Inner Peace or Lotus Focus… Anyway you look at it.. It’s cute!

When it’s cold and gross out like it is now, we like to do a little

Wii Fit for our homeschool PE classes.  This morning I notice

#5 doing this on the Wii Balance Board.

I’m not sure how he thought this pose was the correct

one when doing this game.. but it certainly is funny.

The point of of Lotus Focus.. is to remain perfectly still

while sitting on the balance board.  Your candle will flicker

if you move.. if you move too much your candle will go out

and you will lose.

You can do it #5.. focus..

You have a ways to go before you beat your mother at inner peace!

(Take that doubting husband.. he thinks I’m high strung.. what does he

know.. the Wii says I’m not!)

Do Bumblebee’s sleep?

I know I’ve gone over how much #5 loves Transformers.  HereHereHere… and Here..  Just in case you don’t believe me… I present to you..#5 King of the Transformers..

He sleeps with his Bumblebee helmet every night.  I think it’s funny

how it looks like Bob the Builder (on his pillowcase) is wearing the helmet.

He does this every night.. It’s pretty cute isn’t it?

I went to a Christmas Party and a Fight Broke Out..

Sunday we went to The Man’s parents house to celebrate Christmas with them.  I affectionately call my mother and father in law Ward and June Cleaver.  I’ve done this because The Man has always referred to his childhood as living the life of The Cleavers.. you know the show “Leave it to Beaver” ?

I don’t know if you can see Sam (he’s the cat with the green arrow above his head).

This photo reminds me of him being a “basement cat” from that cute site Icanhascheezburger.

The day started out great… the stockings were hung…

The men were relaxing.  That’s The Man and his baby brother.. oh and

#2’s there in the back and black.

Here’s #4 and his uncle.  They are pretty cute huh?

(oh and they both are single… 🙂 You’ll have to wait a while for #4 though)

It was a pretty normal family Christmas party.. trees, stockings, food, family.. until we got

to the presents.  Here’s #2.. nothing too weird here.

We have #4 opening is rocket ship.. This kid loves space.  He’s going to be

the first kid from our little town on the Moon.

Here’s #4 and his uncle “the punk” playing with the rocket..

Then we came to #5.. he’s been wanting one of these for a LONG time.

He loves Transformers, and this Bumblebee Voice Changer Helmet is

a perfect gift for this kid.

Here #2 and my mother in law “June” (without the pearls and heels)

watching  the festivities.

Wait.. what’s this? It looks like #4 has found something..

Could it be?  Did #5 leave the Bumblebee helmet UNATTENDED?

Holy Smokes.. #4 has been spotted with the helmet. That blur there is

#5 coming over to get his helmet back.  Can you see the Bumblebee

Transformer car he dropped on the floor?

He’s not happy…

He’s working  up to throwing a fit…

inlawxmas18Wait.. The Man busts into the room to save the day…

Peace and Order is restored and #4 gave him the helmet back.  Whew…

melt down diverted to another day.

American Girl Dolls Don’t Do What They Are Told.

Sometimes I’m amazed at what #5 does when he thinks no one is looking. He’s a really good kid with a HUGE imagination. I’m not sure where it got it from, it had to be from his father. I think The Man is holding out on me..

#3 left her American Girl doll sitting in the family room unsupervised. #5 decided

this was a perfect time to have a conversation with her. What do you think he’s saying to her?

He looks like he’s really chatting, but he was actually yelling..

“Hey! Close your eyes! Don’t look at me!”

It only got louder.. “HEY DOLL! CLOSE YOUR EYES!”

I guess if she won’t do what you tell her to.. do it for her.
