Annual Christmas Trip to DC 2008

Botanical Gardens Train expo...AKA "Pre-schooler crack"

Boyhood wonder...

Oh yeah, there were also some plants to look at too...

Cool castle from the train set up..

one of the many trains..

Trekking to the National Christmas Tree...

Family pose at the tree..minus John

Roman learned how to stay warm by putting his hands in his pockets...he is quite proud of himself here.

Reindeers hoofs...

Here is a snippet of Rocco's performance at preschool...this is the only segment that he really got into....he mostly stood there and made funny faces the whole time. FYI--He is in the middle with a red santa hat on.

So this is Christmas...

Rocco's interpretive dance number to John Lennons "So this is Christmas"

Sorry for the poor quality for some reason my camera has gone to lower quality and I didnt realize at the time of videography....

Mommy's future blackmail material....

I have no doubt that this material will re-surface again when he meets his bride to be....hahaha (evil laugh)

Just had to add this one too....he watches it now and laughs histerically...wonder if he will still do that 10 years from now..

The First Thanksgiving pre-school style...

Enter first Rocco and classmate as the Mayflower...

walking with a boat was hard!

but they found their spot....

After all the Indians and Pilgrims entered they sang some songs...

Then in true Indian and Pilgrim style--we enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving feast...and of course Rocco with his signature face...

Happy Thanksgiving to all who read! We are truely thankful for your friendship in our lives!

God Bless!!

Documenting the funny sayings...

OK, I am not much of a scrapbooker...or documenter for that matter...all I have is this blog and some very neglected baby books..but I do want to remember some of the funny things my kids have said..so here goes...(sorry to bore any of you who have already heard this stuff)



Rocco:

Pointing to a mosquito bite on his arm..."Look Mommy, I have Leopard Seed!"


After getting fitted for his Aunt Aubreys wedding..."When do I get to wear my speedo?"


When in trouble with his father..."Mom, how do I get rid of Daddy?"



When annoyed with his brother.... "No more Roman for a week!" (stolen from the Berenstain Bears-no more TV for a week)



Also when annoyed with his brother..."Mom, I think Roman needs a nap"



When trying to convince his grandparents to do something for him..."Come on Fellers!" (I think that is stolen from Veggie tales or Berenstain Bears)

Roman: (short list currently since he is at the beginning stages of talking)

Pointing to his fathers sunglasses..."asses"

When hungry and pointing to food....I want YUMMY!!

In general I just love his little voice and everything he says is so darn cute right now just because of the way he says it...which is not good because even when he is being sassy, I definitely think that is hilarious and cute too..and I know I shouldn't. Maybe its because he is the youngest and as my older siblings have told me countless times through the years..the baby always gets away with murder...I could be in trouble here.
