Random Pictures

Today was Masons's first day back to school.  He was pretty excited.  This was the first year we had to deal with him being out of school when John and I both worked.  It is either find a family member to watch him...or basically you are paying double for childcare (bc that money is still coming out of your bank account whether they are in school or not!).  We were fortunate this year because my mom was off work in between Christmas and New Years.  We only had to use Mrs. Pat twice for Mason.

He had a BLAST with his Mickey Mouse.  They stayed in their jammies on the day that is snowed, got to eat lunch out, and even went to Build-A-Bear.  I think what probably made it so special for Mason was that Brody was still at Pat's house so he was getting one on one time.  We also still have to pay if we don't use Pat when expected to, so Brody went those couple of days.

Here is Mason walking out with his stuffed animal.  He actually made a tiger and he named him Zach...he sports a spiderman outfit.  Zach now sleeps with Mason every night.

We have done a lot of playing the last couple of weeks.  We have played with alllllll off our Christmas toys.  All Mason ever said he wanted was Angry Birds and he was right.  We take the game everywhere with us!

This picture is just from the phone and not very clear but Mason was using Brody's fingers to play Angry Birds on the IPad.  Brody didn't know what to think.

This little guy has even gotten some use out of his stuff.  We don't have any teeth yet, but he is pretty good at chewing on his fingers.  So we are hoping he would rather chew on this new Sophie.

Mason put on his Spiderman Suit one day...it speaks for itself.  =)

John put together the scooter.  Lets just say, it wasn't in only a couple of pieces...

Here is his Angry Birds set up.  I actually like playing the game.

John and Mason getting ready to launch the birds.  Look at the excitement in his little face.

Family game time of Hungry Hungry Hippos.  One of my all-time favorite games.  I will say, Mason is unbelievably competitive and cheats when needed...

John and I might burn this thing out before next Christmas...it is just awesome.

And what goes good with coffee and hot chocolate????  powdered sugar donuts!

That is all for my random post.  John and I are off to Birmingham tomorrow for a quick 24 hour trip!
