Love to hear what they say!

Last night I was cleaning and getting ready for Nanny, Papa and Uncle Clint's visit. Bella and Logan were getting ready for bed while Brian and Austin were at a Tiger Scouts meeting. Logan came into the bathroom where I was cleaning, all flustered. "Momma I need to pick a princess and I have two girls, but I don't know which one to choose!" I said, "Well Logan, you can't have two princesses." He said, "How about I choose you Momma. Then, you can do my chores and come sleep with me in my big bed!"

My initial interpretation was that to my three year old, all I am good for is doing the chores and sleeping.

That was too funny not to share!

Never was alive -- but still perfect

Our Christmas tree was not previously alive like Grandma and PopPop's, but the children had a fun time helping me put it together and decorate it last weekend. There was a discussion though - star or angel on the top of the tree. ... but we have a Santa Claus ???

Picking just the right one

Over Thanksgiving weekend, we visited Minnesota and Wisconsin. While we stayed with Grandma and PopPop in Wisconsin, we helped PopPop pick out the perfect Christmas Tree from their farm. Logan really enjoyed the ride, "It was really bumpy!"



Then, we came home to a winter wonderland and brought Frosty to our front yard....and one week later, he's about to be joined by 6 more inches of snow! Who said Iowa doesn't get snow???
