Naughty or Nice?

So, long story still kinada long-we are all at Costco and Lo sees that the movie “Up” is out and start a huge tantrum in the middle of Costco because he wants it and we will not get it for him (someone has already bought it for them for Christmas). Huge enough fit that I take him straight to the car.


Then, while getting gas Matt cleans off the windshield. The boys think that their windows are dirty enough for a cleaning too and want him to wash their windows. Well-he’s outside & can’t hear them. For D-no big deal, he brushes it off. For Lo-back to fittown. Enough that he is told when we get home he has to go to bed. He is obviously too tired to act like a big boy.

I am in D’s room putting him to bed; Matt is trying to calm Lo down. He is in full blown throwing himself around & screaming fit mode. “We will put Up on your Christmas list and maybe santa will bring it for you”. It actually got kinda quiet as Matt adds “and what do you have to be to get gifts from santa-on the nice list, right? Are you being nice or naughty right now?” Silence. As Matt is walking out of the room “well, Santa can’t bring me a clean window for Christmas”.

I hold in my giggles as long as I can, then they burst out. Matt hears and he starts laughing too. Even D jumps in with a couple. Well, this infuriates Lo again and back to the naughty list he goes!

More from the road

 So, another little tidbit from our trip to Montana last month... Driving along trying to keep the boys entertained someone came up with a rhyme game (you know "tire" "fire" etc) After several minutes of everyone but D participating, he must have felt a little left out.  All of a sudden "PIGGY PIGGY" comes out of his mouth.  It was hysterical!  He was soo proud of himself :)

Montana 09

What you cannot hear is me telling that wolf to not look at my kids like they are her next meal!

See that tiny little slit of face that Lo is showing?  THAT is what he screamed and screamed about being cold.  Poor guy.

D watching "cars" and Lo watching his eyelids.

sooo....

I will try very hard to post some pictures tonight of our trip to Montana...a little late, but still cute!!

And, if you look to the right, you will see that I have started another blog...this one will be about-ME and all the crap crafty stuff that I make.  It's still in the works, so don't expect too much!!

Halloween!

Captain Rex & Officer D

Ahh, Halloween.  What a fun night!  D fell at almost every house-but did not care!  He was so excited!!  Every few feet (it seemed) he would look over at Dad and I and say "I'm trick or treating!!" just grinning ear to ear!  Lo did great-was so patient and would help little bro if dad and I were not right there.  Tons of fun & memories :)
