Coop Skywalker and Darth Davis

Let's take a little break from Christmas posts to let me show you what transpired last night in our living room. First, let me set it up. Jamie needed to change his T-shirt after squirting an amazing amount of ketchup on it. How a 37 almost 38 year old does that is beyond me (and him for that matter)! So he comes back with his Superman shirt I made him for Halloween on. He starts to hum the theme to Superman and stops and says "No, wait that was Star Wars. How does Superman go?" So I go to ITunes and find it. Then I searched for Star Wars. After we downloaded it and played it a few times, Cooper emerges with their two "lightsavers" and the epic battle began. Let me say this, they were not doing this FOR the camera. We got the camera out after the first battle. There were three total battles. This is just a normal evening after supper for us. The part we think is so funny was when Darth Davis was wounded and wimpered off to the chair to nurse his wound. As the music picks up speed, he seems to overcome his pain and jumps back into battle. These boys crack me up!! Davis has some serious method acting going on....Now, sit back and enjoy the Epic Battle of Coop Skywalker and Darth Davis..

The first of 4 Christmases..
This was at Jamie's sister's house.
Davis was ready and waiting....

Couldn't you just eat her up?

Finally!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We did!! We also took LOTS of pics. So, for the next several posts you will still be seeig Christmas stuff!!! Rubye Ann loved the tree. She was always wanting to go look at it.

She wasn't so sure about the whole "opening presents" thing....

But she was totally ok with it once she realized there was a cool toy.....

Merry Christmas!!

Can't froget the cookies for Santa......

Yum!!

Our final project.....Christmas lights!!

They wanted them in their doors to their rooms..
We are very excited this morning.....SANTA comes T-O-N-I-G-H-T!!! We're off to the clinic...Cooper ran fever yesterday and Davis is workin' on a sinus infection!!
Wouldn't be Christmas if we were all actually HEALTHY around here!!!! HA!!

On Friday we also constructed little christmas trees...

...and gingerbread houses. We made these out of milk cartons and felt.

We put it all in the window for our display. Soon after this we took Rubye Ann to the ER for a high fever. We were home shortly after...she ended up fine. Friday was quite the busy day.
I guess you can see...I like to make stuff. Always have. When I was a kid I'd beg to go to camp in the summer. Then I'd get homesick and spend just about the whole time crying (yeah, I was THAT kid). The only time at camp when I wasn't crying, was at arts n crafts. Heh.

Here's what we did on Friday...

Ain't that the truth??
It's no fun to be stuck home with a sick baby. It's even less fun when said baby just had a hit of Predisone and a breathing treatment. H-Y-P-E-R! I decided to follow her around and let her do her thing...

I've always called Davis my Hurricane.....I think I may have another.....

NOTE TO JENNIFER F:
If you are reading this stop now....B and T are going to fuss!!
PROJECT TIME!!!
We made candy cane ornaments yesterday.
Yes it was 2:30 in the afternoon and YES my children were still in their jammies..;)
Big D has got some serious concentration going on...

TA-DA!

"Mommy, two candy canes make a heart!"

Well, we're better. Here's what we do about 3 or 4 times a day...usually we are only able to get 3 times in...

I was unloading the dishwasher last night and I found this.... does that look odd to you? It's a wonder I don't have red marker on everything. Then again, it is the washable kind....HA HA Wonder who put it there?

My little "helper".

Nothing cute or funny today. Been in the clinic all morning. Rubye Ann has RSV and croup.

Be back when she is better....

FOUND!!!!!!!!!!

Someone found them yesterday and kept them for us. More on the story later! Goin' to get them soon!!!

No joke. No funny story this time. We realized it about 7 pm last night. Jamie spent about 2 hours hanging the signs up. I'll call animal control and go by the vet offices today to give them the signs and call the paper. I hope they are ok wherever they are...

This was supposed to be what today's post was to be about....
It was supposed to start like this...Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right to Community Trust Bank...."

Rubye Ann did great.....she sat in Santa's lap and looked at me...Cooper wasted no time in telling the Big Guy what he wanted. Davis was more interested in the candy cane. As you can see, as soon as Santa put Rubye Ann on the floor, she wasted no time in coming to me!!

"He's a neat guy Mama...but no thanks!"

If you see our dogs, please bring them home.
