Parenting 101...

According to a three year old!

Parenting advise from Matthew from Kelli Melin on Vimeo.

I left the kids under Jess' tender loving care while I took a nap. Apparently it didn't go well, because I heard about the "tongue lashing" that Matthew gave him upon finishing a time-out session. This video is a take two, but funny still!

*In case you can't understand him, here is what he says:
"Don't lock people in their rooms. Don't Spank people with your hand. Don't lock people in their rooms. And don't take time out!"
In the original, he said little boys instead of people!

The kids on their Scavenger hunt to find their New Christmas Jammies.

4:29 AM - This is the last time this room was even remotely clean for two days!

Another "man eater" photo of our Summer girl. She's modeling her new make-up and her phone.

Lexi's little rocking horse from Grammy. It is the perfect size for her.

Santa's attempt to get Matthew on the nice list next year!

4:31 AM - The aftermath!

Down at the beach Geocaching (this is a modern day treasure hunt using GPS - www.geocaching.com ). I'm so glad it was jacket weather!
