knock, knock

About a month ago, Wesley randomly started telling knock, knock jokes. None of them made sense because he would make them up himself. We tried teaching him real knock, knock jokes and eventually they stuck. A week after Wesley started telling real jokes, Beckett begin imitating him. It is the CUTEST thing ever! Now they are both OBSESSED with telling jokes!

I took this video a couple of weeks ago and since then the boys have learned quite a few more knock, knock jokes. If you ever need a laugh, call us! I'm sure the boys will brighten your day!

Festival of Trees

Since Rob has recently had a little "free time", we decided to take the boys to The Festival of Trees last week. I hadn't been since I was a little girl, and I forgot how fun it was to go! The boys absolutely loved it! The were most excited about visiting Santa and telling them what they wanted. The past two years, Wesley has been terrified of sitting on Santa's lap and this was the first time we have taken Beckett. They both did awesome and were so excited! After Wesley told Santa about wanting a Bat Cave for Christmas, he got his candy cane, walked over to me and asked, "So where's my Bat Cave"? It was too funny! He thought once he asked Santa for his present, he would get it right then. It took a little time to explain to him that he had to wait until Christmas. And of course Beckett told Santa he wanted a Bat Cave too because what Wesley does, Beckett does!

Besides walking around and looking at the trees, they also had a Kid's Corner. The boys loved doing all the little activities.

(The red glitter was a huge mistake and super messy!)

My favorite part of the festival were the creative gingerbread houses. Here are a few of my fave:

Jack's house from Nightmare Before Christmas

This enormous castle!

There were two really cute "UP" houses. I couldn't decide which one I liked better.

I can't believe how creative some people are! One of Wesley's favorite things was the giant bubble he got to stand in. He thought it was so cool!

I didn't get very many pictures of the trees, there were too many people. But the Shrek tree was probably my boy's favorite! They are obsessed with Shrek right now!

We had a fun afternoon as a family and I hope we can turn this into a tradition every year!
