Whoa, how time flies....

WHEN YOU ARE HAVING FUN!!!

This weekend was another fun one. Daddy and mommy went to a neighbor's holiday party and had our neighbor, Sterling, sit at our house while the boys slept. It was her first night babysitting and she did great! We met our friends Christy and Mike there, who had their baby monitors attached to Mike's pants, so automatically felt better about having a 6th grader listen out for our boys while they slept. They were asleep, we were just across the street, and we were suppose to be only gone an hour...whoops, mommy and christy started drinking the red wine and well, poor Sterling!!!

Taylor "reads" himself a bedtime story.

Turner is too busy "honking the horn", "unlocking the doors" and "turning on the police siren" to read!

Radio Cruisers through the dining room.....FUN, FUN, FUN!!

Traffic Jam...

Kings of the Slade household! Daddy swore he got these from a teacher friend, but mommy is suspicious since they appeared after daddy's "run to Walmart". UH-huh, sure, daddy! Nevertheless, the boys loved them and enjoyed taking them off each other's heads.

Go Falcons...Today was a sad day in NFL football for the Falcons. Really sad showing. So sad that daddy didn't even watch the game after first quarter. Though the Falcons cups are still a hit. Thanks to mommy's friend, Penny, who got them for us. When Turner saw that Taylor was drinking his water from a Falcons cup, he went over to the cabinet where their cups are kept , pointed and grunted. Not much talking yet, but they can sure make their needs known with those grunts!

Winter wonderland....Family photo in the back of daddy's truck! I was shaking a box of dog biscuits to get everyone's attention. You can see the pointing and grunting from Turner. It was so cold today that our activities outside were limited without bundling the poor boy's up. They looked like Friar Monk from Robin Hood.

More grunting and pointing.....

Taylor loves to blow bubbles with his drinks.....love those boys and their funny traits!

Santa Claus is coming to town...We took the boys to Breakfast with Santa at Roper. What fun it was to see everyone and to introduce Santa to the boys. Frankly, they were more interested in running around, grabbing cords, climbing up the auditorium stairs and just being the wild boys that they are!! Sitting on Santa's lap would have been fine, but Taylor had a meltdown right before it was our turn in line because he was trying to pull the ornaments off the tree. I picked up him up and moved him from the tree after "no touch tree" did not work...The wailing started and got louder. Plan B. Ben and I with the boys...Poor Santa (my friend Ron). The photographer actually managed to get a good photo of the 4 of us with Santa, which I will try to post somehow.

Home Photo Shoot: Ok, I need some help. Which photo should I use for our holiday card? PLEASE email your votes to lizdoveslade@yahoo.com ASAP, as I can procrastinate no longer to get cards our by Christmas. I keep trying to get these two mobile busy bees to pose for a photo and these are the best I think I will get.
