Dude! How long was 2017?

Camden drew me for Secret Santa. Camden is the most thoughtful and caring boy I have ever known. He did get me football toys that he would enjoy for Christmas though. He wants to be sure I know he can be a little stinker too!

Little evil genius Kellan was standing still and I could tell the gears in his brain were working hard. I immediately asked him what he was up to. He replied with a devilish grin, "Ruling the world"...

The boys and I walked to the mail box so I could send out a letter. They fought over (go figure) who got to put the letter in the mail slot. Big brother Camden won. As he meticulously and carefully slid the letter in the slot, he stuck his little mouth in and whispered, "I hope that saves you money on car insurance". I was stunned, but now the boys have to whisper a message every time I mail something. And I'm an 85 year old woman obsessed with mail, so this happens quite frequently...

I told the boys no more TV for the day. As they couldn't seem to come up with anything else in the world to do, Kellan piped up, "Camden! We can watch TV in my head!"...

Camden's so proud to be a lefty. (That was my goal growing up and it has not happened). I was teaching him righty tighty lefty loosey when using a screwdriver. He thought about it, realized he wanted lefty loosey, so he switched from his right to left hand...

Kellan was being crazy at Grammy's (go figure), and Camden the old soul he is, looked at Grammy signed and said, "that's your grandson"...

There was a fun little thing going around to ask your kids some questions about yourself. Here are Kellan Hix's answers. Please note: this was like pulling teeth to get him to sit still and focus long enough to answer...

Then, Kellan decided to take the quiz again, but answered for Oscar our cat...

Oscar's favorite song is Sorry not Sorry (and he thinks the singer's name is Dummy Avocado)

I may or may not say the same things frequently. As we were getting ready to walk out the door for school, Camden said sweetly. "I love you sweetheart! Get your backpack on!"...
