Trey's year!!

We didn't waist anytime this year getting a tree. The day after Thanksgiving we were driving around and decided to get a tree. Each year the boys take turns putting the topper on the tree. This year was Trey's year!! This year however our tree is a little different! We decided to get a Charlie Brown tree, or what I call a Charlie Brown tree. When we got to the farm I asked the boys if they wanted to get a small tree just for fun. We've gotten big trees in the past why not try a small tree. Everyone was on board with the idea except Tyler. He wanted a big tree(sorry Ty). Tyler was worried it wouldn't take long to decorate, but that was solved when the tree fell over as we were moving it after decorating it and we got to start all over!;) After decorating it a second time Tyler declared that he liked the tree. One of the main reasons I like the tree is it's out of this little mans reach! He want crazy while we were decorating. I think every ornament when into his mouth before it went onto the tree! And I've gotta mention this little "Elk". Kyle, Kory and Trey were playing 'Elf" on Saturday and Trey's been walking around since then being Santa's little "Elk"(someone corrected him so now he says 'elf', but I thought it was cute when he was calling himself an 'elk'.) He has a pillowcase full of toys and is enjoying the holiday season.

How in the World...

So, just wondering how in the world does toothpaste end up ALL over the bathroom. How hard is it to get toothpaste from the tube, onto a toothbrush and into your mouth?! I had to laugh a few days ago when I came into the bathroom to find this mess. Toothpaste on the mirror, sink, cabinet, floor...you get my drift. I brought the boys into the bathroom and showed them. We all got a good laugh and they said they'd be more careful. Boys!!

Geologist?!

While hiking a few weeks ago Kyle just HAD to take a hammer. He was bound and determined to find a fossil. I'm happy to report he remembered his safety glasses. So, does he have the makings of a future geologist?

And The Winner is...

Trey! Maybe you can't tell in the picture, but laundry this week was out of control. Makai and Trey's piles were pretty close, but in the end Trey's pile won. (Of course I still had two loads, one in the washer and one in the dryer, when I took this picture and Makai's pile is leaning.) Turning laundry into a game sometimes makes the task easier.
Do you have any tips that make housework more fun?
