Trouble Sleeping

Deacon has had trouble sleeping during his nap time lately. He stays in his room, he's quiet, he's content, but I don't think he sleeps much. I think he has too many distractions. Most children sleep with a stuffed animal or a toy. Deacon sleeps with a toy store!



Here is a list of what I found in his bed:


10 Large Toys


10 Medium Toys

13 matchbox cars

5 books

20 stuffed animals (Only 19 are pictured. I found another hidden in the sheets as I was making his bed.)

Pre-Christmas Pics

Well, since it's almost Christmas, I figured I better get these pictures up here.

Does anyone still need their Christmas tree chopped down? Our little lumberjack is ready for the job!

The stockings were hung by the mantel with care.

Finn helped Mommy with the garland.

Can anyone guess which 2 ornaments Deacon put on the tree?

Deacon helped Daddy put the star on top.

I had another helper for putting up the lights outside.

Deacon and Daddy slept by the tree in their sleeping bags.

Merry CHRISTmas!

White Elephant

The tie rack at Von Maur?

No, just the 34 ties I received in a white elephant gift exchange with our Bible study.

Tom Cruise in Top Gun?

No, just the really cool shades that came with the ties.
