Funny trrivia with the kids...

We had lunch at Pizza Hut today (buffet!). They have tubs of trivial pursuit cards on the tables which always leads to some funny Q&As with the kids...here's a partial transcription...

Sue (reading from the card): What's the unofficial title given to the wife of the President of the United States?
Ryley: Uh...Abraham Lincoln?
Josie: Yeah! Abraham Lincoln!
Doug: No, think about it, he's the President and she's the First...
Josie: Corinthian?

Sue (still reading from the card): Next Question, what's the main attraction at Yellowstone National Park?
Ryley: Oooo! I know this! Uh...it's famous...
Josie: You can do it Ryley!
Doug: It's starts with "Old"
Josie: Old Lady!
Ryley: Old Yeller!
Josie: Old Baby!

Anyway, the pizza was good, the kids were great.

Post-unwrapping fun

Sue got Josie a loom and yarn, and she loves it!

Meanwhile, the DSi has run out of batteries and has been plugged into the most convenient outlet.

Must. Not. Stop. Playing. EVER.

Tug of War + Fetch = Giggles

Christmas at 00:Dark30

Josie was the first one up this year at 04:15am. Ryley followed at 4:30am. It was Josie's first Chrsitmas getting up before her big brother and she was pretty happy about that.

Christmas 2009

Josie and her landslide of cooking stuff...

And her Emerald City Pop-up book.

Bones and his new toy from Santa.

Ry got his DSi! Guess he must've been good this year after-all!

Josie's present...

Christmas Eve After Lunch Present Opening

Hmmm...what did my brother get me?

Hey! Josie knows we pretty well!

My brother is awesome!

Sue didn't need a present, she was content with the new puppy.

Christmas Eve Morning

Watching Looney Toons Christmas specials with Bones.



The official name.

FYI we are also tarantuala sitting over Christmas.

Naptime

Bones loves to nap on the sofas which probably is a reason why he was so upset about sleeping in his crate last night. He was up and whining on and off from 11:30pm-2:30am. But, we will win the crate training war in the end.

Bones

A quiet moment...

No More Papparazzi!

Along with the new dog, we got a broken finger...unrelated to the dog though.
