Some Pictures of Late

Luckily tonight I have been taking pictures instead of packing for myself and/or helping the children pack for our triangle TX/MS trip that starts tomorrow. 

I asked Brian to unpack John's suitcase and check for necessities.  This is what he found:

• 1 bottle of Elmer's glue
• 10 pairs of shorts
• 1 remote-control batmobile
• 1 good shirt (several others size 4T or smaller, all short-sleeved)
• 1 pair of skeleton-themed long-johns
• 1 catapult launcher

Note the important missing items: socks, underwear, etc.  I laughed until tears squeezed from my budding crow's feet.

This one is doing fine despite his 3 missing teeth.  He hasn't even needed the codeine they provided.

This one wants my attention ALL the time:  "Mama PLAY!"

It's very difficult to get anything done in the face of that.

We let John open one early Christmas present -- a bed tent!  It was a hit.

Wish us luck on the triangle trip -- MERRY CHRISTMAS!
