You got to get up, You got to get up... It's Christmas Morning!

When we were little at my house we used to sing that song to each other every Christmas. Oh, the memories.... I felt like singing it to my kids Christmas morning. I got up at 7:00 with Jack. We sat and watched Good Morning America waiting for Max and Grant to wake up. I went into their room at 8:30 and said their names. Nothing. I thought if they're that tired I better let them sleep because I didn't want crabby boys on Christmas. Max finally came out at 8:45. He had to go wake Grant up. So much for the anticipation of Christmas keeping you awake!

Yesterday my mom told me about my brother waking up in his house to find food, paper, etc scattered all over the place. Adam has been home alone since all of his roommate have already gone home for Christmas break. Adam opened a cabinet to find a big hole that had been chewed in the wall. Apparently, an animal "broke in" to his house and made a big mess searching for food. I was relaying the story to Nate when I got off the phone with my mom. Max was listening. He said, "Was it a beaver? They are really good chewers."

This morning I was getting Grant dressed. I told him first, we had to put on his undershirt. He said, "Why do I have to wear an underwear shirt?"

Grant continues to have no interest in the potty. I explained to him that big boys use the potty, they don't poop in their pull-ups. He pointed to his pull-up and said, "This is my potty."

Bathing Beauties

The week after Thanksgiving my grandparents stayed at their time share in Bella Vista. There is an enormous bath tub there that ALL the boys enjoy. This photo may be a little alarming to some... (don't worry, I checked to make sure everything was covered) An easy way to get everyone clean with little work for me. It takes about 30 minutes to fill up the enormous tub. They must have one massive water heater.

Max came home from church a couple weeks ago telling us all about King David. He said, "David saw a girl taking a bath and he wanted her to be his wife. But she was already married so David sent her husband to war so her husband would die and he could marry her. Then they had a baby but their baby died." Speaking the truth.

That same week Grant came home telling us all about "John the Bappiss" We were reading a book and I pointed to a picture of a bunny, "What's that?"
G: John the Bappiss
S: What? That's a bunny.
G: Nope. That John the Bappiss. John the Bappiss nice. I like him.
Every conversation for the next hour was like that. Grant insisted everything we talked about was somehow related back to "John the Bappiss."

Jack didn't tell us about anything he learned. I think all they do in there is eat and play....
