Buzz sez:

(Bath time)  "If we ever have to write an expository paragraph about our favorite bath toy, I'm gonna write about this duck." 
I'm pretty sure that wasn't on the curriculum back in my days in 2nd grade.

Gong Hay Fat Choy!!



Inside the take out boxes were hard boiled eggs, banana nut muffins in red wrappers and clementines. In the white cups is the closest thing to congee in my pantry- cream of wheat, of course... 


The crepe giftie-bombs filled with good fortune:

He sees a naked mannequin in a store window.
"Haaaaaaah! Mommy? Here! Milk an' buns out!"

My Sugarplums


Newt sez:

His New Year Revolution is to build a Dumbozer (bulldozer, if he hadn't been so sleepy).

Interesting point

2:30 AM
Geo: "Mama? Mik? Pleee!"
Me: "No, Geo... That's all done... No more milk."
Geo: "Eehhh... WRY?! Mik! Pleeee!"
Me: "Well, for a start, it's two in the morning and we're having an argument about it. That means you're too big."

I've had to pry the official cowboy gear off of Newt after 5 days running. But, how dern cute?

Geo sez:

I accidentally squished Geo's foot when I leaned past him into the car. 
"Ow! Wat da hetch?"

Thievery

Idea blatantly stolen from a friend's gift last year. I present the Melted Snowman Ornament.

Adaptation

I finally broke and modified our guy. How are we supposed to put them in all these situations without any structure? Kris now has a retrofitted metal endoskeleton.

Elf Antics

The boys & I cut out these pieces but "ran out of time" yesterday evening... Someone finished the job!

The box is always the winner anyway, amiright? So, why not just get 'em a box? Also, Free!

"We're telling the truth. The truthful truth. I didn't see me do it and I didn't see Buzz do it."

Happy Day to Meee!

Guess which doctor's office is getting these suckers:
These are to bid the staff farewell for an entire year. For the first time in the better part of a decade, I have no appointments on the books.

Transylvanian Toast (homemade raspberry syrup) to send off October with the grossest, bloodiest breakfast possible !
