Dead Man Cooking

J: I made a dead man! 
D: I keep face-bombing! (face palming)

20 minutes after they went to bed ~
J: Mom? Can we wake up now?

C: Can I have nachos for breakfast?
Me: No.
C: Why?
Me: Because nachos are not a breakfast food.
C: As long as they're served with coffee they are. Anything served with coffee is a breakfast food.

J: I don't know how to make dork stuff.

Playing Bean-boozled!  
C: Are we seeing Moana in 3D?
Me: Nah.  How'd you like the 3D in Rogue One?  Did it make you sick?
C: I loved it!  It was especially good in RPX because it had real leather seats, and it felt so good.

D: Jimmy is the color of mashed potatoes!

D: My three sushi stomachs are all empty!

J: Mom, I'm full.  Can I have candy?
D: My candy place is all empty!


(12/20) Work day for me, and Dad had the kiddos.  I took C out tonight after work to get fitted for some snowboarding gear.  He's going up with Grandma & Granddad tomorrow for a lesson.


(12/21) C lucked out and got a private, all-day lesson snowboarding!  Grandma & Granddad brought back such a tired kiddo, that he wanted to go home and go to sleep instead of joining us over at Sarah's for gingerbread cookie decorating. We had a great time making cookies ~ it's such a fun tradition!


(12/22) Work day for me.  I stayed home with the twins tonight while C and Dad went to hockey and got started wrapping.  OMGoodness... always so much!


(12/23) I had to work today, but they let us out early.  I managed to complete my shopping (huzzah!) during lunch. It snowed this afternoon, and it made shopping that much more festive.  We got a few inches, but it didn't stick to the roads, so we should all be able to get where we're going this weekend!


(12/24) Dad made Dutch Babies for us this morning and prepared a turkey feast this afternoon.  Nanan and the teenager joined us for dessert time, and then we opened a few presents.  I got the boys these ridiculous Minion slippers, which they loved, and decided were a bit creepy.


(12/25) Nanan stayed over last night and watched the kids open Santa prezzies this morning. After we said our goodbyes to Nanan, we headed over to Granddad's in our jammies.  Dad made Dutch Babies, and we enjoyed those, plus cinnamon rolls, and quiche for breakfast. Once we were properly stuffed, we opened more presents. The kids played in the hot tub, played with Play-Doh, played with toys, and with each other.  It's so fun to have cousins close in age! We took the long way home tonight and looked at lights.  It was the perfect end to our really lovely day.


(12/26) The teenager watched the twins so Dad, C, & I could go see Rogue One this morning. We loved it!  S went out to spend her babysitting money when we returned, and then we collected her and went for sushi.  We only had her until this evening, but I'm so glad she could come spend Xmas with us!


(12/27) Today we had an appointment for C, and when we returned, Sarah and I went for coffee.  She broke her wrist the other day, so a slow amble was what we did.  We watched her boys while she and her hubby watched the Coug's game.  The herd here played bean-boozled, and spun for disgusting things like spoiled milk or coconut; lawn clippings or lime; rotten eggs or buttered popcorn.  Gag!  J made a huge production out of spitting out every bean, claiming he got a toxic one.


(12/28) I woke up early today to send C off with the grandparents again to go snowboarding.  Lucky kiddo!  I put Christmas away today, which simultaneously makes me sad, yet refreshed to get it all away.

If it fits, I sits! C edition.
(12/29) Lazy day for us.  We bummed around the house until Sarah texted asking if the boys would like to go to Elevated Sportz,  We got them a 90 minute jump time, and told them to GO PLAY!  Dad made a delicious beef stew for our return.  C had hockey this evening, and I stayed home with the twins.


(12/30) Last Friday of break. *sob* C and I are going to go see Moana later, and I don't know what else we're doing.
