Take a guess...

...How much Charley likes this display in the park downtown?  His delirious grin should give you a clue.

As a bonus, here are a few pictures of my husband 'tebowing' at the nativity scene.  And teaching my child to do the same.

Does it seems strange to anyone else that our town hall has a nativity scene set up?  A reeeally big nativity scene?  Maybe it's just me...

Yep, we're kickin' it old school here in Po-Ho, peeps. 

p.s.  My eldest child called the shepherd in the scene 'Little Bo Peep'.  Ummm, blaspheme much, Charley?  Of course, look at his father.  Not the best holy-inducing role model.

3 #%$&@ years old

Anyone, ANYONE, who thinks that 2 is the miserable age for kids, has not met a 3 year old.  I think Sam shifted into enfant terrible mode the day he turned 3.  He's discovered tantrums, yelling, crying, shrieking and great anger in the last few months.  Do you remember when he was so, so sweet?  Sigh.

It's a good thing I have a few cute photos, so that I can look at them and remember that 3, like everything else, is just a phase.  A loud, cranky phase.

Such a tyrant.  Give me strength...

Sam gets the last laugh

This just about sums up the relationship between my two boys.  One is generally naive and one is generally naughty.

  I love you, bro!

I love you too, Sammy.

Smiling Charley doesn't realize that Sammy's got that look in his eye.

And there it is!  He asks for a kiss and pulls out the slobbery tongue at the last minute.  Despite Charley's protest, some saliva is exchanged.  Disgusting and disgraceful, I know.

Sam reacts accordingly (ie: "I'm so, so hilarious!") while Charley mops his face.  

How can you not laugh at that scene?

Kissing cousins

Ummmm....?? Really?? .... Gross. SOMEONE need to have a talk with those two.   Soon.
