Thanks to Grams and Papa, Evie had this oh so cute outfit to wear for the holidays! Here’s how cute my Santa Baby is:

Okay, so I almost have the Jim Carry How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie memorized. Spencer watches it once or twice a day (depending on how much I can handle it). He tells me when he’s sad, mean, or happy. He tells me that he’s “like Swiper” (the fox from Dora who steals everything).  He LOVES the movie. Thanks Mikey and Coley for letting us borrow it. 🙂

Oh, and when he’s not watching the Grinch movie, he’s watching Polar Express.

Well, Evie FINALLY got another tooth…it’s her seventh. It’s on the bottom right, in the 2nd position. It’s been a while since she had any teeth come in.

“I eat. Grow big as Cosmo”

{mommy} Okay Spencer. You’re stinky. Let’s go change your bum.

{Spencer} Nope.

{mommy} Come on. We’re changing your bum.

{Spencer} shakes his head no

{mommy} Do I need to count to three?

{Spencer} Yes.

{mommy} If I count to three, you’ll get a spanking

{Spencer}  Ok

{mommy} You want a spanking?

{Spencer} Yeah.

{mommy} Are you sure?

{Spencer} Yeah.

{mommy} Spanks Spencer on the bum a little

{Spencer}  Smiles and runs to the living to lay down for a diaper change

{mommy} Why did you want a spanking?

{Spencer} Because you love it

{mommy} I don’t love spanking. I don’t like spanking at all.

{Spencer}   laughs and gets a new diaper on.

So Evie was pretty much done with nursing anyway, but when she’d cry in the middle of the night I’d pick her up, nurse her to sleep and that meant I got to sleep. We stopped both of those Monday night. The first night Evie woke up 3 times. I went in, said “ni-ni” and left. The second night (and the worse day for me) she only woke up once. Next we’ve had 3 beautiful nights of either Evie waking up once (and made a little noise then went back to sleep) or not waking up at all (even though Spencer woke up crying that time). It’s great not having the kids join us during the night!

So, Evie made me laugh the other day. Spencer was playing in his room, Evie was under the computer desk. I was on the phone with Annette and when I was saying goodbye I realized Evie was being very quiet…too quiet for Evie. I looked down and this is what I saw! Too funny (and ignore the mess!)

Spencer is cursed with hurting his arm. He hurt his arm again last night, although he wouldn’t tell me what he was doing when it started hurting. I asked him if he wanted me to wrap his arm in a bandage and he agreed. What a sad little face!

Evie has been going down for naps much easier lately since I’ve been giving her “Teddy” to cuddle with. She got “Teddy” from Todd for her birthday. I finally got a picture of it!

Spencer has been falling asleep in weird places at nap time. I usually notice the time that nap time usually occurs but I keep forgetting that kids don’t easily adapt to Daylight Savings. He is just so silly!

Evie and Spencer got dressed up in their Halloween costumes today so I could take a few pictures. I must say…my kids are so dang cute!
