Pictures with Santa

I wasn't really sure how Santa pictures would go this year since Lucas for sure didn't like it last year. Well I think this year was worse.. There is a little town over near us called Old Town Springs and every year they have a Santa booth. $2 bucks if you use your own camera or $5 if they take one for you. Can't beat that deal and the people are very nice. Lucas was ok until he saw Santa up close and then he hit the roof.

He started clinging..

And seconds later..

He wouldn't even sit in Jason's lap to take one picture...so this was the best that we got. Merry Christmas!

Catch up post!

I didn't realize until today that I haven't updated the blog in several months. So here goes a few in one post... Lucas a while ago learned how to pedal with his feet. He's had the trike since he was 2, but would only use his feet to scoot him around. Zachary learned how to ride a bike with training wheels at 3 so I was pretty sure Lucas would too. So I guess we need to get Zachary's old bike dusted off and see what Lucas will do then..

We (as in my mother =) painted the baby's room a nautical blue color. We just don't know how to do pastel-y colors I guess. I really feel behind with getting Wesley's room done compared to the other 2, but I still got 2 1/2 months (eek!). I let Lucas 'help' prime the room since we needed to cover up the bright orange. Zachary was at school which saved us a lot of interruptions. Finished product..

This is pretty much what Lucas was doing while the painting went on...

Lucas' painted these balloons

This is what he looked like after stage 1...I forgot to get a picture of what he looked like after the other stages...he was a mess!

Ship Ahoy!

 In other news, Zachary has finally lost a tooth! He's had teeth since he was 3 months old so I thought they would come out before now, but I guess not. He will probably loose them in clusters...

Can you see the excitement?!

Luckily I had the foresight to make the 'Tooth Marshall' pillow before it fell out. I never liked the idea of trying to get it out from under the pillow knowing he would pop up the moment the door opened. So found this tutorial to make this and thought oh yeah. He hung it on the outside on the door knob. The pocket is the mouth on the T.M. and it worked fabulously.
