In honor of our governor
Of course our children have not seen The Terminator or even know what this means but it sure makes us laugh each time.

Santa
Santa was at Santee Lakes this year. He didn't say anything to the kids though except Ho Ho Ho. And Mrs. Claus was missing a couple of teeth, which can be common in our city. I'm pretty sure the kids didn't notice that part though.
La Posada
Brock's preschool has a holiday party which teaches the kids a couple of the different traditions from around the world. One of them is La Posada which reenacts the journey that Mary & Joseph made on Christmas Eve. The school designates the oldest boy and oldest girl as Joseph & Mary and Brock was the oldest. He was really proud to be Joseph. He got to walk around with "Mary" and knock on all the doors asking for a room to stay.
After we got home, my kids acted it out even more with the awesome nativity set my cousin Jamie made us this year.
Halloween 2009 - better late than never
I think in blog posts but finding the time to post them is something else. Anyway, here are our scarecrow and Barbie cheerleader. Brock chose the scarecrow idea from a book and we found the shirt and hat at the thrift store. Lynzy's cheerleader outfit was courtesy of a yard sale where it only cost me $2.
I just have one complaint about the cheerleader costume. Is it really necessary to have a see-through mesh middle? My three year old isn't going to be showing any skin if I can help it. She also won't be wearing any bikinis, makeup or dating until she is 30.

A little rain
It's been rainy recently. And we have a GREAT hill that ends at our house that is perfect for foil boat races.
A game for all ages.
For Christmas we used the gift cards from Auntie Darlene to get rain boots for the little kids. They were FREEZING after this day in the rain.

Santa
Lynzy was helping me wrap a present for Wesley. It was the first present to go under the tree. She happily placed it under the tree and on her way back to me she asked, Mommy are you Santa? Too smart for me....

Ms. Worry
I am a huge worrywart. Have been all my life. It is and probably will be my hardest struggle for years to come. I was hoping this "trait" stopped with me but it may be passed down.
Last night, Lynzy and I went to a party and left the boys alone. When I came home, Brock was super tired and ready for a bath and bed. He started to tell me that Wesley was showing Dad a video about a huge earthquake and fireball and that an asteroid was going to hit the earth. He kept talking about it for 20 minutes. Even as we were laying down, he kept asking me what would happen if an earthquake happened. I told him that there were earthquakes all over the world, sometimes in another state or even another country and we couldn't control them but that he was safe with us.
I later found out that Wesley's science teacher has told his students about Dec. 21, 2012 which some people believe will be the end of the earth. "2012 WARNINGTHE BLESSED MOTHER WARNS US OF EARTH CHANGES WHEN TWO SUNS CAN BE SEEN IN THE SKY Mayan Calendar Ends, Planet X Returns, the Milky Way Aligns with the Earth & Sun all on December 21, 2012 911 STARTED IT, THEN KATRINA, IOWA FLOODS, CALIFORNIA FIRES, NWO, INCREASED NATURAL DISASTERS, THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN" Taken from the 2012 warning website. We aren't sure if the teacher was teaching all aspects of this theory or what but both Steve and I were a little annoyed with the fact that this can cause kids to worry needlessly. I remember one time as a kid, the planets all aligned and the news was reporting it for days prior about there being some kind of force or supernatural thing was going to occur. I was FREAKED OUT! Because that is who I am. Darcy (my stepdad) finally had had it with my nonsense and told me, do you really think that in the history of the world, this is the first time it has ever happened? That question actually helped me. And so I repeated it to Wesley last night. We also asked him to chill on the doomsday talk around Brock and Lynzy. Save it for after 8 pm at night.
Brock woke up this morning all fired up and began asking Daddy tons of questions about the asteroid and earthquakes. I hope it's just because he is curious.
