Yummy lunch

While the 3 of us were making macaroni and cheese for lunch yesterday, Caden said, "I want to pour the milk in through the urinal!" I said, you mean the funnel? He said, "Yes, I want to use the urinal to pour the milk in!"
Do these 2 very different things look similar? Its a bit concerning!

Preschool Activity?

This past weekend, I was away for several days with some girlfriends. I left this gingerbread house kit as a possible 'Daddy and kids' activity. Aren't you impressed with the precise, even, and creative way my 5 and 3 year old did this house?
After I mildly accused Shann of taking over this activity with adult perfectionism, he did say that the kids put all of the candy on. I do have some doubts that they had permission to place the candy wherever their little hearts desired. :) However, the outcome is beautiful.

Girl time

As a result of Caden having a couple of days with Grammy and Poppy at the farm show this week, Alyssa and I had ourselves some girl time. Below are the results of one of the high points. Odd how mine were more expensive, when clearly hers were more work! Especially after several toes had to be repaired due to her excitement. :)

Cancelled Christmas

A week or so ago, after all the Christmas decorations were taken down, and all the festivities were over, Shann and I were in the kitchen together. Caden came in and said sourly to Shann, "Why are you hugging mom if Christmas was cancelled?"

I think he felt things looked bleak at the end of all the fun of the season, and how could we still be happy? :)

Build-a-Bear

Grammy and Poppy (Shann's parents) took Caden and Alyssa to build-a-bear for their Christmas gifts. You can see they like the idea! Many choices!
Caden picked Klippety Klop, a clydesdale.
Getting them stuffed...Alyssa is handing the girl a heart, and a voice box to put inside.
Alyssa picked a pink bear that she named Pinky Pie.
Brushing them is fun!
Thank you, Grammy and Poppy! Klippety and Pinky Pie now need to accompany us many places!
