Wide Eyed Big Mouthed LBR

We decided since the interest rates have dropped, that we would take advantage of them and refinance. The appraiser came by yesterday. The first thing LBR said to the appraiser when he walked in the door was, "we have some cracks and holes in the walls, I think they are broken".

Here comes Santa Clause and I can cry if I want to...

Muffin refused point blank to sit on Santa's lap. It was all I could do to convince her to stand next to him for the picture. LBR has not had a problem with Santa since his first Christmas. Santa is his buddy. Last year at the mall he wanted to hang out with Santa and color. Santa finally had to tell him that there were other children he needed to talk to.

Sushi!?!

Sushi has become an expletive at our house. It is hollered at random, mostly by the kids. They think it is hilarious and bust out in laughter every time. Sushi replaced "baby bottle". Don't ask me why, some things just can not be explained beyond the fact that they are definitely their father's children. LBR comes up to me and whispers in my ear "Mom, do we have a plan for Sushi?". They don't even know what it is. Crazy kids.

Taco, Burrito...

A few weeks back I took the kids out to CA to visit family. We stayed at my sister's house. She has two older girls and then two younger boys. One boy is just older than LBR and the other is just younger than Muffin. So, one evening her youngest spilled water all over himself. My sister took his clothes off so she could change them out for dry ones. Well, in the process her son decided to take his diaper off too. LBR saw him and said "Ahhh, I see a little burrito!".

Dinner Prayer

LBR's dinner prayer goes something like this:

• Dear Heavenly Father
• Welcome for da' food
• Welcome that had nice day
• I'm saying the prayer (yelled at Muffin)
• Welcome that
• Be quiet it's my turn (yelled at Muffin)

So cute, welcome instead of thank you.

New Job

I have recently started a new job with Jacobsen Const. The project I am on is the new Mall downtown. It's a huge project with tons of cool features, like a retractable roof (skylight). Right now it's just a big hole covering two city blocks but if you check out the following link you can see a virtual tour of what it will be. http://www.downtownrising.com/city_creek/

Catch Up Time

Pumpkin Patch (this year Muffin did not cry however, she still would not pose for pictures either)

Ok, so I finally got pictures downloaded from the last 2 months. These were from This is the Place State Park. They had a pre-Halloween trick or treat event. The kids went around the park and got treats, made crafts, and participated in activities. They dipped candles, went on pony rides, hay ride, train rides, and even made their way through a small corn maze. We had a great time!
