Disney on Ice

We went to Disney on Ice and it was AwEsOmE to say the LEAST. We loved it!!! You should have seen all of the little girls in their dresses!  At first I was worried that it was an all girls event, but as soon as Mickey and Minnie and the clan came out on to the ice Dawson's eyes were glued after that! He doesn't like to admit it but he is such a little ROMANTIC!! 

A little romantic

Today Dawson and I played with dinosaurs. We had the dinosaurs battle each other. Once most of the dinosaurs died a horrible death by being eaten, there were two T- Rex dinosaurs left. I was ready for the next battle and all of the sudden Dawson, said... Hi whats your name, so I answered, speaking for my dinosaur. All of the sudden his dinosaur starts kissing my dinosaur on the lips. He said that my dinosaur was pregnant with an elephant and that the two T-Rex dinosaurs were going to have a baby!

WOW!

THE BEST ADOPTION POST EVER!

Even if you are not linked with adoption PLEASE read this.  This is the best explanation that I have ever read! Thanks Andee Leigh who wrote this! Here is the link to her site:

The adoption walk is coming up!

Dawson's funny

This morning Dawson and Dan were talking about their muscles. I came in and asked Dawson if he would make me some breakfast  for me.

 He said, "I'm just a kid mom".

Dan said, "Dawson I will help you okay?"

Dawson said "okay Dad, I'm going to trust you" (to help me make breakfast).

He is so literal, yet he has this really funny sense of humor. Then we were then sitting on the table discussing what we are going to do today. Dan wrote down, kiss Dawson, so Dan started giving Dawson kisses and he's sitting here giggling. Now Dawson is dictating to Dan what to put on our to do list. He said, "put down clothes, laundry, watch Wipe Out, sleep, um let me think", then he mimics Winnie the Pooh and starts tapping his forehead, ""think, think, think," and then he spouts out "Let's Have Fun!"

An update: I just got my cereal poured by Dawson, it went everywhere  but he got so much into the bowl he was so proud of himself. We gave him a high five and he's feeling pretty good about himself!

Fun with Shaving cream

A few Sunday's ago Dawson ran upstairs to go potty before we left for church... it was taking a little while so we told him that it was time to leave, he ran downstairs and said, don't worry guys I'll clean it up! As Dan loaded Dawson in the car, we both glanced at each other, so I went upstairs to see what he got into. Our house is pretty child proof but there are always possibilities. So I went into the bathroom and he had emptied Dan's entire can of shaving cream while he was "using the facilities" he also covered the vacuum with shaving cream. Why is it that when you are a mother and your child does something like this you can't get mad at them?? Of course we had him clean it up!

We are all trying to get a little stronger

For some reason every time I post a video it repeats it and won't let me erase the second one

Pears anybody?

Hmm. At least he put it back on the plate

Ha ha I love this little boy!

Dawson made this picture for his birth family who were in town last weekend

It's Christmas time!

Yesterday we ( I ) began to listen to Christmas music. I know, I know. It was still Halloween. Which we had an awesome Halloween! Dawson scored 2.8 pounds of candy. Regulation my friend regulation. We had candy for breakfast, then had a good portion of oat groats with cinnamon and banana's- YUM!

But if you are like me and you enjoy the Christmas season, I highly suggest the Josh Groban Holiday station on Pandora. 

Last year, since Halloween was on a Sunday, we did our trick or treating on Saturday. So...we put up our tree that Sunday, October 31st. I am not sure when we will get our tree up this year, soon, so very soon.

I feel like so much of the Christmas season is about commercialism. The gifts.... but its not about that at all. Yes! We still do gifts and enjoy it, but we really love starting the season early in our family because we have the  time to relish in what the holiday is really about, Christ, love and giving.  So to you our readers I wish you       Merry Christmas!!!
