School Photos

Why can we never get them to smile like this when we take their photos?

Findley Loves Spaghetti Night

Believe it or not, most of the spaghetti eventually ended up in her belly. Unfortunately, most of it touched her face before it got there.

A Visit with Santa

Walker and Findley had the opportunity to sit on Santa's lap last weekend. Somewhat surprisingly, they both freaked out and wanted to have nothing to do with him. Even though Walker has been talking constantly about Santa Claus over the past couple of weeks, he was absolutely not interested in going anywhere near the big guy.

Marmee wasn't scared of Santa, though. She sat in his lap and told him what she wanted for Christmas. She remarked that she felt like she had known Santa for a long time....

We were able to get a photo of all of us by making sure the kids couldn't see Santa.

Playing Football

When Walker plays football outside, he likes to pull down his hat like it's a facemask. The problem is that he can't see, so he runs around like a chicken with its head cut off. Here he is showing Pawpaw his football moves.

Swinging with Pawpaw

Findley loves swinging with Pawpaw!

Spencer: "Walker, what are you eating?"
Walker: "Nothing."
Spencer: "Looks like something to me.  Is it a booger?"
Walker: "No, itsnot."
Spencer: "Wait, did you say It's not, or It's snot?"
Walker: "I said itsnot."  (Walker doubles over in laughter.)

Photos with Cousins

At Thanksgiving, we tried to get a good photo of all four cousins. We failed to get any photos of all four of them smiling or looking at the camera, but it was fun to try, and some of the resulting photos are still great.

Funny Kid

Leann: "Walker, please don't eat your boogers. That's really yucky."
Walker: "Mama, it's not a booger. It's a piece of egg."
Leann: "Walker, you haven't had eggs in three days."
Walker: "Oh."

Cooler Weather!

It's finally gotten a little cooler outside, and the kids love getting bundled up and running around in the backyard. Here are a couple of photos from this past weekend.
