Mr. Funny

Britt is quite the entertainer... when he's not saying something funny, he's doing something funny. A few recent examples:
He's re-discovered candy canes (thanks to clever Christmas candy displays at all the stores) so after a little convincing, he talked Grandma Tara into taking him to get some. (I promised I would get him some, but not until we have our Christmas tree, and he couldn't wait that long...) Anyway, once he got them home, he realized there was no where to hang them... well, no tree at least. Every knob or drawer-pull in our house now has a festive decoration... :)


Onto today...
After finding an ACE bandage in Grandpa's first aid gear, he wants to have his arm wrapped and put into a sling at least once a day. (I really hope this isn't foreshadowing...) After a while of "one-armed" play this morning, I noticed his arm was out of the sling and asked if he was ready to take it off... his reply was...

"No way, don't touch it! My baby's in there... he's eating right now."

He was being modest, but if you look closely you can see his "baby" Muno...

A few other funnies from this week:
* A few nights ago Britt was getting ready for a bath, and as he undressed he hollered, "It's gonna be naked in heeeeere!"
* After Britt and I had a talk about why we need to wear seat belts (to keep us safe and so we won't get pulled over) he told Justin, "Daddy, we hafta wear seat belts or a cop-man's gonna tip our car over!" {I guess we need to re-expain the concept of 'pull us over...'}
* He also told Justin the following story, "I gonna get bigger, my teef gonna fall out, I put it under my poe-low-low {pillow} and the toof berry gonna give me some money! Then I getta go buy a cowboy hat...and grow some new teef!"

Hmmm...I never realized how much Justin probably wonders what the heck I teach Britt all day. :)

Britt's First Family Portrait

Last night Britt was drawing everyone in the family {side note: he said since there are so many people in our family, he only had room to make everyone's hair, eyes, legs, and shoes...} but I must be special, he added a little more to his drawing of me...

Can you guess which one I am?? :)

Practice, practice, practice...

Britt's always willing to "practice" holding baby Emelyn... He'll be a pro by the time his baby sister gets here!


Every time he holds her he has to touch her cheeks, kiss her head, and hold her hand. If she's wearing something that covers her feet, he has to take her feet out so he can look at them. He says, "I love her tiny feet!" :)
Just over 3 months to go...

Prepare to be scared!

Here's our inspiration...

Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy!


...and our finished product!

I am SO glad to have an artistic husband! Justin made Britt's costume this year (and painted his face)... sure I'm biased, but didn't he do a great job?!




An guesses on what Jordan and Kait were for Halloween??


Ellee's expression is priceless! Britt kept telling her, "It's just me, Ellee!"


Nothing says "spooky" like a black cat! {this one's my brother's little guy, Gremlin}


The crazy thing about this is... we went to less than 10 houses!


Britt had fun washing his face, and we realized how well a 'Joker' costume would have worked on the little guy... although, we saw about 15 jokers last night...


This is one happy (and very sleepy) boy... he's already deciding what to be next Halloween. :)

It's almost Halloween...

...and that means it's time to:

make a scary costume...

pick a few pumpkins...


sorry Kiri, we just had to borrow this pose :)

practice your scary faces...



and eat lots of this....

while watching this...

and this...


Hope you're all having as much fun getting ready for Halloween as we are!

p.s. the video is a scene from "Freaks and Geeks" (one of the best TV shows of all time). It gets particularly great right after the 1 minute mark...
