BLACK Firday

Today I scored pjs for the boys and Mase and a crockpot perfect dip size. I must admit I never spend much, but Veronica and I always have so much fun watching all the crazy people. Such Fun!

Jesus

Brady found the nativity today. He made Jesus ride the donkey all around the house. Priceless.

Cookies for Santa

Cookie

Three words

SDC giant cookie.

Dadd and I put the kids to bed, stayed up and were super naughty as we polished off the rest of our SDC giant cookie. Takes me back to when we were just kids sharing a cookie back in the late 90'S. YIKES! We are getting old!

Sniff Sniff Horaay

Christmas just does not feel like Christmas until I have smelled a roll of fresh scotch tape. Really! I hope you cannot get addicted to the smell, and I hope it is not bad for you like smelling glue or paint. I could keep a roll in my pocket and sniff it if it wouldn't make me weird, but then again I am weird. Off to wrap a few presents, I just love this time of year.

Take a hike!

OHHH, I got to indulge in my favorite guilty pleasure, a hike in Arkansas. Although it was a 3 mile round trip hike with 2 little monkeys on our backs, it was so worth it. The fall colors at the crag, amazing. We even got to see and hear a rattlesnake and a waterfall. If you have never been, leave the kids at home and go and spend hours just being cut off from everything. P.s. They road is not marked, it scary to drive up, and very bumpy. But it is BEAUTIFUL! Please go take a hike.

Roll with the Punches

Today the Munier clumsy gene was in full force. I was power kickboxing and punched myself in the face. I am not kidding. I feel like such a loser.

Parade

The boys and I met daddy downtown after preschool for the Veteran's Day Parade. Uncle Dillon was carrying a flag in his Jrotc unit. It was pretty fun and I think I embarrassed him as I followed him and snapped pics the whole way. But, what are sisters for?

So Generous

We gathered up for our annual Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Daddy explained that there are many kids who have no toys and we should gather up the ones we don't play with anymore and donate them. Brady's response, "You can have this one I don't play with it, and all of Aidan's because I don't play with those either." Then Brady got kicked by Aidan. Gotta love brothers.

ZOO

Little Monkey at the Zoo, little monkey times two. We took the boys to the Houston Zoo today which is wonderful. I felt bad because Aidan is croupy sick, but begged to go. We had a good time and the boys loved petting the animals. Brady, our monkey, felt right at home.

Beach

Today we went to Galveston, the first trip to the ocean for the boys. It was beautiful. We ended up on a beach covered with dead jellyfish which was very interesting for us all. We poked many jelly fish with long sticks. We walked the shore and picked up a bucket full of assorted seashells. We spent hours playing in the sand, making sand castles and burying our feet. We watched birds run along the water. Best of all we watched the boys being chased by the waves with huge smiles. All winter in Branson I will be thinking about watching my boys play on the beach. Happy times.

Road Trip

Ahh, to be together on a road trip for 10 hours. We left for Houston, TX early in the am and decided to go through Arkansas to see the Buffalo River. It was very beautiful. Did you know that outside Little Rock there is this big mountain and beautiful lake? There is! We will be heading down there this coming summer. It was amazing how the landscape changed from fall trees in Missouri to tall beautiful green trees in Arkansas and Eastern Texas to tropical trees in Houston. I loved the trip although I heard I am thirsty and I have to pee about a million times. We got stuck in traffic in Dallas and Aidan had to pee in a bottle, but missed and peed all over me instead. Gross! Not the first time, but it was all up in my hair and on my face. Yuck!
