Papa and his princess. There is no greater joy then seeing grandpa with Carmen.
Halloween- Carmen, David, Alex,and cousin CJ
Carmen would look cute in a paper sack!!
Alex's school play
Cousins forever!!!!!!!
Started things off by the teenager graciously offering to get on the roof because daddy is not so petite and not that excited about heights either.
Carmen enjoyed snacking on bubble wrap while we unpacked christmas decorations
David is inspecting Carmens stocking, no doubt thinking I could pull hers down and no one would ever know.
Ah, the 1 dollar train from a yard sale. It has provided hours of entertainment. Best dollar ever spent
The finished product! Since our house was built in 1960 try to visualize this scene in black and white(since I can't figure out how to make pic black and white). With all those stockings it looks like something out of an old movie.
So Alex's school had farmer day. Alex decided he wanted to dress up as a friendly farmer. Like all good grandmas my mom went to the goodwill and scooped him up some farmer clothes(which by the way as you can imagine are by the abudance round here.) Anyway, so I ask daddy to take a pic before he sends him to school. As you can tell by all the crap in the background, daddy's not as concerned about the perfect pic as mom. However I must give him some credit for those of you who can tell Alex is holding a little pink toy pig as a prop.
I took a reshoot when he came home. I know I know anal. But mine are better!!!!
Perfect background and who needs props when you look that good in overalls.
Ah ,yes David so happy..................................
................. Because he is on the kitchen counter throwing glass cups on the floor. I swear I'm a good mom but the kid was only quiet for 12 seconds and he had climbed up on the table and onto the counter and thrown down 6 cups before I made it in there.
As he tries to get back in mommys good graces he reads to his sister after snatching the book out of her hand.
Just lovin life. I left all the pooping, puking, crying, sleepy pics out of the blog so everyone can see the true joys of being a stay at home mom.
This is my nephew CJ and his mom(my brothers ex-wife) 
Yes,Alex insisted on being a train again. My guess is he could be a different train every year until he's 60
David got a snowsuit/spiderman costume. He could be cute in a paper bag with holes in it.
Alex also wore the pirates costume Elaine got him last year. He looks a bit like Carmen a few years from now?
