I Want an Electric Guitar

DG has been asking for an electric guitar for months. Hoping that Santa would bring him one for him. We've been encouraging him to keep practicing on his electric guitar.

Today he told me he will keep practicing on his acoustic with songs he knows so that he can get his electric guitar soon!

Enjoy:

The Force

DG just got out of the shower and asked me to smell his breath. He said he washed it really well and said it didn't taste bad it was just bubbly like pop.

DG: While eating peanut m&ms informed us the peanuts are hibernating.

DG at school: told all his teachers that they could call him Darth if they wanted to

DG informed Ms JoJo that when he grows up he was going to buy a motorcycle, he said it was expensive so mom & dad can't buy it for me.

VW: I would go to sleep if my voice would turn off.

DG: Next Halloween I'm gonna be a stranger, with a gun & motorcycle you know a stranger!

DGs prayer: that all the dead people will be alive 

DG: Mommy do my eyes melt your heart! Yes. Then you should just be my mommy & not the tickle monster!  

VW after getting 4 inches of rain & swerving around puddles of water across the road. VW everything will be ok God said he wouldn't send another flood 

VW: easy peasy just like that.

VW: my brain just doesn't work 

DG: At D6 this week, the skit of the clubhouse was teaching about self-control. One character had an abacus to help another character with her budget. After the skit, DG adamantly informs me, "Mom, mom, I want that" "What bubba?" "The budget, mom!" [I think he means the abacus]

DG I am the leader. Somebody's got to be the leader. And you never give up! (Comment during his pretend bike competition) cuz I'm in the Lords army. Yes sir

VW: Hugest one yet

I'm making Saturday morning breakfast, when I hear from the top of the stairs- DG: mom you know what? God built the world with hands. No nails!

DG is showing me the force...he sat down Indian style, grasped his hands across his chest, closed his eyes & asked me if he was floating! He learned how to do it while in NY. He drove there on his motorcycle! [you rise higher the closer you are to the fire]

What's That...?

It's winter time and that often means Daddy puts some extra hours in at work on Saturdays. Today the boys got the opportunity to check-out one of the re-pump stations. 

This is one of Daddy's panels...it talks to the central office to make sure everything is running correctly.

The boys asked question after question...what is that...

This is one of the water pipes coming into this station...the pipe by DGs foot is the size of the pipe that would come into your home.

Another panel with circuit training occurring here...

Sneaking behind the panel to find...

a lot of wires!!

The pulley and hook system was very intriguing to the boys, so curious how that all worked to lift the caps off the pipes for maintenance.

What a great visit to one of Daddy's many "offices". It was our own many field trip with amazing lessons! Thanks Daddy for working so hard for our family!

I Pooped!

The snow finally came on Christmas Eve. It was the beautiful, dreamy, fluffy flakes of a picturesque snowfall. We were able to get our first snowman of the season built the day after Christmas as the snow was melting quickly!

Then today it was time to head to the "sloops" and get some sledding in! 

We marched up to the top the hill, put down the sled, told DG to get on and off he went...turning in a circle, speeding down the hill, and flipping over. We cheered from the top as we loaded up VW and pushed him down! VW sped down fast, turned around backwards and somersaulted! Whew! Repeat! It was a blast! 

The screams and giggles from the boys was priceless. We continued the adventure until our legs had no more climbing in us!

DG had to stop on the way to our van to make a snow angel.

As we removed each layer of clothing at home to warm up with hot chocolate, VW excitedly, yet exhausted, exclaimed "I pooped!" We all just laughed and laughed...we hope you mean "I AM pooped!"
