The kiddos!

I took the kids to Portrait Innovations this afternoon and had their Christmas photo done. I stuck to the plan and walked away paying $10.72 with a whole bunch of pictures for our family. The picture works, but the cutest pictures were when they were by themselves. Oh well, that wasn't part of my plan! LOL Ian still has that one tooth hanging - not sure when that front tooth will come out! Ian did a great job smiling, but they had him sitting straight up and so it didn't look all that natural. Gavin didn't think the guy was funny, so didn't laugh to get that natural smile!

Tonight we went to the Kirk for the Advent Fair and they worked together on different craft projects. There were some great ideas there and the boys were really into it with their friends (Connor, Justin, William, Lily and Elijah). So, it was a late night for them on a school night. Cailean missed out on the event because he was in WVA fixing a plane. He came home after we got home.

The boys are using their imaginations at home more these days. Gavin pretends he is "Wally" and who is Wally? Well, he was the contractor who installed our new windows. So Gavin walks around with his tool belt on with his tools and tries to fix things. He put tape on Ian's door because it looked like there were some cracks. Then Ian pretends he is Cailean. LOL

They go camping a lot in the house with a tent, flashlights, books and of course, Gavin's tools. Then they pretend they are hunting for deer. Yes, Cailean likes this idea!

Gavin likes to do whatever Ian is doing. If Ian is doing homework, then Gavin says he has homework to do. If Ian puts his hands on his head, then Gavin will do the same. Monkey see, Monkey do!

Looking forward to seeing my brother and Alissa tomorrow! They are heading up here for the weekend!!!

Oh, I'll leave you with this one liner from Gavin that was said to me this morning...

So, we're in carpool line at pre-school. Gavin toots in my car. He looks at me and says, "My butt just burped!" LOL
