November 2010

This November was pretty hectic to say the least. Instead of doing individual posts about everything I am going a drive-by to try to help me get caught up.

We started the month off with a field trip. The Kindergarten classes went to see Disney on Ice. I highly recommend this for anyone who hasn't ever been. the kids all loved it! I love all things Disney - especially the music. Out of all of the scenes, Beauty and the Beast was my favorite!

Rome rode on the bus with his class and then came to sit with me during the first half of the show. As soon as intermission started he told me he was ready to go back and be with his friends. At least he sat with me for a little while!

Rome and Brant

We no longer have a baby bed up in our house. I have to admit that I was sad the day we took it down. Nash's was so excited to have a big boy bed. I started him off with the mattress and box spring on the floor and moved him up after a few days. He looked so small in the bed - I know he will fill it up soon enough!

Rome wanted Jason to come to school and eat Thanksgiving lunch with him. The kid honestly cracks me up. He told Jason the reason he wanted him to come was because he didn't like yams, but he knew Jason did so he could have his!

Nash's pre-school also had Thanksgiving lunch. It just happened to be Alabama/Auburn day at our school. I painted Rome's face and natuarally Nash wanted paint on his face too! I painted a turkey on his. I got to go eat lunch with Nash and Gigi. The food was great and the kids even sang a song. They were soooo cute!

Not one shy bone in this kid's body...

Our bunch...

We usually take a group pictures but apparently we didn't this year or if we did somehow my camera wasn't around.

Nash Turns "3"

We just had a family birthday party. Nash wanted his cake to be Superman. Since his party was Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to take cupcakes and balloons to preschool so he could celebrate with his friends.

Discipline

My husband and I are pretty strict with the boys. We definitely try to pick our battles and use various forms of punishment. Sometimes punishment comes in the form of time-outs, loss of toy, or spanking. There are a couple of deal beakers that usually require a spanking and one of those is talking back. After giving Rome a spanking - basically one swat on the behind - for talking back to me because he didn’t want to come inside - I then put him on the time-out stool and this is the conversation that followed. R: Mommy, you should be careful when you spank someone you might break something. Me: What? R: I said that you might break something when you are giving someone a spanking. Me: Like what? R: My butt Me: (trying not to bust a gut laughing) Did you just say butt? R: Yeah, my daddy calls it that Me: I am not going to break your bottom or anything else when I spank you and if you say butt again you will have to stay in timeout. Like I said, I need to pick my battles.

Christmas 2014

Wow! I am a terrible blogger but I have been missing it a lot lately. Life is flying by and the boys are growing up right before our eyes. I decided the easiest thing for me to do in order to get back to blogging is to just do it. So here goes!

I decided to start with Christmas since the pictures are fresh off the camera.

Rome will be 10 in two days, (how is THAT even possible?!?)

and Nash turned 7 on November 27th.

Jason, Rome, Nash, and Me

This is my brother's bunch: Todd, Heather, Will (16), Mary Kathryn (13), and Dixon (3)

Mom and Dad are doing great!

They love having the whole crew at their house on Christmas Eve!

This is Nash's tough guy face!

Rome decided to try on Nash's pads and helmet too!

They both loved their Chubb jerseys!

It thrilled Duck that they both wanted he and GiGi to get them Georgia Bulldog stuff!

Getting ready for Santa!

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

Santa brought Nash a bike, Anakin Lego set, some Wii-U games,

and a soccer ball with a goal!

Santa brought Rome an Amari Cooper jersey, a signed Cooper picture,

PS4 with games, and a gift card to Buffalo Wild Wings!

Most of the day was spent just like this, playing games and grinning from ear to ear!

GiGi and Duck came over to see what Santa brought!

Mimi and Papa came by to see the gifts too!

We will celebrate Christmas again tomorrow with Mimi and Papa!

Our family is truly blessed! So thankful that today we were able to celebrate Jesus' Birthday!

p.s. Maybe I will blog again soon!

Nash's Halloween Party

Nash absolutely loves pre-school. He can not wait to go to "Wittle Wambs" and play with his friends. Since I am teaching I can't always get away to go to things at his school but, I am so fortunate that Gigi is always there and is willing to make pictures so that I can at least feel like I was there.

Here are some pictures from his Halloween Party
