The Rest of the Christmas Festivities

Some recent funny sayings, before I get into the Christmas stuff...

Sebastian, in the car, pretending he's on the phone:
"Claire, I went to school yesterday.  I went trick or treating.  Ok, bye."

Adrian:  "Mama, I want Juju and Marcy.  They took care of me in the hospital.  I want to show them my army man pants."

Sebastian:  "Christmas is all done.  Cookies (the elf) went back to the North Pole.  It's time to take out the Halloweens (the decorations)."

Adrian:  "Hafta nap.  Hafta have energy for adventures."

We had high winds on Christmas and the boys were distraught when Frosty fell over.


Mini and Grumpy came over Christmas morning for brunch.  We had french toast casserole, ham, potatoes, sausage and cranberry quiche and pistachio bread ("Grinch cake").   It was yummy if I do say so myself.  Mini cooked the ham for me, though.  I can't take credit for that!

Before going to Grumpy's house on Christmas Day night, we took a walk through the neighborhood to take advantage of the mild weather.


There goes "Army Man Adi" to patrol the streets with Puppy.


Adi loves his army man Nerf gun.  Oh boy.



At Grumpy's house the boys watched Toy Story that Time Forgot AGAIN.



We all made out like bandits at Grumpy's house.

Friday the 26th Carlos had to work.  The boys and I hung out at home ALL day.  They didn't want to go anywhere--it was a struggle even to get them out for a walk--because all they wanted to do was play with their loot.  That's a good thing, I guess!  Sebastian had fun putting cars and dinosaurs in his floam.


Adi played trains.


And also made dinosaur prints in his new playdough.  That boys LOVES his playdough.


He napped (or pretended to) and made me yell at him and tell him to get on his cot.  I don't know why he thinks that's fun!


Then I had to yell at him "Wakey upey time!" and he'd get up and run away.  Then he'd yell for me to do the whole thing over again.  So. Much. Fun.


Random, but here's a picture of the Lego Mini-Fig family we made.  Ha!


Sebastian wants to take a picture with Frosty every time we go out.





Adi spent his target gift card on MORE army man clothing.  He picked it out himself and wouldn't put it down.  He carried the clothing around on the hangers throughout the store.  He turned down toys, movies, etc.  All he wanted was his army man stuff.  Ok.




After posing with his new clothes, he insisted the army man outfit he had on was dirty and that "Mama needs to wash it" so that I would put on his new army man stuff.

More pictures with Frosty...

The boys' new obsession thanks for a DVD Santa brought is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.


Saturday night we went to Mini's house because Santa left presents there, too.  Adi LOVED his antlers.


We could not get all the boys and Tio Jim to look at the camera at the same time.




And that's all for Christmas festivities.  I'm relieved to not have to take the boys to anyone's house in the near future since it's so much work and stress to keep them under control.  But I'm sad about all the parties etc. being over.
