Cookies for Santa!

We made cookies for Santa last night! Jacob loved playing in the flour and thought it was sugar so grabbed a handful and shoved it in is mouth. You should have seen his face when he realized it wasn't:) Our cookie cutters are still packed away somewhere so I went to WalMart last night and they were all sold out except for this little brass looking ones that were way to expensive, but Santa needs cookies!

Jacob did a great job cutting them out since we use cookie cutters with playdoh. I frosted and he decorated! Papa and Nana came over for dinner and helped Jacob decorate. Of course I think Jake ate more than he decorated, but Santa is in for a sweet treat on Christmas Eve!

Speaking of, I am no where near done wrapping yet. I can't believe I'm so far behind this year!!! I can't wait to see their little faces on Christmas morning! So worth it!

Snow day!

We got a bunch of snow last night so after breakfast I asked Jacob if he wanted to go play on the back deck and he started jumping and running around! So we got all bundled up and went out back. I swear, I have never seen a child more in love with snow! He was making snow angels, eating it and just throwing it all up in the air. Logan had a love/hate relationship with the snow. He sat there and played with it until a tiny speck got on his face. We played for a little while and came inside where I gave Jacob his first cup of hot chocolate! He LOVED it!

I'm also happy to say that we have been accident free today and he has gone pee on his potty all day!

We have a busy weekend coming up! We have a birthday party and then 2 different Christmas parties! Can't wait to see the boys open presents this week!! Stay tuned!!

Olive you!

My son's new love.....



Olives!!! I tried to buy them cut up, but he refuses to eat them. They have to be the whole ones so he can put his fingers in them and then eat them! He could eat a whole can if I let him, although I don't think his belly would like that. He said to me today while eating them " "Mommy, I love Olive". It sounded so funny.

My kids are both asleep finally and I'm going to go catch up on some me time:)

Let it snow!

It snowed like crazy on Saturday so when we got home from our Holiday party I let Jacob play out in the snow while daddy shoveled the driveway and sidewalks. We got Jacob a mini shovel so he could help daddy and after about 45 minutes of him playing outside and making snow angels , he started to help daddy shovel the snow. When I went out to see if he wanted to come inside he said "NO mommy, Jacob is shobeling the snow!"

I have some big news! Logan hit 3 milestones yesterday! He said "mama" finally!! He also stood up all by himself without holding on to anything and he walked across the entire living room all by himself!! Again, I would be super surprised if he wasn't full on walking by Christmas!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Holidays

I just love everything about the holidays, except one thing: I hate the cooties!!! I feel like we have been bouncing cooties back and forth since October. I have another head cold and it sucks bad. Mommy wants a sick day!!

We had a great weekend! We had our annual Toledo Parents Christmas party and it was a bunch of fun! Jacob had a blast running around with the kids and Logan loved watching all the big kids play.

We also had our pictures done with one of the girls in our mommy group. She did such an amazing job and I can't wait to do them again with her!

Logan is walking so much. I would be surprised if he's not walking by Christmas. He has 6 teeth now and is slowly starting to eat solids. He'll try bites here and there.

Jacob...oh my Jacob. We are entering the complicated age now. Jacob has such a little imagination. He won't sleep on his own anymore because he says that there are robots and spiders in his room. He also says that there is "shoop" out the window. We haven't figured out what it means yet, but until he gets over this, daddy has been sleeping with him. He loves Christmas and asks to go see Christmas light everyday. Every morning he wakes up and says "Almost Christmas time" He is such a little ham anymore:)

Stay tuned...we have family coming in this weekend and we'll be sure to take tons of pictures!

Catch up

It's been so crazy around here I forgot to update my blog;) Let's start with Thanksgiving. We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. Jacob and I made turkey cupcakes on Thanksgiving Eve. Jacob had a blast with the sprinkles and suprisingly barely ate any of the cupcakes as he was decorating. I gave Logan a plain cupcake in hopes that he would eat it, but he just threw it at me. Seriously, who doesn't love cupcakes??

We had my family over for Thanksgiving and I was in charge of all of the sides and desserts. They were all so yummy and my Tiramsu Trifle was everyones favorite!! I definetly will make that again!

Jacob and Logan both had a blast putting our Christmas Tree up. Logan was more interested in eating the ornaments (go figure) and Jacob put every ornament that we handed him on the same branch:) We had to gate off our entire tree because Logan was trying to pull it down before we even had it half up.

What's new with the boys? Well Logan is almost walking. He'll take a few steps and then fall. The other day he took 2 steps and then stopped and took 2 again! I wonder if he will be walking by Christmas?? How exciting for him, but poor Jake has no idea what is coming his way when Logan can walk:)

Jacob has been a handful the past week. He has been fighting with naps and bedtime. As soon as we lay him down, he gets back up and opens the door. It's getting really annoying and I feel like I'm a step away from losing my cool so if anyone has any advice for me that would be great.
