Bridges

The last week Nathan has been building bridges non stop. I think it is so cute because he is very serious about how they are made. Here is a picture of the bridge he made this morning. As he is building the bridge he tells me how the car has to jump and drive over all the different parts. I love it! 

He is not in the picture with his bridge because he didn't want to put on underwear. I didn't want a weird picture so we settled on the bridge by itself. 

Boys, you have to love em. 

Grocery Shopping.

Neither one of my boys like to wear pants? Most days Nathan's mysteriously get taken off towards nap time. On days when we stay home I feel like I don't even notice because his shirts are so long they cover his booty. My favorite memories of my pant less wonder go like this.
Me: As I glance across the room to see him playing twister and notice a big bare bum " Nathan , put some pants on"
Nathan: "What ? "
Me:" Put some pants on"
Nathan: " I can't"
Me: "Why?"
Nathan: "What?"
Me: "Nathan , where are your pants?"
Nathan: "What?"
This conversation goes on for a while as you can see.

This brings me to Nolan. Oh Nolan. My little guy does not like clothes. He gets so happy when you take them off and gets super grouchy when he realizes you are putting more on.
Yesterday he was not feeling very well so when I saw how happy he was to be naked I let him go with it for a bit. He decided to do some grocery shopping while naked. I thought these were the funniest pictures . He was walking around like he was soooooo happy and free .  I keep thinking to myself I sure am glad this isn't how everyone grocery shops! Could you imagine?! h ah ahah ah.

Charlie

This Christmas we started a new tradition with our elf Charlie! Charlie is from the Elf on the Shelf book. When Charlie first got to our house Nathan and daddy opened him up and got on line to name and register him. We had to do this first so Santa will know where all of his elves have gone to live. I am not sure where the name Charlie came from but I like it and am very glad he didn't end up with Nathan's recent go to word...... poo poo. 

Nathan was holding him and flying around with him until we read the book. It has specific instructions not to touch the elf! It apparently affects his Christmas Magic that allows him to fly to the North Pole every night with his report for Santa. Oh no! It turns out he was okay and was able to make his first flight. Whewwww. 

Every morning Charlie is in a new spot . He has been spotted all over the house. Nathan always knows where he is but never seems to look for him? 

I would like to thank Charlie for helping have lots of good nights and no whining at bedtime. I am worried what will happen when he has to be sent away till next year. 

Cookie Time

We decided to do a practice session on baking cookies for Santa. Nathan thought it was a great idea! He made some super cool snowmen, gingerbread men and christmas trees! Poor Nolan was already in bed by the time cookies cooled off. I am sure next year he will be right in the middle eating the sprinkles with the rest of us. :)

I think Santa will be pleased

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

This last weekend our friends Brady and Cash had a Christmas Party. It was soooo fun. There were lots of yummy treats, crafts, and............Santa Claus!!!!!!!! Can you believe it!? Santa Claus came to visit all the kids. It was pretty exciting to say the least. Santa talked to all of the kids and handed out presents. Nathan of course told Santa that he would like a "McQueen" . He also told him about his new elf Charlie. Santa agreed that Charlie tells him what Nathan is doing and he better keep up the nice act or Charlie will tell. Thank you Santa! :)
Here are some pictures of the night . You can see Nolan is still not okay with Santa. I love the look he is giving him. When it was Nolan's turn to get his present he didnt take eyes off of him. He has a look like " I am watching you Santa" . I love it.

Snowflakes

Last weekend Nathan decided it was time to decorate his room. We made some snowflakes that he cut out with his safety scissors. After they were just right we went out and he "spray" painted them blue to look like real snowflakes. After they dried we put them on a ribbon and hung them up in his room.
They look pretty awesome if you ask me! I am thinking about letting him decorate the whole place next year!

and yes that is Nathan outside in December with no pants on. The next Friday it snowed! Got to love Texas :)javascript:void(0)
