Post-Christmas Festivities

One of the hits this year at Christmas was a Nerf gun for Dylan from Aunt Vicki and Uncle Chris. This thing is huge and shoots these Nerf darts at 3 per second. I am not sure who liked it better, the boys or Jonny. Jonny held Dylan and Colin at one night under the guise of trying to see how it worked.


One of the projects of the winter break was to get Pop's room ready. Dylan and Colin made a sign on the wall while Jonny prepared the room. It was really sweet.


Jonny decided he wanted to hang wainscotting (or beadboard) in the room. He had never done this before but he had a good time figuring it out.


A little impression of Chevy Chase from Christmas Vacation. Jonny certainly enjoyed his Christmas gift from Pop...a nail gun.


I am quite impressed with the job he did. Especially for this being his first time with it. I need to get an after picture up....as well as an after picture of the laundry room! Yes, that has been done for a while too!


So, Dylan has had it in his mind for a while that he has wanted to stay up all night. He wanted a boys night so we told him that he and Jonny could stay up one night during his winter break. The boys night seemed like a lot of fun. They began the night watching the first Batman movie. Then they played Wii for a while. They made hot chocolate and popcorn and then watched another movie. Jonny had a difficult time keeping up with Dylan.


At about 4am, Jonny convinced Dylan to take a nap. Here is how I found them in the morning. Aren't they cute?
