FIFTY

We got the kids some snow boots to make morning bike rides more tolerable. They are now V's favorite accessory. Clearly they go with everything.

2018 week fifty

One day this little buddy was so sleepy, he sat on the couch to wait for his lunch and I found him like this five minutes later. 

I made sugar cookies with buddy. Some days he's just the sweetest little thing that we get to fit in as many Christmas memories as we can to float us through the in between days when he's rather more of a goblin than an angel.

Cat frenemies. 

I made a yule log for a Christmas party. V has been learning about Christmas traditions around the world. They learned about roulade and V was so excited that I made one. She mistakenly (though rather appropriately) thinks it's called a "roll-log" cake. I will never correct her. 

I altered a thrift store painting for a white elephant gift. I'm especially proud of the crying kids faces. Ha. 

One of my favorite parts of Christmas time in Lewisville. The Fire Department Santa runs through the town. The kids were so excited. Theo thought this was "it" and Santa was bringing his presents right there on the fire truck. He wasn't that disappointed though when Santa threw out candy instead.

T- "Are you a football lady too? Oh no! Here's my football sign!"
V- "Look at the football sign. It says we need to go to the football."
T- "I have 28 football players and football tractors."
My children have absolutely no idea what football is. 

"It's too bad we didn't see any more grandmas because they like to tell us how cute we are." Upon leaving Great Grandma Hatch's place.

"I like my giraffey when she's cold. The trick is to leave her alone for a long time and then she's cold and that's the way I like my giraffes."

V- "Are giraffes made of meat?"
Me- "Yes."
V- "Ooh yum! I want to eat a giraffe some day. Will you cook giraffe meat for me?"
Me- "Most likely that will never happen."

"We are duck wings." (ducklings)

"Can we go there? Is that place good quality?"

After he pestered the cat until she scratched him. "Stupid cat! I want to throw her in the sewer drain so the rats can eat her!"
