The Grinch and Popcorn

I love to watch movies on cold winter nights. We decided to watch the Grinch (not the scary one).

We always have to have treat on movie night. My grandma had this old popcorn popper so we thought it would be fun to pop some.

Lincoln could not wait.

Talan and I with our bowls ready to be filled.

The first kernels flying.

The boys had so much fun catching the popcorn. Lincoln just laughed.

Talan trying to catching the popcorn before it hit the floor.

Lincoln ate so much popcorn I though he would get sick.

Talan's cup was so full. I don't think he ate any of it.

After eating all we could. Talan decided to start a popcorn war.

He was covered from head to toe in popcorn.

It turned out to be a huge mess, but the boys loved every moment of it.

Lincoln screaming he was having so much fun.

Cleaning up after the war. Good thing Talan is always begging to vacuum.

Such big helpers.

Letters to Santa

Since Christmas is getting close, we thought that we better get busy and send Santa our letters.

Talan is such a good big brother, he did a letter for Lincoln. He wanted to make sure that Santa would bring something for his little brother.

Talan drew the picture of what he wanted Santa to bring him. He wants a Shaky Bridge Thomas Set and a Ramon's Paint Shop.

Lincoln cried the whole time we were trying to write our letter's. Santa might not bring the blanket and Christmas tree for his room that he asked for, he may end up with a lump of Cole.

After a bath and something to eat. Lincoln was in a better mood.

The letters that we sent to Santa. Hopefully he will write us back.

Christmas Countdown

Cutting strips of paper so we can make our count down chain.

Talan loves to use the paper trimmer, so I have to hide it or else he will shred any paper he can find.

Stapling the strips together. They have been practicing patterns in his preschool class so this was a great activity to practice patterns.

25 Days and counting.

He wanted to hang it in his room. So that he would remember to cut one off everyday.

Lincoln is thinking of all the ways that he can destroy the chain when no one is looking.

 

I always remebering making paper chains at Christmas time when I was little, so I thought that Talan would have fun counting down the days until Christmas. We had fun making it and by the next morning I already had to fix what Lincoln had pulled off. I guess he just wants to have Christmas arrive early.
