Living in Georgia

 I'm trying to get better about finding fun things to do with the boys and lately the little ones have both shown an interest in coloring.  Now we're just working on keeping the color crayons on the paper and not the table!  Ethan and Jack both had to disguise a turkey for a Thanksgiving project for school so we popped all the kids up at the table to do their work.  I have no photos of Jack because these were taken while he and Daddy ran up to the store to get supplies - he made his into Santa Clause and for whatever reason we had no glue or construction paper.  So while they were gone I took some photos of Ethan coloring his turkey and Wyatt just having fun coloring whatever he could get his hands on.  They both had so much fun that we moved on to coloring on a big pad of floor paper a few days later.  But it was hard for them to keep it on the paper and not color the floor!
