Mayhem - Wednesday Funnies

In a house as full as ours is, sometimes ya just gotta wait for the comic relief:

Payne (while sitting in a parked car with Dad and the kids):  Yells loudly, "Adagio! Adagio!"

Daddy:  "What does Adagio mean Payne?"  (For the record, adagio is a musical term meaning to be played slowly and gracefully.)

Payne:  "Adagio means......Park is stupid."

Dad (while slamming on brakes as a car pulls out in front of him):  "Shoot-a-monkey! (And just don't ask, because I just don't know.......)

Teague (jumping frantically forward to look out the window):  "You mean there's a monkey in the road?

And, just because he wanted to be like the "Real" Superman:

Didn't know Superman wore camo, but I guess the man of steel can wear whatever he wants.....

Mayhem - Grandpa Teague

Disclaimer - yes, I know Christmas was over a month ago.  I have been working to get something different up here, and hopefully it will be done soon.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.  The Mom

Back to Teague:

This past month the kids celebrated 100 days of school.  They did this by dressing up like they were 100 years old.  They also did projects where they used one hundred of something to create a work of art.  If you ever wondered what Teague would look like as a wise, old gentleman, well here ya go!

Old Man Massey

His project was Brian's idea, and I thought it was pretty creative.  They printed out a picture of a parrot and used 100 water balloons for the feathers.  It was Brian's idea, but Teague did all the leg work (or feather work, in this case.)

Our little parrot head.

Eat your heart out, Jimmy  Buffet!

Musing and Mayhem - Everything but the Kitchen Sink Post and a Resolution to Try and Post More Often

This post has been a long time coming.  Of course, the holidays are always a hectic time of year and this year was no different.  There were Christmas parades and Christmas concerts for the Central Park Swamp Band, a recorder band in which Cage participated.

There was our annual hot chocolate and checking out christmas lights tour:

 

 There was a trip to Silver Dollar City:

There was Christmas Eve and Christmas morning:

There were talents developed:

And there was one birthday and two cakes:

And of course the incidentals:  one piano recital for two children, one flat tire in the middle of a chilly Mississippi night, one batch of homemade caramel, one batch of peppermint bark, one batch of crockpot candy (thanks Hazel, for the inspiration), one root canal, one work Christmas party, one sad boy who wanted a "big" present, and lots of good memories to tuck away and save for another time.

But most of all there were blessings counted and and the opportunity to teach our children of the greatest gift of all:  our Savior Jesus Christ.  We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas season, and we extend our heartfelt wishes for the most wonderful of new years!
