December 4, 2010

The big kids were in Kansas City this weekend, so Rowan got Jon all to himself. Sometimes someone is Obi Wan Kanobi, but more than likely they're lesser known jedis like Okoboji or Ob/Gyn.

Yep. That's a ninja. He was fighting the shepards earlier in the day.

When Conor and Ellie are dressed and ready for school, (completely ready!) they get to open the advent calendar. So far it's been candy, or a note about what we'll be doing that afternoon.

This guy didn't feel well on Wednesday, so we spent a lot of time snuggled on the couch with "Banana Pooh".

We geek them early around here. (Photo by Ellie).

This is the football section of our tree. Three guesses as to who organized it.

I apparently have an Advent calendar obsession. This is our newest one.

Helping Jon put lights on the tree is one of my least favorite jobs. This year I happily handed it over to a very willing Ellie.

Ellie wrote Rowan's letter to Santa. I think it's some kind of summary, with a direct quote at the end.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The kids didn't have school the day before Thanksgiving, and Jon took a half day off, so we were in Cedar Falls in time to go to Z's for supper. The pizza is amazing, and Jon will tell you that's why he likes that place so much.


I think it also may have something to do with the frosty mugs.

Here's Ellie's first letter of the year to Santa. "I would like a desk, 20 quistons, clay, 21st century hangman, grow a frog, moon dough, spinart, flexezz, hidden picture and many other things," So there you are. But if anyone gets her moon dough, I'm no longer speaking to them.

I've said it before, probably even right here on this blog, but you can sell crazy somewhere else. We're all stocked up here.

Dorky smile aside, these are my favorite jammies ever!

Happy Wilson Thanksgiving!

He's talking to Grandpa. Do you see a theme in Rowan's attire?

November 18, 2010

Do you see all those muscles??

November 17, 2010

Football, man.

At conferences, the kids' teacher mentioned how much she loves Ellie's sense of style. Here's yet another example of that.

Really, sometimes she'll do just about anything to have someone to play with.

I'm not all that proud of this one. Nevertheless, here are the "poopy machine brother twins".
