The last Friday of 2005 means that it is Photo Friday time again.

A sure sign that Christmas Eve and all the excitement it brings is upon us.

Spontaneous happy dancing and goofy face making as the stockings get nailed into the stucco.

Merry Christmas from the veg4fam.

While the veg4fam was driving this morning, Mistah Checka and I overheard this conversation that was taking place in the backseat of the 4Runner.

"Did you just hear that lady on the radio? She said fork in the A-S-S!"

"No she didn't, she said Fart Gas. Fart gas coming up she said"

This is what happens when your 7 and 4 year old hear an announcement about the upcoming weather report, or forecast, on the radio.

It starts out innocently enough with them insisting this will be the best shot for the Christmas card this year.

Which would be true if I only had one child who had an extra set of hands growing out of her shoulders and a third ear.

From there on out they executed various poses ranging from hand holding attempts...

To silly noise making and the chuckles that followed...

To a brief pause in the insanity to catch their breath (guess who adores her brother?!)....

To an overwhelming urge to give bear hugs to unsuspecting necks...

To hurt necks and hurt feelings of a seven year old and a booger eating four year old (this really should of been our card, since it so clearly illustrates the veg4children)...

Ending with lots of whining and arguing betwixt and between the two. So much so, that the dog got annoyed and ran in to restore order where only chaos reigned moments earlier...

Don't be surprised if you get my Christmas card and it's just a picture of the poinsettia.

Illustration Friday "Surprise". What Santa would feel if he actually had to buy the gifts.

Both of my kids went to see Santa at the mall yesterday. It's always fun when a four year old girl dressed in black velvet and hot pink, complete with stockings and cute little shoes asks Santa for a "Lego Wookie Turbo Tank" and Santa says "Wha?" and her seven year old brother leans in , interrupting "No! It's called the Clone Turbo Tank and you don't want that, I do. You want a stuffed animal or something".

Then Santa turns to my son with a smile and says "So you want the Lego tank for Christmas this year? and my son replies "Not really, I'd rather have a bow and arrow and a kitty".

"Well,you aren't going to use those presents together are you? Hold on a second- SAY CHEESE!- I am going to get you a bale of hay to put between the arrow and the kitty, okay?" says Santa who removes the kids from his lap as I am handed this photo from the elf, who was in a wheelchair.
