Let's Play House




It cracks me up every time I hear it, but mostly I think because it takes me right back to playing it myself when I was younger. 'Let's go play house and I will be the mommy and you can be the knight in shining armor.' -Emma.  Seth says, 'Can I just be the dog or the daddy instead, I get tired of being the knight and rescuing you." Classic!

sick days



A week spent watching movies, drinking juice and breathing treatments. Not so fun, but you can't crush these kids spirits! They asked everyday if we could PLEASE LEAVE THE HOUSE! This is one of those times when (I was sick as well) the world really does need to have everything in a DRIVE THRU!

Gingerbread House PARTY!




We had our special friend Lia over for a day of Gingerbread House making. But, we used a sneaky little trick, we painted wooden bird houses gingerbread brown instead of attempting with graham crackers. It worked perfectly! And the little elves enjoyed plastering as much frosting and candy onto those houses as they could fit.

Children's Hospital Mr & Mr's Claus

 Carrying in our gift we collected.
 Mr & Mrs Seth and Emma Claus with their loot!
 So proud of these little people and all of the presents and activities they collected for sick kids.
We loaded every inch of their childrens hospital wagon full!

I am so proud of these two kids, they gave and gave until they had no more! Seth & Emma were so excited to deliver their gifts this year and they knew that they were very important. The childrens hospital requested that we bring them a little early this year because they had a lot of sick kids to visit. A big huge thanks to Lynn for helping us collect & deliver and giving with her whole heart!

Choo Choooo Trains





We made special Choo Choo Train Treats for our friends, completely edible! Seth's favorite part of the process was the 'drying rack' i.e. the vent/fan which we drove our trains across after being glued together. Emma's favorite part was just making things that we can eat.
