Zay is so into drawing these days...as in....Mommy draw this and mommy draw that! Yeah, I know...you thought Zay created these masterpieces, but my drawing skills really are equal to a preschooler's! #hewasimpressed #itried

Today was JJJ's second day in the window...bad parents forgot to move the elf! Darn all you awesome/creative/over-achieving parents...YOUR cute lil elves fish in the toilet and make snow angels out of sugar. This house? Yeah, we can't even make him change location... #parentfail

This kid is having the longest birthday celebration of all time! He's finally taking his birthday treats to school after being sick earlier in the week!! #keeponcelebrating

Our little Jingle Jolly James really surprised the kids when he barely made it back inside...he spent the whole day peaking in at us! :)

I'm not sure what us more impressive...that I could braid her baby fine hair or that she stood still long enough so I could do it! ;)

5 years ago I was holding the sweetest red-headed baby who was just an hour old at this time. Today, we have the theater to ourselves and we are celebrating what has happened in these last 5 years. I couldn't be more proud of this boy of ours! #blessed #adayforzay

These little feet have gotten into soooo much trouble the last few days...but I can't even explain how much I love them! #terribletwos

There have been some questions about our #elfontheshelf "Jingle Jolly James" and if he would return again this year. A new tradition has begun! Each year he will return on Zay's birthday! Seems like something to look forward to and a much easier job for Mom this time of year! ;)

:( Is there anything worse than your kiddo not feeling well? He tries to get up and play and then ends up right back here. Poor guy!

This girl will go to any lengths to be like her big brother...including "fake puking", because her brother really is today. :( Hoping he is better for his bday tomorrow...and hoping she isn't "really puking" tomorrow! #lifeofammom

Oh my...this boy has been loved on this weekend! I'm so thankful for these grandparents he has! They love him so much and he is blessed by them in too many ways to count! What a great evening celebrating our Zay! #blessed

Zay: Mommy, please write 'a guy is in jail' next to my picture. Me: He's in jail? That's too bad...was he naughty? Zay: Yes...will you write 'he was naughty' next to it too? Me: Okay... Zay: Okay...now Facebook it! #timesarechanging #facebookit #fouryearsold
