This is why parents can't take showers!

Very dirty and sweaty from an intense workout session I couldn't wait to shower off. Matt just got home from work and was sitting on our bed talking to his mom. I decided to hope in the shower. I should have asked Matt to check on the kids before I got in. Next time maybe I will listen to my motherly intuition that when the kids are quiet, something is wrong. Well I get out the shower and I am toweling off when matt starts laughing and tell Asher to go see mommy...uhoh. He turns and flashes me a great smile and there on his forehead Addie signed her name the best way she could. Asher would stay still for me for nothing in the world but for his sister he must have stood still quite a while for her to inscribe her name. anyways it was funny.

FLASH!!

For Christmas my little brother so lovingly decided to send Asher his beloved favorite flash costume. Asher loves it just as much as my brother did and I thought everyone might enjoy some pictures of flash! Everytime Asher puts it one he runs as fast as he can around the house but stopped to pose for some pictures and let me check out his muscles!

Addie my Princess..Watch out world!!

Anyone who has ever met my darling Addie knows at least one thing about her and that is she is a princess. She doesn't like to be dirty yet doesn't ever want to clean either. She loves everything sparkly and shiney. She loves to go on Daddy daughter dates in which she insists on wearing way too much blush, lipstick, and a dress. She recently convinced me to buy her press-on disney princess nails and walked around the house tapping on things and saying, "Oh no mommy another nail broke!"

This morning Addie learned in which another way she was a princess. This morning was Addie's first day in Sunbeams! I tried to get her excited this morning by taking pictures of her but she wasn't too happy. She wanted to stay in nursery where she could play and rule over the other children/her peseants and eat snacks. I was expecting her to hate me when we picked her up from sunbeams but I will say a bit surprised at her new teacher's brillance Addie loved it because she found out she was indeed a real princess. She strolled up to me whereing a paper crown and proclaimed loudly "I am a princess because Heavenly Father is a king. I am his daughter." She is now excited to wear her crown continuously and to keep going to sunbeams. I tried to snap a picture of her with her crown but she told me "Mommy, I am very tired and I am going to lay in my bed."

I never argue when she wants to go to bed, it happens so rarely.

christmas break

Here are a few pictures from this past christmas. We had a great one. I decided that since I went all out for Thanksgiving that I was not cooking for Christmas but instead just stay in jammies and play with the kids all day. We had a blast. The kids loved all the gifts Santa brought them and that relatives sent them. We did make cookies for Santa Christmas Eve and all I can say is "Dear Santa, I am sorry that there are not sprinkles or icinig left on the cookies but the kids got hungry."
