Idea for your newspaper after the coupons are gone.

They boys want to play with the newspaper after I was done with it so I let them. They had so much fun and even cleaned up the mess. :)

The McCluskey's Christmas Tree 2011

All the kids-(silly kids and all)

The boys in my life.

Ben helping Corey with the tree.

Free hot chocolate.

Ben thinking he can ride in the back of the truck because no one would see him. He didn't do it.

Our Advent calendar stuffed with two pieces per day so both kids get one.

It is hard but worth it for the kids to help.

Sammy helping mommy!

When ever I have the printer out Sammy always wants to help me, but sometimes he doesn't help much.

He gets so excited when he starts to print.

He keeps on looking at it and says it's coming over and over again.

Favorite Breakfast with the McCluskey Kids

The boys just love freshly made fruit/vegetable smoothies. Then even ask for seconds.

One of my favorite presents my husband gave me.

What goes along great with a smoothie. You guessed it, lucky charms. The kids have spoons but they use there fingers to pick out the marshmallows.

But the know that if they don't eat all of the cereal that mommy won't buy that cereal again so they eat all of it.
