Morning picture?

I'm not sure how we are going to do our morning porch picture in the snow. The babies need carried to the car. Hmmm.  

Christmas gifts

We've been asking the kids what they want for Christmas and Case keeps saying TWO chickens. So I pulled these up on Amazon. Stuffed chickens. Which chicken do you like Case? He instantly says "two chickens." He's going to be disappointed when Santa only brings him ONE chicken. 

A watched pot never boils

But cookies bake if you watch them. 

Birthday Cookies.

Just baked myself birthday cookies. We don't own sugar at the moment so I had to use the only thing we had. The mason jar of dry ingredients I made at MOTS the other day. Cookies are my favorite dessert.

Carbon monoxide poisoning?

Not sure why the the entire nativity set is horizontal. The kids reposition the characters everyday. It's very Elf on a Shelf-ish. 

Legos. Legos. Legos.

And they are still asking for Legos from Santa. 

Mittens

Case wanted me to take a picture of his mittens. 

Sassy pants Fione.

She is sassy. Calan calls her Sassy Pants. She officially throws fits. Full blown laying on her back kicking her legs fits. She likes the shirt on her head, arms flailing, fake crying too. 

It's morning.

Calan wakes up and plays with Legos. 

Case gets up and does naked gymnastics. (He's right above Calan's head in the 1st pic.)

Mishawaka police

We met Scott & Kari at the kids' preschool. Kari & I ran The Color Run together & he is a Mishawaka police officer. Last night he stopped by for a show and tell. After baths we put the babies to sleep & the big kids put on their hats and coats and Scott gave us all the insider info. 

Everyone tried on the handcuffs. 

We followed Scott out to the police car. 

An assault rifle.

The fingerprinting tools. 

A taser.

His badge. 

So kind. 

Today

Oral hygiene

Just bringing his toothbrush out of the drawer makes his face look like this.

Spoonful of thanks

Thursday night we went to the preschool for their Thanksgiving celebration. The kids sang two songs and then we prepared food for families and made decorations.
