Early visitor

So Mark and I decided very last minute that Santa was coming today. We were so excited to give Ethan's present to him (oh wait, Santa was excited not us) and wanted him to have a few days to play with it before we left town.

Since it was so last minute, I was too lazy to make cookies so Santa had to settle for an ice cream bar.

Mark stayed home a little later so he could see Ethan's face when he saw it.

A grocery store! He loves it! I have a feeling we won't be leaving the house for a while... if we do, I'm sure it will be a big struggle from him.

Concentrating... yes, scanning that banana is VERY hard work.

Eliza has had fun buying and checking out groceries too. Ethan loves to include her in his play.

mary said...: That is so fun! I totally feel the same way -- once I have all the gifts, I'm ready for Santa to come RIGHT THEN. It is taking all my self-control to wait until Sunday. (Which is still too early for Christmas, but we don't want to haul everything to Utah!) What a fun present. He will LOVE it, and so will Eliza!; 8:03 PM

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
