Work it, Sugar! On de Moose!

First off, I have to admit that I ganked this first video from a friend of my cousin's blog.

She had it there and I just thought it was too funny to pass up.

So, do it to it!



And this is just for fun.

The Swedish Chef is my favorite Muppet.

You Make Bathtime So Much Fun!

My little Isaac-Man!

He looooooves baths.

I loooooove his chubby legs. :)

Things I Thought I'd Never Say

1. Please get off your brother's stomach. I doubt he really does like you bouncing on it.
2. *while looking at a red pepper which child hates* Must be a piece of carrot.
3. Please leave that penis alone, it is not yours.
4. No more fire breathing at the table.
5. Can you please not slice me?
6. No, that's mud, not poop.
7. I am going to find some gypsies and SELL you to them. They will make you pick up cow poo. And then during a bout of misbehaving some days later: GYPSIES!!

I love having children.

Catching Up And Such

Yippee!!! We have new digs...

And we love it! We are still surrounded by boxes and packing paper and craziness...

but it is awesome.

Welcome to Fortson.

What do you get when you combine an activity from my playgroup and Joy School?

Pony rides!! :)

A very nice lady owns a large area of land and has two ponies. She allowed our playgroup (and the Joy School kids) come and ride the ponies and eat s'mores.

They had a fabulous time!! And so did we.

Mommy got s'mores too. Hee!


Brantley and Ethan riding in the pony cart.

Cute girls (Megan and Brantley) waiting their turn!

Ethan's first pony ride! YAY!!

And Roo's preferred ride.
He would have nothing to do with the horses. :)




Their first ever s'mores! Ethan decided halfway through that he was done.
Mmm...more s'mores for Mommy! :)

So we had our friends, The Israel Family over for dinner one Sunday night. We all went into the living room after eating, except Lucas...he apparently wanted more of the pasta salad and fruit salad! :)

Santa and Silverware

So the Civil War Naval Museum here in town does a thing every December where they have Santa come dressed in Civil War era garb....

And we went! As you can see:

My First Santa Picture

Roo and The Big Guy

Ethan and Mr. Claus

The Santa was SO cool...he was so nice and talkative with the kids. I loved it! I wish I could remember what Ethan said he wanted.

Lucas didn't say anything...Santa said, 'Toys?' and Roo said, 'Uh-huh.' And that proceeded to be his answer to all the questions Santa asked. :)


And I HAD to take a pic of Isaac before we left to see Santa.

Roo and Ethan picked out a frozen meal the other day. Lucas decided to go whole hog on it.


He mainly enjoyed the 'de-dup' (ketchup).

This evening I was feeding Isaac in my chair and Ethan was sitting at the coffee table. Ian and I were talking about Ethan's nose (for some reason) and Ian said,'Whose nose do you think he has?' and I said,'I think he has yours.'

Pause.

Then Ethan says, pointing to his nose,'No Mom, this is my own.' very seriously. :)
