Half an hour with Jack


Yes, I know this is all backwards, and we always eat before we bathe...but last night, things, well, they just went out of order. Bath...then little snack, story, bed.

The boy loves to eat.

And a sweet little video!

Full Weekend!


First and foremost, My heart goes out to the families, teachers and students affected in the Connecticut tragedy. I am absolutely heartbroken and hugged my boys extra tight...

We started off this weekend with our office party Friday evening, to honor our 80+ Caregivers,our staff members and all of their family members and children! In a last minute decision, we decided to have our 3 little cuties attend as well...

We spent Saturday braving the Christmas shopping crowds, by venturing into Toys R Us, "The Shoe Place Store" to buy new sneakers and ended up at Chuck E. Cheese's, only to realize that there were 50 million birthday parties going on...so we backed out of our parking spot as quickly as we had pulled in. (No hard feelings to this Momma, as I feel those places places are germ ridden~)

On Sunday, we ventured out to Bass Pro to meet Santa!! Our sweet boys, before and after Santa, and enjoying Ice Cream in December:

Same Santa...3 years later...Same reaction :) Jack 18 months 2012/ Brody and Wade 16 months 2009

After slight hesitation, Brody hopped right up on Santa's lap and told him all about the toys he is wishing for...all the while, sweet Wade decided to hang back and take it all in from a far. There was no convincing him to even get near him!!
Photobucket

All 3 Harrell boys sure do enjoy ANY playground we come across...my sweet boys are growing so fast!

How funny is this picture? Brody is trying to kiss Jack, who is pushing him away and Wade, is completely oblivious to everything going on...

Gangnam Stlye


Totally inappropriate, we know...but our children LOVE the PSY song Gangnam Style
, so much in fact, that they beg to hear it every single night. Yes, beg. It is hilarious...and Todd and Grammie are going to kill me for these pics...

Todd...please do not make me take these down. Just speakin' the truth, like Wade says... :)

Side note: Jack's teacher emailed me this morning, telling me that Todd mentioned to her that Jack loved Gangnam Style...no idea why in the world he would even think to mention that...but okay...so Mrs. Katy decided to play it for a little bit and Jack immediately stopped in his tracks and looked at her...and started singing "Whoop Whoop!"...I was dying laughing. Still am. I love my children!!

Thank you for keeping me entertained the entire time I stuffed our Christmas cards. There is never a dull moment when you are around JackJack!

Cookies and lights!


Mommy and the big boys threw our jammies into an overnight bag and headed over to Nana and Gator's to decorate Christmas cookies, "dine" out at Ci-Ci's pizza (boys choice) and to enjoy the luminaries at Northgate! December is in full swing and we are celebrating Christmas every second we can!

Thank you Nana for baking all of the cookies and having everything ready for us, to just dig in and decorate! We didn't set any rules or guidelines and let the boys' creative juices flow. The really, really, really loved the icing and sprinkles!

Such concentration and double fisted sprinkling!

I love seeing the Christmas magic through their sweet eyes...
