Seriously Scout?

As if this week isn't crazy enough now Scout has wrapped the tree! I found him squatting in the toilet paper roll.
Not a good example Scout - don't make me email Santa!

Where Does Your Broom Reside?

Funny question isn't it? Oh the lessons you learn. Tyler has decided the most exciting thing in the entire world is the kitchen broom. At first we were like gross, but he loved it so. I gave it a cleaning and he carried it all around the house so happy and proud of his 'toy'. Well aside from me still being grossed out there is a much larger problem - a one year old with a 3.5 foot poll can do a lot of damage. After clearing some counter tops and finding myself cleaning the broom for him I decided this needs to come to an end. I started putting the broom in the garage, but when we get home for the day and walk through the garage he sees it and has an all and all out fit for it. Now the broom lives in our bathroom (toilet room) because he doesn't go in there. I think it's funny that we jump through all these hoops to make sure he never sees it. It's literally a hurry hide it before he sees it event in our house. You would think Will and I were operating some sort of high level secret mission the lengths we go to and then I wonder what the heck are all these toys for?

Ride em Scout - Tyler has

We found Scout riding the elephant. What a fun life he leads. Tyler once rode well - passed out on the elephant. He was a newborn in this picture - a little milk drunk I think.

Poker Party

We found Scout surrounded by his friends playing Poker. Two things come to mind - where did he get money? And based on his hand is he cheating? Santa would not approve of that!

Lucy's Baptism

Brandy and Mark's daughter Lucy was baptized on December 10th. We were so happy to be included on such a great occasion and it was a beautiful baptism. We could not get a good photo of Lucy and Tyler looking at each other, but they were both smiling. I am sure next year they will be on a more even playing ground.

Hot Tubbing

Looks like he is having fun. Wonder if he is wishing his she - elf he was so concerned with in late November visited on her way back to her home?

Matryoshka doll

Nanny brought us a Matryoshka doll from Russia. You have seen it before but maybe not known what it was called. We had ours all 'packaged' up into one but it seems Scout figured they should all be out. I attached a photo as it was before and then what we found.
