Merry Christmas...early just in case

Since today is the official due date, and I've been getting a contraction here and there for the last few days, I thought it's high time to post our Christmas card. I'm a punk that doesn't do a Christmas letter, but you read the blog, so you know what is going on for the most part. Though I will open this up to a question and answer forum. Any questions you have, I'll answer them! Think and ask away!!!

Merry Merry Christmas!!!!

Morning crafts

So I was told we had to make Buzz Lightyear wings this morning. Of course, each child needs their own pair, so I had to make two.

Enjoy!

Haha, tricked you, I'm still pregnant

Thought no blog posts meant a baby, WRONG! It just means I'm feeling lazy and tired. Hmm I wonder why? Oh YEAH, I'm enormous! Here look!


Though, I still feel like having fun some of the time, even with a cold.



Oh, and to show off how cool my MIL is, here are the boys and the stockings she MADE for them....BY HAND!! That means no sewing machine people.

Eek, lots to do, but hey even if I don't get it all done I'll at least stop crying at Ed's baby pictures. Can't wait for he hormones to relax a bit.

Buzz success!

It was a success, even with the bottom still unhemmed. I haven't been able to get it off him long enough to finish it. I may have to hide it from him in the middle of the night to finish it at nap time.




After seeing the previous two pictures I said, "Wow, we have a really cute kid." Then we came upon this picture. Neither of us could stop laughing.

Christmas Extras

We took our Christmas postcard pictures, and had some fun outtakes. BK was especially excited to use the timer, and made 007 take multiple timed pictures. He even cried when we finished. Poor kid.


BK was so excited to be photographed by himself.


look at Ed




Another timer request.





This is Ed hopped up on a rootbeer float.

So BK is obsessed with Buzz Lightyear, totally and completely. Add to that a very cold house and the fact that he hates fleece, mornings are sad and cold. To make things warmer and happier, I made this.



Here they put kids in blanket sleepers for many many years(without feet so the kids can walk). When there is no central heating, kicking off blankets can cause some problems, so I modeled it after Ed's pink one. I'll let you know what BK thinks in the morning.

Speaking of Buzz Lightyear, we've watched Toy Story 2 and 3 and Ed loves the Gipsy Kings version of "You've got a friend in me". He's trying to teach himself Spanish, and wants to be part of a Mariachi band(in addition to being a paleontologist) when he grows up. He asked an awesome question though.

Ed: Mom, what does achi mean?
Me: Like in Nihongo or English?
007: It means hot like achi chi chi(atsui - hot in Japanese)
Ed: no achi.
007: Like in Mariachi?
Ed: Yeah!
007: Well what does Mari mean?
Ed: Well you and mommy are married.
