I have noticed a disturbing trend in Alex’s group pictures lately. He is either sticking out his tongue (see above) or picking his nose.
(These are rarely pictures when I am behind the camera so I don’t realize it until I am on the computer editing the pictures.)
Alex
I have said it before. I will say it again. The meReader is a must have for road trips.
This car wash was actually one of Teague’s gifts, but Alex loves it. He has already asked if tomorrow he could take a bath and Teague could take a shower.
Two boys in the tub.
Teague and I picked Alex up early from MDO to play in the first snowfall of the season!
Let there be no doubt we have little boys living in our house. Trucks, trains, cars, diggers…
Ready for church.
We are using basket presents to countdown to Gram’s house – we started the countdown today!
Alex started out giving Wade a backrub, but it quickly deteriorated into a pileup.
Pizza – it’s for dinner.
Sharing cookie dough.
Alex is convinced serious work requires a writing utensil behind the ear.
Don’t tell the boys, but they are going to bed 30 minutes early tonight.
Wade is out of town and Mom needs a little break.
Wade is out of town so we decided to have a movie night.
At my feet while cooking dinner.
One of Alex’s favorite games to play with Wade is hide-n-seek. He understands counting, but doesn’t understand being quiet while he’s hiding. He also likes to yell “ready” in repose to “ready or not here I come”. This was his favorite hiding spot last night. Very tricky…
Alex put on my boots and then wanted to stand on his head. Silly boy.
Alex’s current sleeping arrangement.
Not only did Alex get to go to another Lego build, he got to have dinner out with Daddy.
Finger painting – in the shower – again.
Thanks for the shirts Adam and Lyz!
Let the season of Christmas pajamas officially begin.
Tosa Tree Lighting with Abram.
In front of the Christmas tree is the perfect place to read a new Christmas book.
Alex’s new favorite item – Disney meReader.
(Perfect for the car. He tells the reader what book and what page and it reads it to him. Each reader comes with 8 books.)
Today we attempted to take a “real picture” of all three cousins. This was my favorite (and most realistic).
Gram is the best book reader.
Cousin breakfast.
Alex is showing Harper how to play “games”.
No trip to B’s is complete without a visit to the ponies.
Thanksgiving morning watching the Macy’s Parade.
Alex is a pro at road trips and can’t wait to see Gram.
Silly hats and Christmas trees.
Alex loves to “help”.
From the minute we brought the tree in, Alex has been begging to put on the star. We decided to let him – and we’ll do the lights and ornaments tomorrow.
Taking a rest after cutting down our Christmas tree.
Pout face.
Two turkeys hanging out on the stairs.
Evidently Alex learned how to snap his jeans at school. Why didn’t it occur to me to teach him that?
I told Alex I needed to make a grocery list before we left the house. He quickly made his own list. (It says 3 apples in case you have trouble reading it.)
Book reading.
Alex found this coupon door hanger in our front yard. After spending 20 minutes talking to our neighbor about it, he spent an additional 15 discussing all the ads with Wade.
Brothers – dressed and ready for Friendsgiving.
Brothers slowly waking up after nap.
By request…
Brothers sharing a laugh.
Teague loves fruit pouches and I think they make a great snack. He can also reach them and it is a way for him to tell me he’s hungry.
Alex has not wanted anything to do with them until Teague started loving them. Silly boys. Now they both love to grab them from the pantry.
Creating a rain-maker for music class.
Daddy and Alex working on a “project”.
(Wade is testing out an idea for the youth at church – trebuchet).
Family trip to the dog park.
