December 31, 2012...where has the year gone?!?!?

Well, I did it!  I can't believe that the year is over already!

Well, it was a lot of fun looking through the last year of photos.  

I am going to keep going, at least for a little while.  

December 30, 2012

Sethy, Puppy Pups and his new Ninja Turtle PJs.

December 29, 2012

When Clay & I went to check on the kids last night, we found Ethan like this:

He was sharing the bump out portion of the castle with Seth.  We decided to lay him down on the mattress and he had a mark where his cheek was resting on the window.

December 28, 2012

Mags and Ethan are really enjoying their new footie jammies!

December 27, 2012

I finally got Maggie to let me french braid her hair.  

She looks great with her hair out of her eyes!

December 26, 2012

Ethan was chilling with the Kitty Girl.

I love catching him reading!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

May the joy and Peace of the season be with you...

and I hope Santa brought you what you wanted.

December 24, 2012

We were surprised with snow today.

Happy Christmas Eve! 

God Bless us everyone!

December 23, 2012

We got a new Elf door for our tree.  

Maggie said it didn't look right because it hasn't snowed yet.

December 22, 2012

The kitties enjoying the tree.  They love getting the tree skirt all full of cat hair.

December 21, 2012

Our December Meeting: Baking with Anjali, Katelyn & Maggie.

The boys were hanging out in the bungy chair while the Scouts were baking. 

December 20, 2012

When I went in to wake the boys this morning, I found all 

their 'friends' hanging out in the Portcullis. 

December 19, 2012

Time to make the Teacher gifts.

Just some tiles from Home Depot, some StazOn ink and my stamps.

Back for 30 minutes to set the ink.

After they cooled, I colored them with Sharpie Markers.

 I love Rudolph, but the snowmen are still my favorite.

I think they turned out cute and I hope the teachers do too!

December 18, 2012

Don't the boys lunches look happy today?

December 17, 2012

I am *Snow* happy you stopped by to look at my pictures today.  

December 16, 2012

Sometimes, even though it is bedtime, you need to say yes to playing a quick game of bowling.

Poor Clay has been working long hours for the last 7 days and came home at bedtime tonight hoping he wasn't too late to play Wii with the kids for a little bit.  Yep, even the Mean Mom knew that they should spend some time with Dad.

Maggie won by the way.  Clay and Seth tied and Ethan was close behind them.

December 15, 2012

The kids and I had a great time at the Neighborhood Holiday Party.

December 14, 2012

This is what Maggie saw when she went upstairs.

Thankfully, he is a boy and it is so easy to buzz his hair.

 He cut the hair that was on his forehead and his 'lucky' hair at the crown of his head.  

The funny thing is Clay asked the boys last weekend if they wanted to go get haircuts.  Evidently last weekend was too soon, but last night it needed to go.  

December 13, 2012

What is cuter than Kitty Boy by the Christmas tree?

Why my Camo boy of course!

December 12. 2012

 Maggie doing her math homework.

Um, when she saw me taking the picture she kicked the camera and it hit me in the face. 

I dare say she does not want a picture of homework time to remember it.

December 11, 2012

Our Beautiful Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday Magdalena!!!

December 10, 2012

Boothy trying to blend in with Ethan's Camo.

I think he did a pretty good job.

December 9, 2012

Gotta love the Santa Truck.  

Every year Santa, Rudolf, Frosty and the Firemen come down our street.

Guess who my favorite is?  

Frosty of Course.

December 8, 2012

Our Little Elf.

We got to March in the Holiday Parade with the Cub Scouts.

It was a lot of fun.  There was a lot of candy thrown...or should I say handed out.

December 7, 2012

Another Lego Creation.

December 6, 2012

Of all the pictures I have taken this year, this is definitely one of my favorites! 

I am not even sure how she got under there.

December 5, 2012

Sethy is so sweet...

When he is sleeping. ;)

December 4, 2012

Even Kitty Girl needs to hear a story now and then. 

December 3, 2012

Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas, just thought I'd share that with ya'll.

December 2, 2012

Family Fun at the Maryland Science Center!

December 1, 2012

Cookie Rally

This was our first Cookie Rally.  The girls seemed to enjoy it.

November 30, 2012

Snowflake Dance at school tonight.  

It was a great evening!

November 29, 2012

Bad Mommy, 

]I was thinking it was Wednesday and didn't realize Seth was supposed to be at his Den Meeting until it was 1/2 over.  Good thing we got there in enough time for Seth to put his paw print on the Den Flag and get the Den picture taken. 

November 28, 2012

Great Girls Night Out...

it always makes me think I *might* be able to dance. lol

November 27, 2012

Pouty Sethy

It took him a lot to keep his grumpy face once the camera was out!

November 26, 2012

Well, the tree has been up less than 24 hours and the first ornament casualty has occurred.

Surprisingly enough, it was the cat and not Seth.

Both boys are very sad that we lost the pickle ornament.

November 25, 2012

The first annual (?) Phillips Family Pumpkin Chunkin!

Lots of fun was had by all!

November 24, 2012

Time to put up the Christmas Lights!

November 23, 2012

Braving the crowds at the Air & Space Museum with Grandma & Grandpa Phillips.

November 22, 2012

Sethy is enjoying his new Lego's from Grandma & Grandpa Phillips.

November 21, 2012

Love it when I am not the one doing the dishes!

November 20, 2012

Ahh, reading time is so peaceful!  

They both got their new Boy's Life Magazine...too bad they don't come more often. 

November 19, 2012

Kitty girl is about a story and a half up, I am just waiting for her to fall off one day.

November 18, 2012

Maggie is learning to sew.  Sometimes it is harder to watch than to just do it.

November 17, 2012

Nothing like a tower of Lego flowers. 

November 16, 2012

Yummy, Hot Chocolate!
