Bribery

Today Price sang in the preschool choir at church. I was worried he wouldn't sing (like last time) so I told him before church that if he sang pretty, he could have whatever he wanted for lunch!
His request: Donuts and French Fries! Lunch of Champions!! :)

Edventure & Bday Parties

I took Owen & Price to Edventure last Friday with some friends. It was Owen's first time going and he absolutly loved it. The Fire Truck was his favorite!!

Price & Brice on the Fire Truck

O driving the Fire Truck
(I had to pry him out of that seat!)

Driving the VW. The boy likes to drive!

A rare picture of P&O together! :)

Pushing their buggys (would that be buggies or buggys? Oh, who cares....)

Apparently O thought we needed some clothes detergent!

On Saturday we had birthday parties to attend. Owen's friend, Manning, turned 2! She had the Columbia Marionette Theater come and preform a puppet show. Owen loved it. I was amazed at how attentive he was. I didn't get great pictures at this party but here are a few of what I got.

The Bday Girl blowing out her candles!

Price's friend, McKenzie, and her sister, Madison, had a double birthday party with Sarah Dippity. If you've never been to a party with her, your missing out. She does face painting and a magic show and really knows how to keep the kids attention. Everyone at the party had a great time. I tried to get Price to get a baseball painted on his face but he insisted he wanted a dragon.....so a dragon he got! He cried during bath time when I had to wash it off. (Most of it was already smeared off by that point but I couldn't bear to tell him!)

Magic show with the bday girls

These are my favorite kind of weekends!! :)

Owen's BFF

I caught O putting a puzzle together with Sophie the other day. O loves Sophie!! He carries her around the house all the time, much to her dismay! I guess the fact that he shares all his food with her is worth all the torture he brings! Poor Sophie Dog!

Circus McGurkus

Today we took Price to the circus for the very first time. He LOVED it. I think it was hard for him to see all that was going on so he was wide eyed in amazment the entire time looking back and forth trying to see everything.

We have been reading "If I ran the Circus" by Dr. Seuss so he has kept calling it the "Circus McGurkus" and kept saying he wanted pink lemonade and asked if Mr. Sneedlock was going to be there! :) Funny little boy! I'm sure he was surprised that the book was nothing like the real thing.

I think we all enjoyed "The Greatest Show on Earth!"

2 Thessalonians 3:3

"The Lord is faithful. He will make you stong and gaurd you!" ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:3

That was in Price's Devotional Bible reading for tonight. I guess those arn't always just for the kids, they are for the parents as well! :) Just what I needed, right when I needed it!

Updating, finally....

I used to be good at this blogging stuff but now that I enjoy sewing, it's making it harder to find time to update. Sooooooooooo, this will be semi-short and sweet.

Our house is on the market. Not one single person has come to look at it.....but I'm patiently waiting. Ideally, I'd like to move to this side Lexington, but we'll see!!!

P & O are doing great! O can talk so much now. His favorite things to say are "I want juice" and "I want Buzz" (as in Buzz Lightyear - he stole that line from his big bro!)
Since my MIL helps me out with the boys whenever I need help, O is also saying a nice Silverjax cheer...but Sorry, Deb! Don't get any ideas! :)

We also took O's paci away except at nap and night. So far, So good. Not looking forward to taking it away altogether. He might be in grade school before that happens. (JK!)


P got his progress report from school and I'm very proud to say he got ALL check marks, including a note at the bottom that said, and I quote:
"Price is a VERY smart little boy and one of our best singers in group time."
Never thought I could feel so proud. What an improvement from his behavior issues from last year. We've come a long way.

Our bible study group has just started back and we're doing "Effective Parenting in a Defective World" by Chip Ingram. Oh my.....so good! I will try to share some insight on here once we get into it more.

AND I'm thinking about starting the G-Free diet! Anyone have some insight?


That's about it!! Hopefully I'll do better about updating!!



And.........since my boys are so cute.......here's a few pics!!

Twas the Night Before Christmas...

Tonight we went to my Mom's house and spent Christmas Eve with Gigi and Papaw. Price's favorite thing about their house is their train that goes around their tree. He had so much fun playing with the train with Papaw.


Then we had to get back home to get ready for Santa. Price and I made cookies for Santa. I'm no cookie artist, but I thought Price's was really good for a 3 year old. The only help he had was with the sprinkles and a little help with the lips....otherwise, he did it all on his own. Santa is going to be proud!

The cookie I decorated for Owen


Price's Cookie
(Pretty good, huh?!?)

We even left Santa Chocolate Milk cause we know it's his fav!!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a GOODNIGHT!!
