Patrick's Christmas Band Concert

My "little" brother is in 8th grade this year (sniff, sniff). We were lucky enough to enjoy his masterful drum playing during the winter band concert.
Great job Pat!

Advent calendar

This our first year using an advent calendar. I looked at a lot of printable and buyable versions online but in the end I decided to make one.

I can't even explain how happy this sight made me. All three of them playing together!

Boo!

Free zoo day!

The infirmary

I took this photo after our family went through the worst bout of the flu any of us had ever experienced. The boys started throwing up around 10 pm and by 4 am we were literal getting up ever 10-15 mins to grab a bucket or give one. It was terrible.
We thought that food poisoning was a possibility until we discovered that we'd shared with my mother-in-law, who was kind enough to come help us during the worst of it.
So sorry Becky!

Oh to be inside that brain...

It's not what you think...

Lately Oliver has been fake sleeping when it's time to get out of the car. Mark and I get such a kick out it that I've started looking forward to it. And of you know Oliver, you know he lives to make people laugh.
His dramatic displays know no limits. This particular time mark was "threatening" to leave him on the roof of the car, but Oliver never broke character.
Amazing!

Yes please!

Seen this before?!?

My mom borrowed this costume for a Halloween Party at work and she ended up winning 2nd place!
I couldn't help but be a little proud:)
