Christmas Card

We somehow got a picture of all five of us in the same place, at the same time, with no one crying, and we're kind of all looking at the camera. This is an amazing feat. So I'm trying to be organized and get some Christmas cards done. Here's a little preview. Anyone know what the quote on the card is from?? It's a movie I was obsessed with and watched over and over and over when I was little :) I'm trying to force the boys to also be into it, but so far no luck.

Heart To Heart Christmas Card

Creating Christmas cards has never been this easy.

Convos with the Kiddos

On our walk on Main St. yesterday:

Charley: What's a girl with no head called?
me: (very disturbed) Ummmmm, I don't know...

5 minutes later...
Charley: Mom!  What's a girl with no head called?
me: ...(thinking I'm raising a serial killer and maybe if I don't answer him he will stop being a weirdo)

1 minute after that...
Charley: (very frustratedly points to a shop window) MOM!  WHAT ARE THOSE GIRLS WITH CLOTHES AND NO HEADS CALLED !?!?
me: OH! Oh, those are called mannequins.  (phew!)

Doing watercolors with the boys while it was raining today:
Miles is trying to paint his hands and arms.
me: No, you paint on the paper Miles.  And when you want a new color you rinse your brush off in the  water like this...
Miles picks up the cup of dirty brown paint water
Miles: I drink this.
me: NO! No Miles, that is dirty water.  Gross!
Miles: I drink this.
me: NO! NO! Disgusting!  I'll get you a glass of clean water to drink okay?
( I turn around to get a sippy cup out of the cupboard and when i turn back around I see Miles trying to sneak a sip of the nasty paint water...)

My boys

We escaped to Cayucos for a bit.  Here's all the boys on our morning walk :)
