Random Wednesday

Tuff found Snitch reading "The Night Before Christmas" infront of the Christmas tree when he woke up this morning :)

It's only the 7th day of December and I'm already running out of ideas. HA! I'm sure I'll come up with something but I always want it to be something Tuff will really enjoy finding when he wakes up and finds Snitch. So far, so good!

I've been working on our Christmas card this morning. I've finally finished and ordered it! I got a reeeeeallly good deal at Shutterfly. If you haven't ever used this website, you should check it out. I used them last year too. I've never been disappointed. When I had Gunner, they sent me a discount code for $20 off birth announcements. I never used it but when I went to check out for our Christmas card, it automatically applied that $20 to this order. SWEET. Always love a good deal when I can find one.

I got this in the mail yesterday morning....

I'm desperate for some sleep ya'll!

It had alot of good reviews on google so we'll see if it works for us.

Either way, I'll let ya'll know.

I had lunch with my sister and the presh twins today. (Harrison was at school)

 I'm in LOVE with them.

 And I'm SO proud of my sister.

I realize the 2nd picture of me is HORRIBLE but at least we got everyone in it.

We were trying to get the snow in the pics but we were almost completely unsuccessful. If it wouldnt have been for a few flakes on our jackets and hair, anyways.

And I'll leave everyone with a picture of the one who deprives me of my precious sleep...

But continues to be precious to me, regardless of how sleep deprived I am.

"Life is hard, huh?"

HAPPY WEDNESDAY, Friends!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Tuff found Snitch riding his pony in Gunner Bear's room this morning when he woke up.

We have been attempting several "photo shoots" around the house the past few days. In attempt for pictures for our Christmas card this year. I thought it would be easier to just take a few every day for a few days in a row. You know, so I don't get stressed out and the babies don't get stressed out too. LOL. Here is A LOT of what I've taken (and edited a little) so far.

It's hard work trying to get pictures of children 2 and under.

I heard alot of "NO's," "I don't want it" and "I don't want too's." HA.

The Sunday after Thanksgiving my friend Anita came out to get some pictures of ALL 7 grandchildren on Jordan's side of the family for my MIL. It was complete chaos but she ended up getting alot of good ones.

Anita is freshly new in the photography business but does an AMAZING job if you ask me. You can view her website here for more fun pictures she's taken.

Off to tackle this Tuesday! :)

Our weekend.

Saturday morning Tuff woke up and found Snitch in his room playing with all his shoes. When he found Snitch, he was wearing Tuff's favorite pair of shoes, his rain boots. Check him out.

 Technically, the children aren't supposed to touch the Elf. I try to remind Tuff of that, but I still think he's a little to young to understand that part. When he finds him every morning, he's so exctied that the first thing he wants to do is grab him up. Of course after he finds him, I take him and remind Tuff that Snitch isn't supposed to be touched because he will lose his magic. Then I put him up somewhere where he can "watch over" Tuffy throughout the day. Tuff usually doesn't ask to touch/hold him anymore.

Here he is grabbing him out of his boots Saturday morning when he found him.

He thought it was pretty funny that Snitch was wearing his boots. :)

Daddy had to work Friday night so we didn't do anything. Me and the boys hung out at home like we normally would on a week night when Daddy has to work. I did let Tuff stay up a little later than usual watching CARS with mommy! He eventually fell asleep in the chair with me.

Saturday morning we got up and cleaned house some. Then we got ready for our hometown Christmas parade. Tuff always seems to enjoy the parades. He got a big bag full of candy this time around. That could have something to do with his liking for parades. Here are some pictures.

My sweet, sweet babies in their reindeer attire.

(I realize Gunner's hat doesn't match AT ALL, but I didn't realize how windy it was going to be and that was all I had with me. Eeek. Blue hat with Christmas outfit.)

Meme with Ada & Tuff

Checking out the horsies

Woodbury was packed, as you can see!

Saturday night we went over to my SIL's house for Chili and a little football. Speaking of football, what the heck happened to GA??? They played a wonderful first half and then just fell apart the 2nd half. I would have really like to see them beat LSU. Oh well. I didn't take any pictures because we didn't do much more than eat and watch tv.

Sunday we went to my sweet nephew's 3rd birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. It was both boys first time to Chuck E Cheese and will probably be their last time until their both 5 and/or older. LOL. It was CRAZY madness in that place. PACKED full of kids and hot as haties. We were there for about an hour, maybe a little longer before I told my SIL "We have to get the heck outta here!" She thought that statement was quite funny. I, on the other hand, did not. Ha. I only got a few pictures because I was alone with both boys and had to tote Gunner around the whole time.

Don't you love the cake face?

Tuff playing a game

In the big monster truck

This was funny because Jace wouldn't get in it and Tuff ran right up to it like he wasn't scared. But as soon as we put the token in and it started moving, he started to scream like a baby. HaHa!

Gunner liked it, though. Even when it was moving.

Playing some ski ball.

(This used to be my favorite thing to play at Chuck E Cheese when I was little)

And for Gunner's first time at Chuck E Cheese, he got sketched. ;)

How sweet is this?

This is how I can tell it was a fun but busy weekend...

7 pm last night and out like a light.

This NEVER happens.

Oh!

And guess who's finally rolling over from belly to back.

This big boy.

Happy Monday, Friends.
