"Homemade" Cookies

Seamus wanted to make cookies for his friends at MaryLou's.  He did a great job putting them in neat lines and an even better job sharing them the next day with his friends.  He was so excited that everyone got a cookie AND they told him thank you!

Just look at those fancy homemade cookies!!

Christmas Tree hunting

After school on Tuesday, we got to help Grandpa get Grandma's Christmas tree.  For whatever reason, Seamus only refers to it as Grandma's tree.  Dad doesn't own much in the house if you are to ask Moose!  We hiked to the back forty at Uncle Eddie's and found the perfect tree.  When Dad went to start cutting it down, Seamus yelled to him that "those Christmas trees are VERY prickly Grandpa!!!"  Guess he learned his lesson while decorating ours.

Giving Grandpa the trimmers because Uncle Eddie slacked a little this year on shaping the trees. ;-)

Getting ready to carry it to the car. 

Christmas Party at Preschool

Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Today was Seamus's Christmas program at preschool.  Nothing like a 20 minute session of 3 to 5 year olds singing about baby Jesus.  Seamus did the hand motions for two of the songs but no singing!  He is a not a fan of the performing arts (as you can tell from the first photo) .After the singing program, he and I went to his classroom for some fun holiday activities.

Playing "Pin the Nose of the Reindeer".  And that is Mrs. Johnson, the saint that teaches  twelve 3 year olds  twice every day!

Creating his waffle cone christmas tree.

All done!

How could you not love him???

I am in love with this picture!! He is such a butthead when I ask to take his picture anymore that this is the face I get, but it is still a pretty cute face!

New topic about Grandpa

Showing off his new hair cut.

Dad has had the fun task of taking Seamus to get a haircut. The new routine seems to be, about the time Grandpa's hair needs cut, so does Moose's.  They went for haircuts on Tuesday.  This morning (Friday) on the way to the babysitter's, Seamus told me that Grandpa had a mustache cut.  And Grandpa has a beard.  And Grandpa sits in the barber shop chair that is big.  Our ride is about three-five minutes long and he was able to talk about Grandpa's barber shop experience the entire time.  He made sure that I knew Grandpa had a beard and that a beard is hair on your face.  He told me all of this as if he just noticed Grandpa's beard! Pretty good story to listen to on the way to MaryLou's.

The Morris cousins

Morris/Bly Railroad

Seamus was actually happy to be with his cousins, he was just not very happy with his mother taking yet another photo of him!  At least the girls look cute.

I just love the look on Brad's face because I know Leila's is probably just as fun!

Bath time

Rachel and Seamus taking a bath together.  Somehow I see this as a blackmail  photo in the future.
