Friday Funnies: 2009 Photos

If you follow my blog you know that I post funny stories and pictures every Friday and I call it "Friday Funnies." I thought I would combine that concept with a recap of this year. I dug out some of the "blooper" pictures we took in 2009 that may not have made it to the blog before.

I will never forget the night N got ahold of a bottle of lotion..




Building forts ....Who's in the fort in this picture?? Is that Daddy??



Bowling with N's cousins when they were here for Easter. To this day every time we drive past the bowling alley N still says "That's where we went bowling with B and R and J and B and G and G...." And I always think of the Chevy Chase movie where the kid says "Look kids, it's Big Ben!"


I had an awesome time at the Pussy Cat Dolls/Britney Spears concert with my sis.....and I was three months pregnant. Ha! (P.S. That's a guy dressed like Brit)



This picture was taken at a 5K that D ran in. N and I, being the loyal fans that we are, got up early that morning and went to support Daddy in his race. N was excited to spend time at the race until it actually started and Daddy ran away from us. That was the point at which N started screaming and crying because he thought Daddy was running away from us and never coming back. There wasn't anything I could do to convince him otherwise until the race was over and all three of us were back in the car together on our way home. Needless to say, that was the last race N and I attended in 2009. Sorry Daddy!



Getting into trouble...but I just had to take a picture of it.




I cannot tell you how many times we found N sleeping on his floor this year. D and I refer to it as N's nest. N would put all of his blankets and pillows behind his door and create a nest for himself to sleep in..We'd place him in his bed before we went to bed. Come to think of it, N hasn't done this in a long time. I'm glad I got a picture of it when I did!




N got to spend lots of time with Grammy this year. She spent a lot of time at our house while I was on bed rest and she's still a big help. Thanks again, Grammy! Here they are sitting together blowing bubbles.



This was NOT funny the day it happened, but it is now. N pulled every single article of clothing out of his dresser one day during what was supposed to be nap time. I sat in his room and made him put it all away. I took a solid 40 minutes, but he's hasn't done it since.



This is a picture of N playing with the breast pump I was using at the time. N said he was using the pump to air up the tires on his toy Jeep.




N and Daddy introducing L to monster trucks.


It's been so much fun to watch D and N play in the snow. N really likes it, but I think D likes it just as much. It totally brings out the little boy in Daddy. Too cute!! Here they are making snow angels. :)



Here's to finding the fun and funny moments in 2010. Wishing you a happy healthy New Year!

Santa and Fist Bump

I was going through all our pictures from the month of December and found this funny picture. N was too scared to sit on Santa's lap, but I was able to talk him into giving him a fist bump. I'd say this Santa is pretty hip for knowing what a bump is. Ha!

Magic Reindeer Dust

Just came inside from sprinkling "magic reindeer dust" in our yard. We put oats, red and green sprinkles, red glitter and popcorn in our reindeer dust. The "recipe" we found online does not call for popcorn, but N said Santa and his reindeer like popcorn, so we put that in our dust for good measure. We're also going to leave popcorn for Santa tonight. N tried to talk me out of putting sprinkles in the reindeer dust. He claimed sprinkles only go on donuts.. Too cute!!

All week N has been looking up into our chimney to see if Santa's in there. I think N thinks Santa is going to come during the day and play with him for a playdate or something... He's been saying "We should have Santa over sometime, Mom." I keep telling him Santa comes at night while you're sleeping. I told him Santa can't stay and play because he has to get to everyone's house, but that Mommy and Daddy will play with him. I hope that will suffice. Ha!. Christmas is so much fun with a toddler around!!

Today we are getting out stockings and preparing for my sister and her hubby to stay with us.Busy day.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Santa!!

We had a great time at our moms' group Christmas play date. We even had a special guest!!! L didn't mind him, but N preferred to view him from a distance.
