The Last Day

Today was our last day of Mother's Day Out for the fall semester. We had a bunch of teachers and kids both absent today for various reasons. My class only had 6 boys as opposed to the normal 11. David's class combined with another class & I'm not sure how many they had. Here are some of my pictures from today.


In the past few weeks, David has brought home come crafts from MDO & church that we've stuck on the tree, but this one takes the cake! Perhaps this is my first "mother's cherished ornament" - if anything EVER happens to this one, I will cry. Those 4 snowmen are David's fingers dipped in white paint and the one on the back is his thumb! His teacher added the accent paint to make them snowmen. My kudos to his teacher on this one!!!



Mom & David say "CHEESE!"

Congratulations, Jana!

In honor of Aunt Jana's graduation from the University of Houston today, we dedicate "Jingle Bells Practice" to her:

Sissy's Box

Here is more proof that Aunt Sissy's Cardboard Box is destined to be the hottest toy of the year! : ) If you haven't seen her box, click on the link & go bid!!!

Tabi enjoys a good box, too.

One of these things is not like the other...

Here's a game for you...

Can you identify the 5 pieces

that don't belong in this nativity scene?

Just for Fun

Tabi & Lightning McQueen guard the Christmas tree.

"I'll watch this way, you watch that way."

Uncle Bubba - Aunt Sissy & I are doing our best to provide job security for you!!!

Aunt Sissy - Am I still winning???? : )

Cold Boy

Brrr... David shivers when he gets out of the tub!

Today we looked back at his baby book and talked about when David was a baby. He looked confused and didn't say a word until I put the albums away.

Cat Boy

I would say that Tabi has sufficiently warmed up to David...

Had I not witnessed this naptime event yesterday, I don't know if I would have believed it! And he was even wearing a dog shirt!

Aren't they cute!?!?

Then it looks like they rolled around a little bit...

Then David rolled to the other end of the couch and Tort got in on the napping action.

David on Video

I also took a video of David with Santa yesterday so Dad could see it. Santa was waiting for me to take a picture. You can see in this video just how interested in Santa David was... but notice how he's enjoying the cookie & candy cane!

This morning, David suddenly discovered this little round quilt thing that Grandmama made on the back of the rocking chair and took great interest in it! I think she would have been proud that he likes it so much!

Does this picture look better than usual to you? I think the color & clarity has greatly improved. I have finally resolved the HP issue. After wasting over an hour having to re-take photos yesterday, I bought a Canon and will try to sell the HP on eBay.

Another amazing difference with the Canon is the video quality. I wasn't even considering that when I made my decision. The previous video was shot with the HP; the following with the Canon. I think you will also enjoy the subject of this video, too! : )

David Visits Santa

We visited Santa, who was visiting the fire station, today. David didn't really care who he was sitting on as long as he got to eat his cookie. He never said anything to Santa, and I'm not sure if he even looked at the old guy! He just sat there, eating his cookie, twirling a candy cane, watching the firemen & other kids that were running around the engine bay.


And OK, by the end of the day I just didn't feel like walking blocks to get a good spot to watch the Parade of Lights, so David & I stayed home this evening. We did rent Cars (the movie), however, and both greatly enjoyed it!

David's First Tattoo

Dad got a little creative tonight with his boy. Can you make out the heart-shaped tattoo on David's arm? : ) He came in to show me & said that it says, "I love MOM"... how sweet is that?

I wonder if Dad was trying to do something "manly" after seeing David dance around the living room with Mom watching ice skating? hmmm....







Now here's something... How many of you have had fresh, home grown tomatoes in the month of December??? I picked these Wednesday afternoon before the cold front came through. Last night's freeze finished off the plants. But look at that bucket of tomatoes I got!!! Sure did make for good tacos & sandwiches the last few days.
