Happy Thanksgiving

A nap after a Thanksgiving lunch?


This young Jedi thinks so.

November 21st?

Where has this month gone?
I haven't posted much lately because there really isn't much going on. Just finishing up some house projects, getting ready for Olivia, and spending time with Nick.

Nick Update:
Chris and Nick let me have the house to myself last Sunday. When they got back, I swear Nick was taller than when he had left. He calls me "Mom" a lot these days, I try to correct him and say my name is Mommy! Just something about him calling me "mom" makes him seem way to grown up! :-)

He loves to play Frogger and Space Invaders. I loved Frogger when I was growing up. So I guess we don't need an ipad or an iphone (which I have to say I am very happy about, I do not like touch screen phones)

I have noticed that he uses the word "Alright" instead of "Okay"
Examples:
"I'm Alright"
"Mommy where are you? Oh in the kitchen, Alright"

I am sure the next few weeks will go by fast, you can plan on the next post being mid december (if I am not sleeping) ;-)

Punkman Patch

Cynthia, my Aunt Susan and I took the kids to Apple Jacks Pumpkin Patch on Friday morning.

a little breakfast and then off to the "Punkman Patch"
(that cute little girl is Jensyn, one of the little ones I watch during the day)

Have you ever seen so many pumpkins?
 or as Nick calls them: "punkmans"

He loved picking out his own "punkman" He really wanted these too!

Great Aunt Susan and Nick

Painting Guys

We also got Nick his own paint and paint brushes for his birthday! This is where we find him most days before bed. Painting his guys.

Battle Wound

 
 
 
 
This is what happens when you play Stormtroopers past your bedtime. You end up tripping over daddy's feet and fall into the corner of the couch! OUCH. Extra snuggles for this little guy were in order last night.
