 25 - December 31

Apparently I messed up on my "weeks" so I'm posting the last Everyday Life post for 2016. 

Christmas morning. Miles and Jackson were up and we finally woke Carter up to see what all Santa brought.

Here they are! So ready to open their gifts and I made them wait for a picture.

I got a game from Santa! 

And Michael got a remote control helicopter. 

On to Boom and Pop's to open presents and eat lunch! 

They were super excited about their go cart. 

Jackson was cautious when he first started driving it.

Carter jumped right in and drove like a champ! Haha! We thought he would be a crazy driver but he shocked us.

And Miles was a very good driver as well. All three were smiling ear to ear while driving around. 

And then it was back to Scrappy's house to celebrate with Turner! 

By the next day we were all like this. Worn out! 

Then the Lego's were opened. Oh my word. The amount of Lego's we have is unreal. 

Carter bumped his head and he wore the ice pack like a hat. It was the funniest thing.

We were not planning on taking all of the Christmas decorations down but we did! The weather was perfect for playing outside so I got busy inside. And now the house looks weird!

I took my mom to the eye doctor and it is safe to say the boys had fun at Boom and Pop's house. 

Miles was excited I let him eat pizza for breakfast! 

I did it! I met my goal I set on Good Reads this year. I can't believe I did it. 

The wind was freezing but these boys had to play outside for a while. I was bundled up drinking hot tea!

It's New Year's Eve and it's my BIRTHDAY! And yes, I'm 40! 😎

Carter eats at random times...and while he is putting together a Lego.

Miles was working on his "surprised" face. 

Happy Birthday to ME! My dining room is finally getting painted after 1 1/2 years of asking. Hahah!

Carter helped me bake cup cakes for my big day!

While Michael primed away! 

Everyday Life Week 50

December 18 - December 23

It's Christmas Break!!

Saturday morning puzzles are always fun!

And of course a couple of selfies! 

Sunday porch picture. 

Michael and I took the boys shopping for each others gifts. It was a blast! We were all tired when we finally got home.  

I didn't get any pictures other than these at the bookstore. The boys had fun and bought each other some neat toys.

For real. 

Sunday it was nice - short sleeve weather and then Monday it was in the 30s. 

The reindeer bait was fun to make. 

This is how I feel too Miles!! I was excited for the boys to run around and play outside. It was cold but they HAD to get out of the house. 

This boy LOVES card games. We played several rounds of Go Fish.

Time to make more cookies!

And the boys are great helpers.

So true.

Thank goodness for some warmer weather. The boys had a blast riding bikes.

This is how Jackson acted at my aunts house. They liked sliding on the floor to see who could slide the longest. 

Such goofballs!

Carter woke up first on Christmas Eve and stayed in our room for a while.

Little Rodney brought a table cloth to color on. It had word searches, tic tac toe, and several other fun things. 

Christmas Eve at my moms. They were the only kids there.

And at our house. Note the clock - it is way past their bed time!! 

We had to put out the reindeer food and...

Santa's milk and cookies. 

Merry Christmas!!

Everyday Life Week 49

December 10 - December 16

M and C spent the night with Boom and Pop so we took Jackson out to eat. 

We had to run by the mall to pick out a gift for a birthday party. Jackson picked out exactly what HE wanted. 

Sunday porch picture. 

J reminds me of a baby giraffe on skates. He had a blast!

I switched out the sight words for math problems. 

The boys loved them.

On rainy days we play the iPad. 

It was PJ day at school! 

Jackson had to dress up as Daniel Morgan for a little play at school. Boom did a great job on the costume! 

And Miles and Carter were tickled they were able to go!

Miles and Carter had their Christmas program at school and it was adorable! 

This is probably the first year both boys sang!

And we could hear Carter above everyone else! It made my Christmas! 

After their program we took M and C to the play zone for a while. We were the only ones there and the boys had a blast. 

Jackson's teacher sent home little jars of hot chocolate jars. We had to make J's as soon as we got home. It smelled yummy!

It was a wild Friday night around our house. Michael played a board game with J while I watched the other two play the Wii. 

We are so excited that it's ....
