We, w.e., wii Party


WE (the us and the Carvajal's)









Had W.E. (white elephants)

Thankfully, no one wanted to trade me for my silk arrangement, so I get to keep it.














They watched a Christmas flick and then started Just Dance 2 on the Wii.  When we said it was time to go they invited us to take a turn, clever children.  Knowing we couldn't stop after just one song. 

Party like it's 2009!

Louis Settles In


It took the kids a little longer to find Louis this morning.  He was downstairs for the first time.  Watching the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, eating a sugar cookie and sipping eggnog.

Louis Uno, but not Solo

Louis Strikes Again...

Now it's Personal

Equivalent to a horse head in your bed?  This time he got Noah.  Must've been naughty.

Clothes strewn from the drawers...






The ultimate dis- sneakers hanging






Diaper cannonball





Cups thrown about.







I get my own morning surprise before leaving for the holidays! 

How lucky am I?!

P.S. Liv's b-day is in June.  Her class was celebrating her 1/2 birthday, lest you be confused.

Louis Takes Time Out

Louis Day 5

He was dirty from his lack of water discipline during the chocolate making the evening before, so Louis bathed...

Elf on a Shelf...Louis Day 3

Thirsty?


He's messier than Mae.

Louis Day 2

Tonite Louis decided he wanted some new digs.  He got a gift box and created it. 


Maters

I passed the bread for the sacrament last Sunday to Mae.  She held her hand up like a traffic cop and shook her head.  "Nah.  I'm good."

I snuck Jason's birthday present into her room and hid it behind the coats.  "Mae, I'm hiding Daddy's birthday present here.  It's a secret."
Five minutes later, "Daddy, you got a present?"
"SHHH!  Mae, it's a secret."
whispering, "It's in my room."

She always pops up singing, "Divaaaa Las Megas!  DEEEEVA Las Megas!" *lisp.  Don't forget the lithp*

Now she loves coming up with ways to say our names.  "Mama, you name Brandy?"
"Yup Mae."
"You name not Mama, you Brandy?"
"What do YOU call me?"
"You name Brandy but I call you Mama and Daddy name's Jason."

After my Grandma's funeral Noah, Mae, and I were driving home.  She had a glow-in-the-dark necklace and she chewed a hole in it.  She started hacking behind me so I turned around just in time to see her puke up her funeral potatoes on her new dress.  She sobbed big crocodile tears. 

Couldn't get Google for poison control in Payson and so we pushed on.  She'd finally calmed down and I turned to tell her we could clean her up as soon as we got home.  There she was rubbing glow gunk into her eye.
"I wanna new eye!  I wanna new eye!  Oh my hebbens!  Good gracious!  I wanna new eye!"
I pulled over at a gas station.  What do I do?  Take in a naked baby or one with puke all over her.  I chose naked and wrapped in a jacket.  And Noah?  He had to hang by himself (nice), while I shoved (literally), Mae's head under the faucet to rinse out her eye. 
"Oh my goodness!  I wanna die!  Oh good hebbens!"  The rinse was unsucessful. 

Finally got some service and called poison control with Mae still expressing herself in the back seat.  She'd just settled down when she rubbed her other eye.  Still more exclamations. 

About the edge of Springville she cried herself to sleep but woke for a moment to say, "Tell the people on the phone I o.k.  I all better."

As I write she's playing with her siblings something that has to do with, "I break you into jail."

Louis

Meet Louis, the mischevious Elf on a Shelf.  He's naughty at night.  Liv said, of all things, she went to sleep on one side of the bed (and Mae), and woke up on the other!  Silly elf.  To have something like that happen in the middle of the night, especially to Liv is quite shocking

We also found this when we woke.


Liv and Isaac are all over this.  Mae is creeped out by him.  She wouldn't go shut the front door because he was still sitting there with his marker.  Georgia keeps threatening to touch him because his book says he'll lose his magic if you touch him.
