Claras gonna kick your butt.

Last night Devlin was playing with Aidan and Clara by pretending to
swing something at them. Aidan warned Devlin:

Aidan: You'd better stop or Clara's gonna kick your butt.
Devlin: Oh yeah, how's she gonna do that?
Aidan: Because boys can't hit girls!

Football!

Here are some pictures of Brandon's
first football game of the winter season...finally. The league has
delayed games for two weekends already.

Brandon did great. Thank goodness he wore his blue socks - we were
easily able to find him in the crowd of kids :) We might have to get
him some new ones though before next game that actually come up to his
knee.

The team did great. We got beat but the kids had fun and learned a lot
about how the game is played. It's a lot different than practice !

Football Madness - in the stands

A group was selling candy, drinks and snacks at the football game as a fundraiser. The kids had already dragged us (me, james, grandparents) to the table numerous times. I finally broke down and bought cinnamon rolls for Aidan and Clara. Later that game, Clara took Nana to the table and wanted to get some candy. Nana told her that she didn’t have any money and that she needed to ask momma. (thanks mom).

Clara came to me in the stands, held out her hand and said “I need money.” James immediately reached in his pocket and handed her all the cash he had on him - $53!

Somehow I don’t think that’ll be the last time I hear that and we definitely have to start working on James’ self control.

Some pictures of the kids from the stands:

Miss Independent

Clara continues to develop into an extremely independent little girl. She has mastered the use of the words stop, no, and go ‘way as well as the proper use of the hands to make a “stop” motion with one or both hands.

She doesn’t mean anything personal by it… she still loves you, even when she tells you to go away. J

And it’s all worth it to see her face when she says “I did it!”

aidan-isms continued

Aidan says “incense” instead of “except” as in:

“You can use anything incense that one.”

Bed head twins.

We don't do mornings around here...
