Kindergarten Christmas Program

You gotta love a good Kindergarten program.

They had already performed for the older grades earlier that day, during which (as reported by older brothers) Gus had apparently been cuddling up to the girl standing next to him, and stroking her hair.......which sounds a little weird.......I'm not too sure that that's normal......and then there was allegedly some nose-picking.

So I was a little nervous to see what he might do during the big performance.

But he sang his little heart out.  See him?

Here's the same pic zoomed in.....

And then the antlers went on.....

And I could barely see him the rest of the performance!

Although I got this shot......

.....of a mid-nosepick. 

Through some antlers.

What's a Kindergarten Program without some good nose-pickin'?!   I always say!

And afterwards, a little cousin-lovin' with cousin Kellen.

Good stuff.

Dear Mr. Werner,

I just wanted you to know that my son, Zane, does have more clothes than

 the black shorts and striped sweatshirt that he wears every. single. day.

Just in case you were beginning to get concerned.

In fact, he has lots of other clothes that he just doesn't want to wear, and

 this is a battle that I'm choosing not to fight right now.  I'm sure you

understand.

I can't guarantee that this outfit is getting washed every day (or two), but I'm

 trying.  Let me know if he starts to stink.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mason



one cute chick

Caroline was a yellow chicken for Halloween.

One of these days I'll get the rest of Halloween on here.  But right now I'm just glad to get something blogged.

This was a Chasing Fireflies costume that I then stuffed the body inner lining, which I thought made it alot cuter.

And she was such a good sport about having it on!  Hood & everything!!

She is so my most favorite fat little baby chicken ever!

Hors

This is Hors.

Also known as Carter the Brown Horse.

And he is Gus's favorite stuffed animal at the moment.

Hors was zero years old until he recently had his birthday(which we all had to celebrate), so now he is one.  He eats dinner with us & has his own bed, and is full of all kinds of ideas & opinions.

Too bad Gus wasn't a girl, because he'd be great at playing dolls.  Marlee didn't give a rip about dolls, and so far Caroline's more interested in trains & balls, so I've felt a little jipped in that department.  But maybe this will have to make up for it.

The other day I found this on the kitchen table.....

 

And this....

I'd have to give Hors a thumbs-up.

He never talks back to me.

Gus would definitely vote 'yes'.

Hors has been the favored one for some time now, which says alot for him.

And he's not lost yet.  Well.... lost, then found, then lost, then found a few times.

Sorry, Hors.  But it's only a matter of time.

school pictures

Now that the school year is half over, I'm getting around to posting these that I took back in August!

I'm not a big fan of the usual school pictures.  Maybe I'd buy them just for the classic horrible-ness of them, except that they're ridiculously over-priced.

So this year I decided to take my own.  I like them alot better. 
And they're free!  :)
