Who Needs A Toy?

Spanking Update: No one, not one person received one today!!!! Not sure about Matt's "feeling?" Maybe he will double up tomorrow?

Today was much better with school. No fits, tears, or anything. Everyone just sat down and did their work. Yeah!!!!

I did catch James playing with my water bath canner. This is an extremely popular item here at the house, which proves my theory that store-bought toys are unnecessary. I still buy them mind you, but the kids mostly play with household items or just outside.

Sorry, I couldn't get these pics to turn around, but you get the general idea. It was pretty funny to see him trying to walk around with that thing on his head. We would stand around and make sure he didn't run into something.

Sunday night we watched The Christmas Story and it was fun to cuddle up and see the kids laugh. Here is the famous Leg Lamp scene.

Also Mark's feet.

Tonight I'm going on a date with my hubby to buy the kid's Christmas presents. (Which is ironic I know considering what I wrote above). He is on his way home so I better go!
