Twas The Drama Before Christmas...

This just can't be forgotten and must be read at her graduation party or wedding some day.

Our kids have asked for an elf on the shelf the past couple of years. I can rarely remember to be the tooth fairy and that is just one night. This year, the kids were given one by a dear (or evil) friend of ours. Thankfully, it was only a week or so before Christmas so we only forgot to move it once! 

 Meet Zenzy

 Everything was going just fine until the night before Christmas when it was past time to go to bed. I find Avery crying. She was too distressed at the thought of never seeing Zenzy again. I don’t know anything about this thing. She said “He goes to the north pole and doesn’t come back until next year and I will just miss him really bad.” I ask what makes her think this and she said her cousin Duncan told them that. I asked how he knew and they said the book says it. I clearly never read the book that came with this thing in order to prepare them...and I still haven't. Oops. I don't know if they read the book but forgot about that part until Duncan reminded them, or if they didn’t even read the book until Duncan said something. Regardless, I tell them I was going to go check because maybe they read it wrong. 

I go to the living room in hopes of getting help from this guy. Meet Jason (my brother-in-law).

I ask him what in the world do I say?! He says that just the magic goes to the North Pole, but the elf can stay. Whew I thought. I go in there thinking this will be easy. Not so much. 

Meet my beautiful, sensitive, worried, and full of questions daughter.

 Avery asks things like "How do you know?" and “How does he come back down to our house if his magic stays at the North Pole? He won’t have the magic to come back to our house...” Oh dear. I feel myself in a semi panic state similar to other fun questions like how do you make a baby. I almost talked about how when people die their souls leave but their bodies stay, but thankfully something much less complicated popped into my head at just the right time. 

I explain that Zenzy will go to the North Pole to consult with Santa. He will come back here and be in a different place. You will be able to touch him and that is when his magic goes away. He will get his magic back next year and will start hiding again. But until then you will be able to play with him...so go to sleep fast so you can play with him!!!

Meet my sweet, I want to donate my hair to locks for love, I don't care if there is stuff on my face, non-worried, innocent little son.

  Zane decided to pop in with a question. He asked if Zenzy would be able to fly or do anything cool. I said no he won’t have magic!! He will be like every other doll…you can throw him and he’d fly if you want. Zane said very seriously, “Oh no, we don’t want to do that or we might be put on the naughty list.” Oh right, good thinking! We shall be nice to Zenzy. I once again quickly assure them they will see Zenzy tomorrow, so they needed to fall asleep!!

I go back into the living room where I could finally die laughing. That is when I look at the letter that Avery quickly wrote Santa after leaving milk and cookies…I quickly realized one problem. 

Other than being last on the list, we didn’t get our dog a gift…but clearly she made an effort to find an extra stocking to pin up for Santa to do something with. I then found another problem. I checked this ornament to find her list with some extra things added...

Can you see this? You may have to click to enlarge...

Other than desperately wanting to see a shooting star, she wants Santa to sign the paper to prove to the kids in her class that Santa is in fact real and that EVERYONE else is wrong. (If you can't see it, she wrote..."Your name_________because non in my class at school believe in you.) I cannot believe that everyone has told her he’s not real and she has not even asked us. She just doesn’t even see that as a possibility.

I ponder. Do I leave it empty so she will not take it to school and then maybe ask us of his realness, or do I just sign it and then convince her that letters stay home, especially ones signed by Santa…we wouldn’t want it stolen or ripped up by a kid now would we?! I sign it…and then grab dog food, a ziplock, a bow and throw it in the stocking she pinned up and called it good.

 I was semi hoping that the dog food may make her question. As soon as she asks, I will tell. After all this, I WANT her to ask. I have never laughed and at the same time been so amazed at the thought and details that went on this year. She also instructed us we could not turn on the fireplace and we needed to leave the chimney doors open so Santa could get in. This was never a concern before. I have a feeling I crossed the line of lying. I’m not sure I can do this again next year...I may be put on the naughty list...

Totally Toothless=Drooling and Flying Spit!

and cute conversation...

True Love

Somehow he sounded her name out and came up with two different spellings within 2 minutes, but my favorite is when he came to me and said "What's our phone number because I want her to be able to call me!!"It looks like we need to work on 3's 5's and 2's! I love how he was so proud and excited to give this to her. So sweet!!

Wiggly Tooth and Dancing Robots

The kids were running around playing or fighting...don't remember...but it ended with Avery being the happiest 6 year old EVER! She said "Zane, thank you SO much for bonking my tooth with your head. It made my tooth wiggly!!! Look mommy, there's even blood!!!!!" Yes dear. It moved 1/16 of a centimeter and smeared 4 tiny dots of blood. Yay!!! It should be ready to come out within 6 months!

Here was a random picture found on the camera. I guess Zane was very proud of his crumbling crackers into little mini muffin wrappers abilities!

We went to a Thunder game a couple of weeks ago and watched some amazing robot dancing skills during halftime. Zane thought he was just as good as them. This edited video* was shot at night with my cruddy camera. No worries though, you can still make out his awesome moves...

*This video started out with Avery being jealous that Zane was getting more attention. She turned on Kidz Bop and jumped up beside Zane to sing Bieber's "Baby" while he robot danced around her. She got mad he kept blocking her view of the camera, yelled at him, and got sent to her room. Also edited out was Zane still dancing like a robot while singing Katy Perry's "California Girls" in a robot voice. Oh dear. I put off buying that CD for Avery for 2 years. I kinda wish I could take it back!

It's Vegematic!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls...I present to you the cutest purple eggplant in the entire world...
Watch her Groove
For some reason my camera made her look glowing and angelic...

Here is her speaking part and of course my memory card would get too full before she finished...

The Skins

Can I first just state how much I love 70 degree weather in January!!!

Zane's cousin Levi who is 8 came over today and they were so funny to watch. I love how Levi let Zane "tackle him" and win some of the matches too, although I didn't get a picture of that...

I was very impressed with how he well he entertained a 4 year old! He would be very careful when body slamming him into our couch.

It did get a little difficult figuring out what they could do together...
L: I like scary movies, can we watch one?
Z: Well, I don't like scary movies but I guess we could watch The Grinch...
L: I want to see Piranha or Paranormal Activity!
Z: Oh, what about Cat in the Hat!!?
haha

I then remembered baseball!!

Great day. Great cousin.

At 9:30pm Zane asked if it could be bedtime! haha. He was out in 5. Now...how to entertain an 8 year old with no playstation, wii, or even DS??! I'll figure it out!

Bringing in the New Year Beyonce style...

Backing up to Thursday night, Avery had a friend stay the night. She was a very sweet girl and they seemed to have a lot of fun making necklaces, and putting on make up, perfume, and hair junk.

Austen also stayed the night with Zane while Amy and I watched a movie. Austen could literally stay up forever. He didn't (thus Zane didn't) fall asleep until midnight. Amy and I crashed around 1:15am.

Friday morning was all about being lazy. We went to breakfast at IHOP around 11:00! After dropping off Avery's friend that afternoon, I got a call that Wes was offered Thunder tickets for the New Years Eve game!

Here we are on the fifth row chillin in $250 seats (right in front of Kevin Ogle). I cannot imagine spending this times 4 for our family to see a game. So glad they were free!

We had a GREAT time! When the Thunder Girls came out, Zane buried his head in shyness. I'm not sure if he thought those pretty girls could see him or if he was mortified at how little they wear. Either way, it was adorable!

Our kids totally dress themselves most of the time. I knew this night was going to be freezing so I just told them they needed to be warm. We walked out the door without noticing this...

as well as forgetting to wash this out of hair and off ear...

We are totally cool with showing off our hoodlems as we try and catch flying objects

Wes caught us a free Little Ceaser's Large pizza frisbee for us!

Now for Beyonce...Avery tried winning the Dancing for Dinner at Applebee's! She was very bummed the camera man never noticed her. In case one video isn't enough...here is two. I am not sure where she got these moves??!

Two long nights and no naps meant two VERY tired kids after the game!
I took a pic of Avery because it cracks me up at how much stuff she sleeps with. I will find barbies and cups under her blanket. That can't be comfortable?!? I'm still trying to recover from staying up late so many nights last week. I just can't handle it like I could in college...

Just some things I don't want to forget...

Zane

Zane has gotten pretty good at not answering questions when confronted. He will try and beat around the bush or say “I dunno...” Squeezing toothpaste all over the bathroom is not something you forget, so Wes and I will say “Yes or No?” and make him fess up. The other day, Zane asked me if I could get him a pillow pet and followed it by…“Yes or Yes sir?” Ha. Good try buddy. I think Santa will fall for your desperate pleadings though.

Speaking of those desperate pleadings…I told Zane we weren’t buying a pillow pet, but we can ask Santa for it. He responds…“You said that last time and Santa didn’t bring it. He never ever will. Everyone has a pillow pet…Jaxon, Ryan, Austen…everyone in the whole entire world but me.” I almost felt sorry for him…

Zane is very good at catching me when I’m losing patience and when I start saying “Shush” or “get out/go away/leave me alone” etc. He will say “mommy, you shouldn’t say that. Its not nice...” I really want to tell him “It’s not nice to annoy your mom either…” but I look at his innocent, sad, so dang cute little face, that I just have to hug him instead. It helps when his hugs are followed by “You’re the best mommy ever!” or "I love you the most...well not more than God though...!"

He is very good at thinking of other people. He drew pictures the other day and put them in envelopes. He asked me who’s mailboxes we should put them in. He was very excited. I need to provide more opportunities for him to get to follow through on his ideas and actually get to see people’s reactions, hugs, and thank you’s for the things he thinks of.

Dear Zane, You definitely like to push buttons and you never run low on “whine,” but you are so sweet, love learning, love helping, love giving, and love hugging. You are my little buddy and I love you very much!

Avery

Avery is the total opposite of me right now. I loved all sports and have been looking forward to watching her love it as much as I do, but his kid doesn’t want to do anything!

She has never cared about soccer; I’ve just bribed her to play. She is one that needs some confidence, and I thought she’d enjoy it after she understood how to play and got better. I’ve never pushed her to practice, just wanted her to have fun. 4 seasons later, she is still not wanting to do it. I'm done bribing.

She really liked hip hop jazz this summer, but no longer wants to go every week anymore. I told her I wasn’t going to pay if she wasn’t going to go. She said OK, she doesn’t want to do it…We dropped out.

She always loved gymnastics and I thought that was her thing. She was the most confident in it, but she told me last week she only wants to do it if she’s in her friend’s class. I tried to remind her how much she loved learning routines and going to little competitions (because she really did!) but she said “Well, I just like doing it at home and making up my own routines now...” If she wants to go down to a rec. class with a friend, I guess we'll do that. It's better than totally quitting.

After all these convo's I realized sports may not be her thing (Yes. I'm slow!). I ask her, Would you like to learn how to play the piano? “No, I already do that at GG’s.” Well, yes, but this way you can learn how to play actual songs!? “I just like making up my own songs…”

You love art! Would you like to take art lessons and paint? “I would like to paint, but I don’t want someone to tell me how to do it because I already know how…”

Hmm. She likes doing things, just doesn’t like people telling her what to do!? Maybe she’ll gain interest as she grows. I just want to get her (me) out of the house occasionally-get to know other girls, have fun, and gain confidence in herself and her abilities. Maybe she just wants to get better at painting fingernails at home... I think I can handle that...

Dear Avery, you have so much spunk with natural talent in so many areas. You are a big helper, love babysitting, and obey very well. I can't wait to find out what else you really love to do. I hope I will notice it, if it is something I'm not expecting. I love you my little sweet angel.

Randomness from the past month

Z-man has been running his mouth a lot lately. There are some cute things such as...

Z: "Hey mommy, is this so surprising?!"

Me: What?

Z: "Look"....(shows me a scratch on his elbow that he got from the school playground!)

It was so cute the way he asked if it was so surprising!

But then there has been a lot of...
Z: "I wish I don't have a mommy or a daddy" (after saying no to something!)

and...

Z: "You never let me do anything"

Me: "Oh, ok. Well since I don't let you do anything, when we get home you will just go straight to your bed.

Z: "We haven't even eaten yet...."

Me: "I don't let you eat. I don't let you play outside. I don't let you watch cartoons. I don't let you play on the computer....remember I don't let you do anything. So...I guess you will just sit on your bed all day and do nothing."

Z: "OK. I changed my mind...you let me do things..."

HAHA

We got enjoy yummy sno cones at Avery's school. Avery's school had a coloring contest which she entered in. I probably should have read the fine print. I have no idea when they decide the winner.
I came into my room one day and noticed this little masterpiece Avery made. I see one of the big gold beads rolled away, but I was impressed it's actually wearable! I think I will string it up and give it to her!

I missed out on putting enormously oversized flowers on Avery's head, so that was about the first thing I did with my newest little Tur-Bus addition. Speaking of, I'm really feeling like a tour bus this year. I drop off kids at 9 and 9:30 and then pick up kids at 11, 11:30, 2:30, and 4!

Avery went to a birthday party at dynamo gymnastics and it was pretty fun. However, I was VERY sad they said adults were not allowed to tumble on the floor or get on the equipment. I kind of thought I was going to be able to fulfill my dream of being able to do gymnastics again...maybe one day...

I think I'm in cleaning/organizing mode today. Hopefully progress will be made. Especially since we don't have to get in and out of the car 100 times.

Is it OK to drink Emergen-c everyday? Because I have been. Is there such thing as too much vitamin C!?!

Out.

Random Thoughts Thursday

It's been a crazy couple of weeks...

space

Wes is taking his strong quarterly ATRA chemo pills right now and they are killers. He nearly "died" after watching the kid's soccer games last weekend when I was out of town (the medicine says stay out of the sun!), and he has to force himself out of bed at 8:00. This morning it was 8:20 (he's usually AT work at 8). Mix in trying to pack...and well...it makes for a slow process! He will be done taking the pills when we close on the 30th. Hopefully it will flush out of his system fast so we can paint, unload, etc.

space

The Tur-Bus had an interesting case of "oops a rock from my shoe accidentally got in my ear and it's stuck..." It was very close to the "I accidentally put a pea in my nose..." that occurred months ago, but the pea was able to be blown out, and the rock had to have a doctors help! Haha...

Those same two little sillies mentioned above came in today and said "Yay...it's our last Kayla Day this week!!" Hey now...you shouldn't be THAT excited... :(

space

When getting in my car the other day Zane said..."Mommy, God isn't very happy at you...your car is a big mess and you are supposed to take care of what God gives you." A few days later I see Zane washing his bike and I ask him what he's doing. He says "Washing my bike so it will make God happy..." I see Wes has brainwashed him already! Too bad Zane doesn't realize HE'S the one that messes up my car...

We were having the kids clean there rooms and pack up some of their toys. Zane was excited, but Avery asked "How much can I pay you for you to clean my room instead?" Unfortunately...she got this from me.....
space
Then Zane piped in and said "I don't care about cleaning my room...I just care about God." HAHAHA. While that is so sweet...it also called for a "calm down with the brainwashing Wes..." :) space
I'm not sure where this came from. Probably the girls my poor Zane has to play with everyday!! But he's been saying "See look Avery, I officially love this..." "Officially" is the new "totally" and I'm so glad Zane has that figured out!

Tur's Favorite Things...

We've packed up Zane's toys and books. The only thing left out was the Leapster and Tag. I always knew they won rewards after reading and playing the games, but I was too lazy to plug it into the computer and mess with it. We did it one day and Zane got SOOO excited. He now wants to play all the time to win more rewards. Great educational toys! Here is one of the print out rewards...a coloring sheet. He can't color without sticking his tongue out! When I went to Honduras, my little sister took Avery to see Shannon Miller. She has no idea who this girl is, but for some reason I wanted her to get a picture with her. Gotta love kids getting along...puzzles are my favorite because they take a while!We loved unpluggits this summer and will miss it (for a while). This is one of Avery's old gymnastics friends...So I wasn't kidding about Avery's insane collection of silly bands and the fact she remembers where each one came from...here is proof. I think this was when she had 90...she now says she has 130?? The past week, Avery and the neighbor girls have gotten together with their collections to play with and trade...Have I mentioned I have never bought her any!?!

My last favorite thing, is seeing my kids conquer their fears and gain confidence. In reading, sports, and anything else. We haven't been in gymnastics the last few months, so yesterday we decided to practice a little. Avery got over her fear, and can do a back bend now without me close to her! She now LOVES doing them and is so excited to show everyone. My chip was full so it cut off, but oh well.

We've Hit A Milestone...

A few days ago, we decided to try and teach Avery how to ride a bike with no training wheels. It was not real successful. I don't know if she feels too much pressure when we ask her to try something, but she gets so flustered and frustrated (like with reading). It was fussiness the whole five minutes. I was convinced we'd just wait another year...

Yesterday, she was playing outside with a neighbor a couple of years older than her and she comes in and says "I know how to ride a bike now!" I guess she does much better with 8 year old instructions. She felt no pressure, she was able to keep her cool and just keep trying again. Each time she gained a little more confidence which gave her the drive to continue. I then came out and helped her a little more, and she mastered it. She can now even start off by herself. She loves it and wants to ride her bike all day long now. If the girl would just stay calm and have a little confidence, she could do anything she wants to do.

Randomness

I have been told only half of this post shows up. I am not sure why it isn't working. It's showing up when I use firefox but isn't when I use internet explorer. Maybe me editing it right now will make it work? If not...let me tell you...you arent missing anything! Kinda like the rest of my blog...

First I will start with my kids:
We went out to eat and Zane asks the waiter, "Do you do things God's Way or Your Way?!" It's been a month since VBS, but it lives on! He would also ask each time he walked by, "Is my food ready yet." "I'm still hungry..." "I. Want. My. Food."

I asked Avery how babies were made. She said "God uses magic...magical stuff?"

Zane drew a picture of a person today and I asked him what one part was...he said that's his conbelican cord and he's sad because the doctor's just cut it....

We just broke the news to Avery that cutting babies out of the tummy is not the only way. She was VERY concerned and asked "How does it come out down there??? How big does it get??" After showing her the size of only about a 1 pound baby...she said even more concerned "That is STILL really big???????" Oh dear. We moved on...

Now on to these questions going all around the blog world....

1. How often do you go over the speed limit? I use my cruise control ALWAYS and I set it at five over.
2. Do you dance like crazy when no one is looking? I will dance like crazy when people are watching if i'm in the mood! Usually when people aren't looking, I'm just laying down though.
3. If you were going to be stuck on a desert island, which book, movie, and CD would you take? Bible, Natalie Grant's Relentless, and I may need Dumb and Dumber in a desert island.
4. What did you get in trouble for as a kid? Pushing buttons and having the same personality as my mom!?
5. What really gives you the creeps? I second the pedophiles and spiders.
6. What was your favorite toy when you were a kid? I can not remember playing with toys?! I liked to draw though.
7. You run into a friend while shopping. Where were you? Can Starbucks be considered shopping?
8. When you fall asleep are you usually on your side, stomach, or back? I have to roll all over the place.
9. If fat or calorie intake weren't an issue, what food would you consume the most? It being an "issue" doesn't keep me away from my daily ice cream!! I mighy go back to eating Crisp N Tasty pizza everyday if I didn't know it'd kill me. That was my favorite growing up!
10. If you could hire one of the following, which would it be: Driver, chef, maid, stylist? Maid of course.
11. What movie have you watched the most? Probably Dumb and Dumber.
12. What perfume do you wear? I do not wear anything other than deodorant. I am all things opposite of the girls on perfume commercials. (2 days after posting this I was given Faith Hill perfume and have been wearing).
13. What was your favorite sitcom growing up? I liked Little House on the Prairie, Full House, and TFIG.
14. What were you doing the last time you had a really good laugh? Oh dear. After finishing the Story of Me book with Av, she wanted me to go through page by page and ask her a question to see if she remembered it. I asked "What is a girls.... called?" She said..."Oh I know this. Ummm...ummm....I think it's something Mexican?" What?!?!? Haha.
15. What was the very first concert I ever attended? I do not remember? I haven't been to very many.
16. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list? Brittany
17. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Most of the time 7 minutes. Enough time to shower and throw comfy clothes on. If i'm going to church and need to shower, do hair, makeup, and find something halfway decent...30 minutes.

19. Ever go to camp? Yes love camp! Osage Christian Camp, Burnt Cabin, and Zenith at York and OC. I think that's it? Maybe more.
20. Do you collect anything? I used to collect stamps and cool rocks but now I just collect piles of laundry.

It's Things Said Thursday

I Can't think of anything Avery has said other than "Mommy can I go play with Bella and Tyndal?"

Z: I wish I could go to jail....
Me: Uh...why would you want to go there?
Z: Because I'm a good fighter!
(What???!?!!)

Britt: Zane, come drink your milk
Z: My brain had enough milk already

Britt: Zane, can you clean your room for me so then I can clean it?
Z: Hmm...Can I clean my room? No thank you.

Z: You know why I'm frustrated?
Me: Why?
Z: Because I don't want to take a nap and so I'm frustrated...
Me: Oh man (using my good sympathy skills). Well your brain will grow and be happy so just think about that instead!

Me: OMG...I just bought The God's Design For Sex book series. It was clearly time to snap out of denial...
You all: It's not as scary as it seems and your children will be perfect angels after reading this book to them. :)
Me: Ok. I think I can handle being a mom.....

Random Things Kids Have Said Thursday

Zane my little sweet heart: He saw a Hannah Montana throw blanket and said..."Wow, Avery would love that. I wish I could buy that for her so she could keep it forever and ever." Nothing is sweeter than when your kids show their sweet and caring side!!

Av: "Can I have pudding AND skittles for my after nap treat?"
Z: "Avery, you are going to get diabetes if you eat too much sugar..."
Haha...that would be Wes and his scare tactics...

Z: "Can we eat at Old McDonalds?"
Me: "No, we just had that two days ago."
Lily: "Yea and you are only supposed to eat McDonalds like once a year."
Me: "You guys only eat there once a year?!?!"
Lily: "Well, maybe like once a month....or twice a month....two or three times a month."
Haha...

Av: "Jaxon said his mommy doesn't pull down his chronicles"
Me: "What is that?"
Av: "The things you pull down on my nails..."
Me: "Oh, cuticles!"
Av: "Yea. His mommy doesn't pull his down...they are going to get stuck and grow over his nails..."
Me: I think I said "Hey, I love this song....can you guys hear it?!?!" While blasting Klove on the radio!! Does anyone else go crazy when cuticles aren't pushed down?!?

Oh, My Zane...

Occasionally Zane will decide eating during dinner time is overrated and getting down to run around is more fun. That results in the baby highchair!

"Stop taking my picture. You aren't supposed to look at people when they are crying....."

After 10 minutes or so, Zane asked..

Z: Daddy, do you still love me?
W: Feeling a slight pain in his heart, going to pick him up he said...blah blah blah...I will always love you no matter what.

Z: What does no matter what mean? Even when I [insert several naughty things]…

W: Yes, you can’t do anything that will make me stop loving you. Things can make me sad or disappointed. Some things will have consequences, but I will always love you.

Another funny thing he has said lately...

Z: Mommy, I want someone to come take our house away.

Me: What? Why do you want that?

Z: Because GG's house is too way far away. I want to go to the Kiddie Park.

Me: Do you want to call GG? Ask her if the Kiddie Park opens Memorial Day weekend!

[He called her almost crying. He was really missing her I guess! After a while of chit chatting he said...]

Z: GG, guess what!? You helped me make myself cheer up!

I guess that is what GG's are for!! I nearly died listening to him say that. It was so precious!

Lastly, when he woke up from nap just now, I thought I'd take the time to hold him and tell him I love him. I also asked him if he thought I was a good mommy. I thought I would see if I had brainwashed him well enough to say "You're the best mommy in the whole wide world..." like he used to say...but instead I got this...

Z: [Head shaking no...]

Me: What? Why not?

Z: Because you're not a good cook. Daddy is though. (I really wanted to say whatever dude, last night was the first time he has ever cooked. I'd probably do a great job too if I only had to cook once every six years...instead I said...)

Me: But you like my speghetti and quesadillas, and enchiladas...

Z: Grandma's enchiladas were better. Hers were really cheesey and yummy...

So much for whole wheat tortillas and healthier "goop." It just can't compete with grandma's cookin...

That little squirt.

Baby Mason!!

Friday night we went and stayed with my grandparents which are the halfway point to Mandy's. Avery got her face painted like a cheetah at school that day and did not want to wash it off! Saturday at 7:30am we left to go to Mandy's to finally see this little cutie! Dad got pulled over in a speed trap and Zane rolled down the window and just started talking and talking to that police officer! About the Car's movie he was watching, his birthday party coming up, and I don't even remember what else. Too bad he didn't start crying...maybe they would have given him a warning instead!

The kids were great with him which is really making me go crazy for another baby! Avery loved getting her old toys and showing him how they worked!Precious!

Zane said he was NOT going to kiss him, but he sang him We Will Rock You in a high soft sweet voice while petting his fingers, ears, and cheeks!!

While Mason took a nap, Zac took the kids to the park

Can't wait to see him again in a few weeks!! He will probably look completely different. I totally agree Zane...
