Wade has gotten the boys into old school games. They now request pac-man, mario kart, or sonic before bedtime.
Teague
Don’t all good camp outs end with Ducktales, granola bars, and apples?
Every now and then you just need a campout in the basement.
Monkey see. Monkey do.
Alex wanted a whole apple because I was taking care of Kaitlyn and didn’t have time to slice it for him. Suddenly Teague wanted a whole apple too. To their credit, they both ate the entire apples.
“I’ll protect her.”
“Don’t worry Mom. The bathroom will be fixed in a minute.”
Teague.
Wade declared this one of his favorite Christmas gifts.
It should come as no surprise that Teague is using the customizable Monster Truck kit to paint his red truck blue.
This boy.
These guys set up their own grocery with some of their new Christmas items.
Nevermind that it is 10 degrees outside. The boys love their new jeep and have made numerous trips out in the cold to ride it!
Brothers.
Can’t you just see how hard it is for him to wait?
Teague in “silver car.”
Another road trip. Another nap.
Making chicken noodle soup for Granny.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a little pouting.
(He wanted to help Wade and Alex label the tops of my spice jars.)
Pizza for lunch!
These Little Ceasar Pizza Kits (school fundraiser) are amazing and I would have ordered a freezer full if I had known.
Making bouncy balls.
(And only this three year old would have the patience to stand in the same spot for 10 minutes waiting till the timer beeped.)
Showing Granny Christmas songs on Mom’s phone.
Brothers.
It’s a glow-accessory kind of night.
Sibling love.
These boys couldn’t wait till after Kaitlyn’s morning nap to get out in the snow. When I came downstairs I found them playing out on the walkway – with no shoes!
Another day. Another eye appointment.
Teague had his Christmas program at school today. He even knew most of the words to the songs.
Snuggles with Daddy.
We kind of love sitting in front of our tree.
Wade got his Christmas present early. The boys were as excited about the hedge hog as Wade.
The gumdrop (or Dot in our case) tree makes an appearance.
Even mid-tantrum he is the cutest, santa-hat wearing boy I know.
These boys love their daddy.
We skipped nap for a playdate today. I looked over as I was cooking dinner and realized Teague had fallen asleep sitting up.
Unwrapping the tree!
After visiting two Christmas tree farms the only thing we got were naps for all three kids during the drive. It turns out one place had no trees over 3 feet tall and the other only accepted cash, which we didn’t have on us.
Three little monkeys sitting in a row.
(Kaitlyn loved her new seat and sat contentedly the entire time the boys ate breakfast.)
This little guy has had zero wants on his Christmas list except for the occasional generic “car.”
How can I say no to a request for “Holly Jolly” song?
Teague definitely gets more laughs from Kaitlyn than anyone else (and got her first giggle too). Today he would put his head on her tummy and she would laugh and laugh while grabbing his hair.
“I’ll entertain Kaitlyn”
Teague normally waits till Alex gets home to have his afternoon snack. He does want first choice so he hides in the cabinet the minute I see the bus.
The new favorite way to nap in the car.
Morning muffin making.
This one finds the silver car the minute he walks in B’s door.
Baby mover.
Crafts with Granny make even a tough recovery from surgery better.
Teague is NOT a fan of the antibiotic drops for his eyes.
Teague had a really long wait today before going back to surgery. He found all kinds of things to use for entertainment.
Cousins saying goodbye.
