wow time flys....

I cannot believe it is already the middle of December.... i keep thinking we are still in November, guess i need to get with it...

Here is a recap of our month so far, i know nana barb is probably dying for some pics, so these are for you.....


nana barb sent max his b-day present, a grip of great clothes, books, and jammies. Also like a good grandma sent ollie a little something.... here are the boys in there new jammies reading there new books.

*side note, this photo was not set up... ollie sat down to read his thomas book and max climbed up and slid in next to him, ollie made sure max had some blankie, which only happens on very rare occasions... tooo cute....





we spent the first week of the month watching gavin and chloe, Annie and Jeff were lucky enough to be in Hawaii. (jeff for work, and annie got to go along since it was during their 14th wedding anniversary). Gavin and Chloe were great, having an instant four kids was very busy. I am used to being fun aunt katie.... not the boss, but we did okay... On tuesday after school I made the kids run some errands with me, the place I had to go was right by this little restaurant called "fire on the mountain", they serve hot wings... and deep fried twinkies, I was telling Gavin about this and he thought deep fried twinkies sounded pretty cool... so at 4:30 we stopped in for some hot wings and deep fried twinkies.... needless to say dinner was small and late that night....



It is very different cooking in someone else's kitchen, I make a bomb baked ziti... not so much in Annie's kitchen... she has these really cool silicon baking dishes, that don't work the same as glass. My ziti came out crispy cooked on the edges, and all the veggies and cheese were'nt cooked in the middle. The next night we had a baked potato mishap... we ended up on an ice cream run later than night... oh well...
Here is Ollie sporting Annies Uggs...


Another thing about school aged kids is the HAVE to get up in the morning. Me and my boys get up whenever, usually we are up by 8:00am... to get gav and coco up and off to school I needed to be up by 7... I did great the first two days, and the last two... well not so great, the alarm would go off, which I wasn't used to it, it would freak me out, I would shut if off and roll over and go back to bed... than it would be a mad dash to get kids dressed, breakfast made, lunches made and everyone out the door.... crazy...



the one thing that saved my life was this sweet little number.... ummmmm americano's every morning... santa i need one of these...

all in all it was a great week, a little stressful, but fun... even chewie survived...
