Santa

We went to Sentry for Santa, games and bouncy houses etc. Reid loved the games, and music.
See all those bouncy houses and huge inflatable slides behind him in the above picture? Well he really had no interest in them, he just liked hanging out by the speaker dancing! Since I really should be working and I'm just procrastinating here are some unedited Santa pics!So sorry I left you hanging. So after many days of Reid saying, things like, I don't want Ned the dinosaur from Santa, I want a DVS, (a nintendo DS) we were really wondering what he would say to Santa when his turn came. He was a little nervous, which is very unlike him, but it's a big deal to sit on Santa's lap! He climbed up and shyly said, "I would like monster slippers." Yup there you have it monster slippers.

So before....

I tell you about Santa I wanted to document this because I thought it was so cute and I didn't want to forget.Reid was painting one day and having a blast. I looked over and saw this.... do you see that serious face?Do you see where that little hand is located?
I saw it, yes I did. Then I saw water all over the table. I said, "Reid honey you can't spill the water all over the table and your art work." His response...."It's OK mommy, It's OK, I am an ARTIST," and he continued to paint with the water. I laughed and laughed and wished I could just dump water everywhere or anything for that matter and call myself an artist. Well maybe someday I will be able to, you never know!

Thankful

Here are a few photographs from Thanksgiving. Didn't have a flash so embrace the grain, I love these pictures they remind me to be thankful for laughter and fun. Yup this is what happens in our kitchens on Thanksgiving. Just an FYI those are my sister's big glittery shoe/slippers in the foreground.
El's facial expressions crack me up in these two.Reid escaping the madness.Then heading back for more.
El and Reid with "sniffy" aka Spiffy.This is so sweet and cuddly isn't it?They are not reading books which is what I originally thought when I looked back at these pictures. They are playing Nintendo DS. Which is a great lead into my next post. Stay tuned to find out what Reid asked Santa for!
