Chistmas Play

Jacob was in his first Christmas Play that involved speaking.  I was so proud of  him.  The whole class did great and it was very cute!  Here are some pictures of my little Innkeeper.  His lines were.... 

"No, there are no more rooms.  But you may rest in the stable in the back if you wish." 

I loved seeing his face and how proud of himself he was.

 After the play we took a picture of the Jacob by his prop.

Snow Globe

I found Evan looking at a snow globe this morning.  It was so cute, he spent at least fifteen minutes shaking it and then gazing at it.  Makes me wonder what was going through his mind at the time.

Christmas Rock Concert

Jacob came out dressed up like this the other day.  He said he was getting ready for the Christmas Rock Concert.  He was dressed as a Rock n Roll Santa.

Annual American Family Christmas Breakfast

The same characters were at American Family this year as years past.  Reindeer, Penguin, Snowman, Clifford, and Santa.  But this year we also met Maynard from the Mallards. (Bucky never showed up.)  Evan was super shy and wouldn't go near anyone so our pictures consist of Jacob hugging all the characters. Here are two of them.

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary to my dear parents!! Don't forget to take some time for yourselves today. I am very thankful to have such a great example of a loving marriage in my life!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Children's Museum

Here are some pictures from our visit to the Children's Museum a couple weeks ago.

Happy Halloween!

We tried to have the boys carve a pumpkin this year but they were not too into the slimy mushy stuff.  So much for having boys!  They much prefer to paint their pumpkins.

Livingroom Camp-out

Nate was gone on business this week so I thought it would be fun to have a camp-out with the boys.  I found some batman tablecloths to make a fort with and Nate had bought the boys a lantern.  Of course it went a lot smoother in my head but overall it was fun for all.

Here are some pillows I made the boys for the camp-out.  (Thanks to Amanda for the lesson!)

Batman Fort

 Good night!

I snuggled in right between the boys... for about 10minutes.  Then I moved to the couch and around 2am I made my way to my bed. 

Hunting for Leaves

I have quickly figured out the downside of living in a new development ...  lack of fully grown trees.  I miss this the most in Autumn when the leaves are so full of color and then begin to fall on the ground.  Well today we went out on a search for leaves to fill some pumpkin bags.  After filling the bags we did a lot of playing.

Enjoy the rest of Fall!
