Christmas Card Picture Session

This year I was able to get Christmas photo cards at a really good price, so after church last Sunday I coaxed Melissa into taking our picture. It's interesting what happens when you mix 2 toddlers with 2 pets! Above is the final choice, but the outtakes were too good to not share!
He has the cat in a headlock!

Yes, he's biting the tail...and Philip decided to sit on the ground

Making Rocky look at the camera...

The animals are trying to escape!

The mother of all rashes!

This is Michael's leg....and that is the rash that happened in 20 minutes! I had changed is pants just before we went to get Philip from school one afternoon....by the time it took to get back home about 20 minutes, we stopped to talk to a few people, he was walking funny and crying! I got him in the house and could smell the acid poo...he had leaked down his leg, the crazy thing is this is the only place that got angry! So I changed him and tried to put some diaper ointment on it, but he screamed like I was trying to tear his leg off! He did go down for a nap but woke up screaming! It got worse as the day went on and by the time he went to bed it looked like this! The poor mite was walking like he had ridden a horse for days! I called the dr's office the next morning and talked to a nurse she told me that it was more than likely a chemical burn and to let it air dry as much as possible and it just had to heal....we are still trying to think what this kid ate to cause that kind of poo!

Vote!

So this was the 1st year, I'm sad to say that I have ever voted...my sad excuses for not voting in the last 2 elections are...I was out of town for the 1st in 2000 and I was out of country in 2004, we didn't get our absentee papers out in time...

With that I thought it would be a good year to get out and be a good example to my children and vote! They had lots of fun with this as well, Philip had a mock election at his school and they gave him the flag for voting. Since Brother had something Michael wanted something as well, so I made the 'Vote' sign. They waved it all along the way to school as well as down the hall when we were going to get in line. They were really good for standing in line for 25 minutes.

When it was time for me to vote all I could see was the cords everywhere and so did the boys...I kept thinking...oh, great...my kids are going to unplug the things and we are going to have a big mess!! So I kept telling them to put thier hands in the pockets. We all got 'I Voted' stickers which made them happy! Hopefully they will take thier kids with them when they vote.

The Cutest Lion EVER

Michael decided that towards the photo shoot that he was going to get adorable!!!

This is him doing his best Cowardly Lion!

This one reminded me of the Lion with the thorn in his paw. He just started looking at his hand and the photographer caught it!

This was too much! You may have to visit your dentist after looking at this....

An Now Something You'll Really ENJOY!

We took the boys for a Halloween Photo Shoot last week....they make it so hard on us....ENJOY!
