Pastry chefs we are not!

But not bad for our first try! Bryce and I decorated our first gingerbread house this morning. He definitely ate more than he decorated, but we had great fun (a made a great mess!) doing it.

Big boy bedroom!

Bryce's big boy room is complete! He's had the new bed for about 6 weeks, and I finished his curtains this morning. They are Yankees pinstripes (of course) and are hung using baseball bats. He loves all things "big boy" now and refuses to have anything to do with baby stuff.

When Daddies Babysit

This belongs in one of those email strings about what happens when Dad is at home alone with the kids...

A few weeks ago, Alex picked Bryce up after school while I was still at work. He sat Bryce down to color with his markers and started unloading the dishwasher. (Yes, the dishwasher. My husband rocks!) Well, Bryce talks non-stop. Seriously, he talks all the time, and Alex admitted that he simply tuned Bryce out while unloading dishes. A few minutes later, he caught a few words of a song that Bryce was singing: "I color my foot. I color my foot."

Alex turned around and saw Bryce had his foot up on the table and was coloring his foot, just as he described in his song. Alex said "Bryce!" Well, Bryce turned around, and this is what Alex saw:

Apparently, the first verse of Bryce's song was "I color my face! I color my face!" Thank you, Crayola, for making washable markers!

Baby Kevin

I'm sure everyone knows by now that I'm pregnant - due at the end of February if you didn't. We are not finding out the sex of the baby, either. However, Bryce has decided that I am having a BOY... named KEVIN. Funny thing is, we don't know anyone named Kevin. There must be a Kevin at his school (although, not in his class).

The bad thing is that the name has stuck! We call it Baby Kevin, are working on Baby Kevin's room, etc. Bryce is going to be one disappointed and confused kid when the baby does get here... even if it's a boy, it won't be named Kevin. And if it's a girl, well, God help us.

Gigi is trying to get Bryce thinking outside the box. She always says to him, "Bryce, maybe it's a baby girl." "Would you like a baby sister?" "What are we going to name the baby if it's a girl?" etc etc. Bryce finally answered, "Gigi, it's not a girl. It's a BOY!" So, we are letting him think it's a boy named Kevin for the next few months. Who knows? Maybe he's half right!

"Me and Mommy have silver"

Bryce and Daddy had their haircut last week. When they got home, Bryce told me "Daddy has black hair. Me and Mommy have silver. But Daddy say 'No tell mommy her have silver hair!'" Too cute. Normally, I would be offended that he thinks I have silver hair, but in this case, he also thought HIS hair was silver, so I am vindicated. I can't tell you how many people (that know both Alex and I) say they can't believe Bryce is blonde. Genetics are a funny thing, my friend.

World's Worst Blogger

Yes, I admit... I'm the world's worst blogger. But, whenever I sit down to write, I get writer's block. So, today I'm going to crank out a couple of entries while I have ideas on my mind. First, the Derek Jeter Halloween costume. Can I tell you how cute his little butt was in those baseball pants?!
