Let the festivities begin!

Look at this warrior. Aunt Barb and Uncle Rick sent this for her bday and she sleeps in it a few times a week until she grows into it. She also got her highlights, she LOVES the search and finds!!!

This is the ramp Everett climbs to go down the slide at gymnastics. 

It's cool to be in there to sneak pics of this girl too!

No bake!

We need to get Everett out of this crib. It's pure selfishness, I really don't think he is going to stay in a bed he can get out of. Brandi and Nick have this kid air mattress and it has great bumpers and if we can get him to sleep in this then we can travel with it and hopefully he'll sleep elsewhere too! I can't bring myself to trying it out yet, I just love sleep too much for him and us, but I need to over this break!

Why can't you stay little forever?!

There are little things each day that make me think and remember. I remember Dode once put butter under my jelly on toast when I was at her house and I was thinking I wouldn't like it, and I LOVED it. Every time I treat myself to toast with butter and jelly, I think of her and how weird it is my mom didn't because I feel like they did everything the same. 

Pajama day!

My co-worker and friend Diane 

 I surprised the kids with some gifts, they were so excited!

Polar Express day, it was perfectly cold! 

You know you're getting old when your previous student is pregnant!!!

Kensliegh and Clara with Ms. Doe!

Already being spoiled, it's not Christmas. The best ELMO book ever!!!

These cuties!

Jane sent this blanket for the kids, it's brilliant, just like the other ones she's made them. I decided it would be best to have it to use, we have had some cold weather and it's nice to bundle. When we watch Christmas movies she HAS to have it, it's so well made! 

These two, she is such a daddy's girl! 

IKEA

I can't with this. I look in the back seat on the way to IKEA and see this. THankfully I got a picture before they noticed and refused. They held hands for over 20 mintues. 

He caught me with the selfie and didn't want to hold hands anymore. 

More work matching pj's
