Update

Well, these are from as early as November 19th. And YES, our kids play in the sprinklers that late here! Though as you can tell, they weren't supposed to (fully dressed). 

Here's Jake's preschool Thanksgiving Feast. He didn't like real turkey or pumpkin pie. Alisa really liked the rolls.

Jake is a budding photographer... I left out the indecent ones.

We went to DL while it was still warm (it's a little cold here now) and got to see real reindeer and Santa--from a distance. 

What happens when Jonas and Jake are left alone for 2 minutes?

At Jonas' house, they found the knives and stashed them under the carpet to kill the bad guys while Melinda was in the shower. Nice. That's why my knives are on top of the fridge. At my house, they strip down and run around screaming "Nakie Jakey!" Classic. 

 

We had a busy weekend. A friend Christmas party (pictures to follow), a ward country Christmas party (complete with fried chicken!) and the Stake Musical fireside, where Scott sang a fantastic solo! 

When we got back Sunday night, Alisa found and pulled out the potty from the closet and tried to unbutton her clothes. I stripped her down and she immediately sat, touched her bottom, and went pee-pee! I was amazed! So, 12/21/08 was her official first pee-pee on the potty. She has really been into potty lately. She usually just climbs around on it, though.

Alisa in a pretty dress I got for her last year (gotta love Target clearance! $4). What a sweetie!

This is how we cleaned the house on Saturday... all day. Thank goodness boards exams are over! I have my cleaning partner back! Yea! Jake painted the nativity (thanks, Grandma Seaman) and Alisa dipped the paint brush in water.

Here's another time on the potty. Alisa's thrilled. This is how Jake learned (backwards) because he felt secure and not like he was about to fall in. I'd recommend it if your babe is scared of falling.

Dancing. They are hilarious sometimes. Alisa is shirtless because we ate red sauce that night.
