December 22, 2014 School gingerbread houses, Rex Christmas concert, MJ visit.

Chloe loves being a big sister.

 Chloe has the best teacher.  She is amazing.  She taught the kids about construction.  She makes learning fun. 

 Getting the walls up.

Waiting for the "cement" to dry.  Chloe read to me. 

 I took a brake and saw Rex's preschool program.  He was a wise-man.

 That brought gold.

 Good times.  Who doesn't love a soft red nose?





Back to Chloe's school to decorate.

 Chloe's table mate Reagan.  He kept licking the frosting.


Chloe's friend liberty who is moving across the country.  This was her going away party.  They were inseparable.


 Ike and Jack

 All the kids.


 Someone loves Ike.

 We made elf vests.

 We have all had fun with our paper fun. Not all hats were created equal.


 Chloe watching elf in her elf vest.

 Turkey pot pie.


 Chloe and Rex had a conversation that went along the lines of:
Chloe: Rex, a turtleneck is hard to get off.
Rex: What?
Chloe: A turtleneck is hard to get off.
Rex:  What?
Chloe: A turtleneck is hard to get off.
Rex:  What?
Chloe: A turtleneck is hard to get off.
Rex:  What?
Chloe: A turtleneck is hard to get off.
Rex:  What?
Chloe: A turtleneck is hard to get off.
Rex:  What? 
...Etc



 Chloe and Rex with their elaborate setup.

 Chloe decided that Yikes was the next shirt we should wear. She decided a person falling should be included.


 Chloe and I went shopping.  Earlier this week she was hungry.  She continued to complain and it all came to a head when she whined, "My mind has a picture of what my belly looks like." 
There was a pause that I filled with, "Why."
Then Chloe moped loudly, "Empty!"

 Mom you should take a picture and say, "biggest skewer ever!"
-Chloe

 The hat lives on.

December 16, 2014 Family pics, swimming with pearsons

Family pics






 I love Chloe's drawings.

 It has been freezing but Rex bypassed the parents with socks and sandals.  He is a natural Pacific North Westerner.

 Swimming with the Pearsons.  We have been trying to get our fill in.

 We had skewers.  Chloe literally named hers Turkish and Piney...  Like a  turkey and pineapple skewer.

 Lunch date with Rex.



 Dri's library opening.

 Rex's BFF at the library opening.


 Chloe's friend liberty is moving away.  They made a necklace for each of them.










 Kid swap.

 Movie segregation






 Ike likes toys.  He is double fist-ing it.

Rex painted this lovely picture of symbols and potions.  He has a whole story of what color potion does induces what power or poison.
