My Thankful Life, Part 1

 We kicked off the Thanksgiving holiday having lunch with Jack at school.  It was fun to join him and all his classmates and their families and see them all dressed up in their costumes.  However, it would have been more fun if I didn't have the little ones with me as they didn't want to eat the food (don't really blame them) and just wanted to climb on everything (Wyatt) or throw things (Ethan).  Plus it fell over Wyatt's naptime...  This is Jack's class.  For Thanksgiving we made the long drive out to see Jason's mom and family out in Phoenix.  The boys did really well on the drive, minus the first night in the hotel when Wyatt thought it would be much more fun to jump on the bed, laugh at the top of his lungs at 2am and generally keep us all awake until 4am, regardless of the fact that we got up at 6a to head back out on the road.  But we made it there in two days and the boys were so happy to Granny.  They especially...

Arts & Crafts

 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! They have all gotten so big, haven't they?

A Spooky Little Treat

 We had such a fun Hallowwen...these treat bags were just itching to get used!  The boys started the festivities off by opening their Halloween cards from Nana and Granddad.  Jack, always the helper, was giving Wyatt a hand.  Thanks Nana and Granddad!  My cute little penguin doesn't understand how to pose for a photo yet.  I kept trying to get him to stand still so I could take a picture but he just kept walking towards me.  I was hoping the Jack wasn't too scary of a zombie to scare his little Ewok of a brother.  Look at those little faces!  We started the evening off, as we always do, at Publix for some trick-or-treating.  The boys always enjoy it and we've been doing it since we moved into this house.  They go around the store to different games and play for candy.  This year we were joined by our friends Myleigh and Melania.  Then it was back home for dinner ...
