Karson's sleeping pattern!!

Darrel and I keep mentioning of journaling Karson's sleeping habits. So I figure the best way is to blog it. Not sure if anything is wrong with my sweet child. But he does have some weird sleep patterns. We think it is comical also. The following pictures are in the same night within 20 mins of each other. And we also put him back into a reg position, came back and he is laying crazily again.

2010 CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

We finally finished our 2010 Christmas ornaments. I like the tradition that we do every year. I hope we continue to do an handmade ornament for years to come. The boys enjoy doing the crafts. And I let them do the crafts by their selves. I don't try to make everything turn out better or prettier. They are perfect just the way they were made. And it shows the true talents of a 4 year old. This was a two day process. The first day we had to mix flour, salt, and water together. Then we got too roll the dough out, and we each had turns with the rolling pin. The boys picked out their favorite Christmas cutter. And off we go!! We made stars, Christmas trees, bells, snowman, gingerbread man and women, stockings, and candy canes. The boys had a blast cutting the dough and putting the shape on the pan.(some of the shapes did not hold, but it was fun!!!) We had to place the pan of shapes into the oven at 250 for 2hours; flipping every 20 mins. The next day, we finally was able to paint. They already had it their mind, to paint some pink, to place on mommy's girly tree. I made a big boo-boo though. I forgot to make holes into each shape before cooking. OOPS!!!

DARREL & KIM'S BIRTHDAY 2010

Another year passed, and another year of getting older together. We had our traditional birthday celebration. On the 1st (which is Darrel's birthday) I cooked his favorite dinner and cake. Baked spaghetti and Chocolate Eclair!! On my birthday (2nd) we went to Mccadenville(Christmas Town U.S.A.) We go to Mccadenville every year on either his birthday or mine. The boys love looking at the lights. And so does Darrel and I. Something special about hearing your kids yelling out the window "Merry Christmas" to people driving by or walking by. This year we manage to go through 4 times. Jackson was getting upset because no one would say "Merry Christmas" back to him. Finally on the 4th time going through, these older ladies were walking bye. Jackson yelled "Merry Christmas" and the ladies yelled "Merry Christmas" back at him. Jackson giggle and said "Okay we can go now" and then proceeded to say "old people said Merry Christmas" Karson was super excited and crazy that night. He got a little rambunctious and started SCREAMING "Merry Christmas" I saw the scariest face on a lady as she drove by us, and her face was directed towards Karson screaming. It was wonderful. My mom and dad had a birthday dinner for us on the 4th and also got us a cookie cake. Which the boys ate most of. Karson couldn't understand why we didn't have a birthday party.
