Saturday Soup - Ho! Ho! Ho! and Days of OUR Lives

We took the boys to see Santa at the mall today and I was very pleased with the look of the Santa, very traditional, nice natural beard, etc. Sam was super excited to AGAIN ask for a white tiger, Jack wasn't as excited about this Santa though. Whether it was the beard, the hat, or the big belly - we can't be sure but Jack was NOT going to sit on his lap!
From Bad to Worse.. Fast!
Lately I've been finding myself wanting to record the boys at this stage in their everyday hum-drum activities, just so I can remember them. They are at such fun and frustrating ages so here's my debut of the Days of OUR Lives with Sam (4.5 years & Jack 15 months). One day they will thank me for cleaning up after them......Sam starting the day with a nutritious breakfast of Cookie Crisp WITHOUT milk!
What happens while I'm showering and getting ready - mind you it usually only takes me 5 minutes to shower, and a total of 30 minutes to get ready...The boys playing farm with the tractors - they play really well together in their room.Fireman Sam - one of the many costumes he goes through each dayJack has had enough of lunch - what its not going to be candy and fruitsnacks!!
Playing Candy Land with Sam - skating over Lord Licorice

Tiger/Dog/Wolf/ Who Knows What the animal Sam is pretending to be....
Playing the Wii Fit & Playing Peek-a-boo in the Shark Tent
(just before the tackling and crying starts)Jack is such a smart boy - blows his nose, climbs on the folding chairs (safe!), table, toilet seat, anything that he might fall off of and require stitches afterSwimming Lessons - Sam is rocking it at the pool and is becoming quite the little fish

Jack can also now raid the fridge and get himself his favorite treat: Go-Gurt

A little bit of Golf before bed - and a fistful of JUNK. Jack has to sleep with something in at least one hand, he prefers wadded up scotch tape, wrappers or small plastic animals.


Happy Saturday to all - we are headed up to the Ultrasound tomorrow and will be posting as soon as possible.
