Watered Down

Overcome with all the hustle and bustle of the holidays we decided to take some time and go play in the water! Little Man espcially enjoyed the chance to hang with some of his cousins.

But enough chit chat... let's get to the action shots. Look at these pictures carefully and see if you notice any differences between the way mommy plays versus the way daddy plays. The differences are subtle, so pay close attention.

"Now you be careful, and always make sure someone is watching you. And remember no splashing, it's not becoming of little gentleman"

"Look mom, no hands!"

"If you get tired or nauseous then you come to me right away. There's always room on mommy's lap." "Hey, let's see if we can get one of you to do a triple back flip!"

" Watch out for other people's kids... they have germs"

"You'll never take me alive Cop-per!"

" This reminds me of a nice relaxing day at the spa. Maybe we should get our toenails painted afterwards" "He sunk my battleship... everyone run for cover!"

"Hmmm... I wonder what I should have for lunch... a small salad or a slightly medium-sized salad?"

"In your face sucka!"

Baby Got Back

"Hey everyone, hope your Christmas Season is going well. I have been super-duper busy getting everything ready for the big day. But finally, the stockings are hung, the goodies are baked, the tree and house are decorated, we've watched Elf 3 times, and even gone Christmas caroling... so that only leaves one thing left: I've got to make sure I give a good first impression when I meet the Jolly Red Fat Guy. I've been trying to decide on the best way to do that, without seeming desperate. I want to make sure I get the maximum amount of toys, cause that's what Christmas is all about, right? So anyways, I was thinking of wearing my Candy-Cane striped pants on Christmas Eve, to help me achieve the maximum toy effect. But I do have one concern, perhaps you can help me with...

Do these pants make my butt look fat???"

Gotta Love The Drifters

'Twas The Night B'Fore Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all thru the pad,

not a creature was stirring, especially not dad.

The stockings were hung by size on the wall,

with mommy's the biggest and Little Man's quite small.

Connor was sleeping all snug in his crib,

with leftovers from dinner still stuck in his bib.

And mom in her jamies, and dad in his bedroom shoes,

Had just settled down for a long winter's snooze.

When out on the roof there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window and thru the last door,

I stubbed my poor toe from Connor's toys on the floor.

The moon shone brightly on the new fallen snow,

while the cold Davenport wind continued to blow.

I threw open the window (more utilities to pay),

and saw eight reindeer and a shiny red sleigh.

With a fat, jolly man so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

Faster than a speeding bullet his reindeer they came,

built like 8 Clydesdales, only with antlers and no mane.

"Now Flirty, now Birdy, now Dirty and Nerdy,

On Sturdy, on Turdy, on Wordy and Vinny Testaverde

To the top of the Wal-Mart and onto the mall,

Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"

Then all of the sudden I heard on the roof,

the banging and clanging of each massive hoof.

I wrinkled my brow, my eyesight got hazy,

and I started to think that I might be crazy.

Down the chimney he came in one large plop,

and knocked o'er his cookies and even the mop.

He was dressed in red velvet from his head to his foot,

Armani, Versace, and not an ounce of soot.

A bag full of toys hung on his back,

and he nibbled his cookies for a good night's snack.

A snowy white beard touched his ample round gut,

he looked like an O-lineman with a huge jolly butt.

"Don't tell Mrs. Claus about these cookies," he mumbled,

"If she catches me again I'm sure to get pummeled.

My cholesterol's 340, my blood pressure 205,

but hey, I'm over 500 and I'm still alive!

She makes me eat carrots, celery and string beans,

Boy, for an old lady she sure can be mean.

But alas, the dawn breaks, my time is soon gone,

besides my reindeer have eaten your lawn.

Remember this evening as a Chrsitmas delight,

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Soon the season will pass, so enjoy all the sights

of presents and family and Christmas tree lights.

Sit back, take a moment and sip on some nog,

And tell all your friends about this holiday blog!

Snow, Snow, Snow, SNOW!!!

"Hey everybody, grab your coats cuz it's snowing outside!!! I've been stuck in the house all day long just waiting my time to have some fun. I just gotta convince mom to let me go. Mom, can I go outside yet???How about now??

OK, How about now??

And then finally redemption came my way...

W00000000000-H00000000000!!!!!!!"

What's Christmas Without a Rabbit Fur Bomber Hat???

"Hmmmmmmmmm... I wonder what the date is today??

Wait a minute, it's already December... That means Christmas is already on it's way!

Uh-oh, I hope Santa doesn't find out about the noodle incident... I promise I had nothing to do with it.
Maybe if I just smile big and give Santa the big googly-eyes then he'll forget about everything else and bring me lots of presents!!"
