That's my boy!

He can't even wait to get home before tearing into his library books.
He takes after his mommy!

Stretching the truth

Me: is that Star Wars shirt a PJ top or a real tshirt?

(Long pause...I can see Trey thinking through an answer that would
allow him to wear it today)

Trey: I'm pretty sure the tag says it's meant to be both.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Cookies for Santa and carrots for his reindeer

Imagination

It's amazing what the boys think of to play when they aren't allowed
to play electronics. Right now they are playing bank. Trey is in the
toy bin acting like an ATM machine. Jonah is putting his pretend
debit card in and getting REAL cash in return!

Chores

They clean 2 bathrooms for no money (standard chores), and the other 2
bathroom for $0.25 per kid per bathroom. Bargain!!

Another generation discovers a love of creating treasure hunts!

This is Trey's first (and unprompted) treasure hunt for his brother.
I'm so proud! Bonus points for the rhyme. It reminds me on all those
treasure hunts that Mari, Clint and I set up for each other at Mimi's
when we were young.

Pickles is our elf, CC is the Parker elf

Slumber party

Jonah and I are spending the night with the Parker kids since Mari and
Scott are at his Christmas party. I forgot to bring PJs for Jonah,
but he isn't going to let girl pajamas slow him down!

Could he be any cuter???

Too stinkin' cute!

But oh so ornery!

Trey's latest Star Wars masterpiece

Pickles is back!

Our "elf on the shelf" Pickles came back this weekend. The boys love
finding him in different spots each morning. Today Pickles was
climbing the fire truck ladder!

Look at how great Trey's drawing is! He left white where Pickles has
white fabric. What a smart boy.

Joe's big catch

Thank you Aunt Mari for introducing Jonah to fun dip

Trey says "I'm a pregnant mommy!"

Trey is at his friend Wade's house for a playdate and his mom just
sent me this. They were laughing hysterically at Trey being
"pregnant mommy." Too cute!
