don't judge me

So I went home to decorate cookies with the kids over lunch (INSANE IDEA by the way) and this is what the boys made:

FULL DISCLOSURE: 'Cause I said, "don't make any yellow santas!" My fault, really. This is probably like the wedgies at school, and subsequent behavior slip for LIttle E. Again, caused by me and my sick sense of humor.

SIDE NOTE: It's FREEZING! What on earth are you supposed to do with kids who've barely been outside in a week? If you live with me, you FEED THEM SUGAR. Things are sure to turn out fine.

IMAGE 2: The sideways shot of Colton, Ab, Little E and Little E's friend who pretty much lives at our house these days anyway. As long as he helps clean up, I'm good with it. Ab, on the other hand, IS NOT good with it.

Tried to get a shot of Ab with her cool head scarf - I LOVE scarves and she's inheriting it - but she was too busy whining about all the boys in the house. As punishment I'm blogging about it. She'll learn someday.

HER: "Why can't we just have family time?"

(does that kid know her buzz phrases or what)

ME: "You want me to kick him out just because you want to only do cookies with your brothers?"

HER: "He's going to take all the froooooooossssting...."

ME: "Christmas is all about sharing."

IMAGE 3: What Ab thinks about Christmas sharing. (Note all the sugar behind her, which will surely make everything okay.)

What did I do about Ab's boy troubles? Well went and made myself 45 minutes late for work so I could call a friend for her - go pick up the friend - and bring friend back to our house - so now Tim has another kid to watch.

BONUS: He can't surf the Internet all afternoon because we need to keep the phone lines open for said parents of all the random kids at our house to call if they need anything. Ha! It's like starving out the enemy in the castle in medieval times. He'll cave soon, and I'll have high-speed Internet by the end of the year.

Or maybe he'll just watch TV. We shall see.
