Random catch up...

So, let me explain.
Micah got a shaving kit for Christmas. He now looks forward to sahving every morning. He usually strokes his chin prior to bath time and exclaims "Gash! I guess I have to sahve AGAIN!" very funny. Funnier when the little sister mimics and has to shave too.
Lauren the other day came to find me saying, "look mommy, I try it on!" This is what I found, luckily my camera was nearby. Although inappropriate, it is pretty funny.
Our kids like sausage.. lots. They will eat it any chance they get. This particular morning Lauren insisted on wearing my shirt. Lucky mommy...Notice the sleeve that was dragged through a plate of ketchup. Yum!
Lauren posing under the covers after a bath. It's COLD in the mornings here!

Christmas came early!

To avoid the drama of hauling all their presents, Grandma and Papa Wilson requested we celebrate early... No one complained! Look at those happy faces! These two are ready for Christmas!

Christmas preparations...

Well, most of these pictures are older but just a quick catch up... We did get a tree. You can see a picture of the return home. There's a picture of us celebrating St. Nick's Day. The kids don't get it but any excuse for small presents and treats is cause for major excitement in our house. A picture of Micah and Lauren in their Roudolph masks they made a preschool and a picture of the kids with the tree. Sorry I'm WAY behind on posting but at least we're getting up to date!

Day tripping...

So, whatever it is, we can't seem to abandon the need to go somewhere and do something... This time we checked out a Norwegian gouda cheese factory and apple farm (now no-operating). We got to feed some fun goats, sample apple and cheese fare and generally have a nice time. We also got to fill with gas for really cheap! That's something to get excited about!

Sunday Fun

Yes, we think that Sunday is one of the best days of the week... Why? Well, Micah loves Sunbeams. His teachers are great and he has lots of friends in Primary. Lauren LOVES the Nursery. She loves her teachers, the songs and the snacks... not bad for a pretty clingy 2 yr old... Scott and I get to go to Sunday School together, without any kids... that might even qualify as a DATE.... Then when we get home, Mom and kids get a nap and Dad does fun stuff ALL ALONE... See how this works out to be a great day for everyone?
The best is when we take our bikes to the park. Micah has recently learned to ride his two wheeler and we love to go all over town. Last SUdnay we took a particularly big trip to a large park newar our house. It's probably two miles away and Micah rode his own bike the whole way there and back.... That's a lot of riding for a pretty small kid. This particular park is full of water and ducks. We took a large bag of old bread and had the time of our lives. Fun can be really cheap....
