Ostin

I found this video on the kids computer tonight. Boy did I need the laugh that this brought.

Disney January 2011

Here are some pictures from our Disney day trip. We went down for Caitlin's performance at Downtown Disney. We didn't go to any of the parks, we just stayed in the Marketplace and went to the Lego store and the Disney store. We had fun, but it was cold and windy. I think it would have been a nice day if the wind wasn't blowing, but it was picking up off the water and had so much moisture in it that it was just bone chilling.

Lego store.

Killing time with the boys.
You can see how cold Caleb felt.


The boys being Jedi and having a light saber duel.

More Jedi fighting.

Kid Conversation

This is what I overheard between Ostin and Caleb this morning:

Caleb: Look, a spider web.
Ostin: Let the spider bite you and then you can be Spiderman.
Caleb: Yeah, but then I can beat you up.

Don't you just love the way my son's mind works. No thought about any other kind of super powers he would get, just that he'd be able to beat up his brother.

Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Yep, She's Mine

I woke up this morning sick. Very sick. Suffice to say, I spent the whole morning in bed. Caitlin was a great help. She kept the boys quiet, got breakfast for everybody and kept checking on me to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything. She even put some clothes in dryer for me so they wouldn't go bad sitting in the washing machine.

I got up just a little bit ago to try and find something light to eat, in hopes that the virus I have has finally run it's course. As I opened the door, Caitlin is sitting at the kitchen table with floss, scissors, and tape trying to learn how to make friendship bracelets. The t.v. was on, but it was on a music channel playing Christmas music.

Ahhh. Now anyone who knows me, knows that I love to craft and as soon as Christmas music is being played, I have it going all the time. So I guess there is no denying that she's mine!

Spooktacular

I took the kids to the Jacksonville Zoo's Spooktacular tonight. They had a good time. We got to walk along the path and trick or treat at different stations set up. They had music playing and dance floors set up at different places so the kids could dance. We got to see a few animals, too. If we are here next year, I think we'll do this again.

Picture taking area as we went into the zoo.

A scarecrow to point us in the right direction.

Who's afraid of ghosts?

I liked the Pirate's Cove the best I think.

Don't count on him to get you where you're supposed to go.

Say What?

We had flag football games today. (Yes, I will eventually post pictures, I promise.) Anyway, Ostin got anxious and asked me to go ahead and put his flags on before the practice started. I must not have been putting them on fast enough for him, because he looked at me and said, "Hurry up woman." Yeah. Chad and I are going to have a talk when he gets home.
