my family

we made homemade brownies last night, and this is Parker's favorite part! he has flour all over his shirt b/c he blew into a bowl of it and it got everywhere.

poor little Conner is not feeling too good, he has a runny nose and a cough, hopefully it will pass soon.

this is the cutest thing ever! it's called 'the elf on the shelf', and it's Santa's helper, he watches over the kids and every night he returns to the north pole to tell Santa if you've been naughty or nice, and every morning he comes back, but to a different spot in the house. Parker said, 'but i don't want him to watch me.'
