Gingerbread Houses 2009

Once again, the joys of having a great brother who always loves my children...thanks Luke, we love you!!!

Luke and Caitlyn brought over the gingerbread houses to decorate again this year. I have completely turned it over to them because I really have a hard time enjoying it because it totally stresses me out! The kids loved it and ate lots of candy...and even left some for the houses.

Luke constructing his house...mentally preparing for the competition. :)

The girls...taking a minute from construction to pose for the camera.

More candy....all you can eat...even after mom said "no more."

A work in progress...looking pretty amazing!

The girls finished work! Will helped a little too but he was more interested in eating instead of decorating.

Piper and Will with Uncle Luke. Will had a hard time keeping his little fingers out of the candy tray...and most pictures were of him sneaking it...but we got this one.

Growling....hmmm....not really sure why...but they thought it was fun!

5 Fat Turkeys & Give Peace A Try

These aren't the greatest quality but still fun.

My Little Indian

Monday was Grandparents/Family Day at Creekview for Piper. Also, the kindergarten classes had a Thanksgiving presentation and sang lots of songs they learned. It was a mad house trying to get parked and get into the school because there were so many people...I should have just gone home and walked. Piper did great and is still singing all her "turkey" songs. I'm gonna try to break up the video and get it on here but they were too cute!

Will and His New Shoes

So we bought Will some new tennis shooes on Friday and he hasn't taken them off since. It is quite amusing because he even took a nap in them. Shirt, undies and shoes....I can't stop laughing!

Fires & Hot Chocolate

The kids have been asking to have a fire for weeks now and it just hasn't been cold enough. So last night I opened the windows and brought in the cold air and built a fire. I also let the kids have hot chocolate in their mugs. Will was so funny because I left the room for a minute and come back and he is snuggled up in the chair closest to the fire with his blankie....just happy as could be. No picture of Piper....she was too busy getting her baby dolls all situated for the night!

...oh yes...with his snake too tonight!!

Pumpkin Carving

The kids are really getting into the pumpkin carving....well really just getting the goop out and seeing the final outcome. We had lots of fun with Uncle Luke and Caitlyn! Thanks guys for always coming and playing with the kids....we love you!

This is what happens...

when you leave your little independent two year old boy to brush his own teeth. The whole roll of floss ends up in places it shouldn't!! He was so proud of himself.
