12 on the 12th of December

You know, I've been doing these a while, and yet, I haven't gotten tired of them. Most of my favorite pictures throughout the year come from doing the 12 on the 12th pictures- capturing random funnies and things throughout the day... give it a try and mark your calendars in the new Year!

1. Countdown to Christmas Calendar- I actually DID finish it (we missed the first few days of December, but hey, there's always next year)! Cameron loves opening these up every day, and Megan has caught onto to it also, so she's never far behind him to check out what's inside.

2. Megan chillin' in the chair watching some Sesame Street while I do some laundry- she looks so little next to the tree, and in the chair!

3. You didn't think I could go two months without having this somewhere, did you?

4. Really haven't had near enough time on computer as usual... hopped on to check email and weather.

5. Pool progress- they have the slide up, and will be covering it entirely in rock. To date, we're up to 24 tons of rock that's in the backyard so far.

6. Today is baking day. Brandy has come up to bake with me for the last few years, and Rita joined us this year. Lots of fun! I think this was about the time that we realized Brandy's popcorn mix was looking more like popcorn poo.

7. Our little helper.

8. Stephanie picked up Cameron for me, and he was so excited to play with Dylan for the afternoon!

9. Rita picked up Jensen and brought her over after school- all the bigger kids love Dylan!

10. Mud Pie for storytime- Megan is being the toot that she is so well- that's the back of Rita's head, telling Megan maybe it's not such a good idea to have a ceremic plate on your head. (yes, all the while I'm taking pictures... send your "mom of the year" awards right on over...

11. Rita and I ran to the Dollar Tree for tins for all the goodies, then through the Chick-fil-A drive through for dinner (healthy!) and came back to the house and chowed while packaging everything up.

12. Went to the children's program at the church... Chase was in it, and adorable! they had cookies for the kids after the program. About 2 minutes after eating that cookie, Cam didn't feel so good. I wonder why?? Baking day goodies, CFA for dinner, cookies at the church... hmm... it's a mystery... again, you can send all "mom of the year" awards my way... you can also check out Cam's new buzz cut in this pic! :)
