For those who did not get it in the mail...

Merry Christmas

A Christmas Carol

We had a chance to go see a really good version of A Christmas Carol at the

Lesher, in Walnut Creek.

It was SO good and the kids had a blast!

Tutu was in town and got to see it with us and also Auntie Steph

skiped work to spread some X-Mas cheer with the Stockbridges.

All around great day!

Parker found his sport!!!

Parker took his first fencing class today and LOVED it.

Half way through he lifted up his mask and said

"Hey, Mom can we take this class forever?"

I nodded, knowing he meant can we take the whole course of classes, and he did that fist tight elbow back YEAH motion.

His smile after the class was better as it stretched from ear to ear and he screamed AWESOME and high fived me. I think we will return.

From Our house To Yours

Merry Christmas

From the Stockbridges

Jingle Bells will never be the same.

The Bean's is 5

Today was Cohen's 5th Birthday

We also had a great craft day with our homeschool group.

The boys did great and the group was kind enough to sing Cohen a big happy birthday song. They even found him a candle to blow out.

Besides Parker squeezing the glitter glue to hard and it EXPLODING all over us, it was a perfect day.

Cohen

My dear sweet Beans

You are determined, independent and absolutely hilarious.

As the last member of our family, you have brought more joy and laughter

than I ever thought possible.

What would I ever do without my precious snuggle bug

I LOVE YOU BEANSIES

Who gave us bad Joo Joo?

Okay FO REALS????

So, first Parker almost eats his own lip, I break my thumb and then today Cohen smacked his head on a metal corner and he had to be taken to urgent care.

They super glued his head back together in hopes they will not have to do stitches.

HOLY MACARONI! What the freckle is going on with us?

Then Parker felt so bad for Cohen he made me stop at the market to buy cucumbers. He felt Cohen really needed a spa treatment.

For some reason the second part of this blog seems a bit unfair.

Hey, what the heck?

PS Is it strange that I looked like a dear caught in headlights as I was zooming in to take this picture of Cohen's head as the doctor was coming in to check on us. He probably thought I was slightly demonic wanting to capture this moment. He obviously doesn't know me to well. EVERYTHING gets captured with a picture if you are with me.

If there is NO photo it's like it never really happened.

Well, maybe I should second guess this picture thing, right?

Fun in the City

Saturday I took the boys to play in the city.

They also partook in a cartooning class at the Cartoon Art Museum on Mission.

They LOVED it!

The Museum was running a Looney Tunes exhibit and the boys spent a fair amount of time learning the whole process of cartooning. Right up Parker's alley.

Enjoy the pics
