Thanksgiving-with a lot of imagination needed.

Thanksgiving was so fun that we forgot to take any pictures. My brother and his wife came in for the holiday and we had a lovely time. We had Thanksgiving in Alexandria with my dad and then went on to spend time with my mom.

Picking up Oliver and Dantzel at the airport.

Snacking...

Oliver and Jack playing Legos.

And that is all the pictures I took for thanksgiving. Did you like how I left out most of the people and festivity?

A short phone update

The packages for Christmas have started arriving...we mostly do online shopping as we don't have many stores nearby.

Lucy figured out how to clim the ladder on the bunk bed, I grabbed a quick picture and then removed Lucy and the ladder. The ladder is now hidden during the day.

My poor Lucy had a virus with a high fever that lasted a few days. She's better now but took a long nap in my bed one afternoon.

Cuddling in bed.

We happened onto Santa and Mrs. Claus at dunkin donuts.

Lucy didn't cry, but she didn't smile. She wasn't about to let her brother out-sit her on Santa's lap.

Thanks for the donut, Santa...

We just put up our tree and Jack begged to put on the star.

Thank you, Jack. The tree looks lovely.

I still have some pictures that need to be posted, but I just found an app to blog from my phone which will be perfect for my phone updates!!

Quick update

I'm still behind on pictures, so this post won't have pictures but a quick thought. My kids are sweet and say cute kid things that need to be documented.
Yesterday Lucy sneezed on Jack's book and he started yelling "Lucy bless you'd on my book!!!"

Lucy's first official word was "shoes." This girl loves shoes. She wants them on first thing in the morning and changes through hew few pairs throughout the day. She loves everyone else's shoes too. Her first official sentence was "I need milk." She is an excellent communicator, mostly with emphatic nods or a clear yes or no, she can tell you what she wants.

Jack's birthday

October 28, 2014. Jack's 5th birthday!

I ordered this spiderman lego cake from my friend, Molly. It was the hit of Jack's birthday.

His birthday was unseasonably warm, which made it the perfect day to play outside with friends and test out his new glider bike.

Lucy (who rips her hair bows out regularly), loved being outside with the big kids.

Jack on his new bike.

Historically, crazy hair day at the Danville schools falls on Jack's birthday.

Jack picked pizza for his dinner and Lucy took the party outside.

Don't worry, she stuck that slice of pizza IN the car she was riding on so it would be safe for later.

Jack and our neighbor Larissa on their matching glider bikes.

The night of Jack's birthday was also the NASA launch, we were outside waiting for it and I grabbed some pictures. Sadly it crashed (no one was hurt) and we were not able to see it in Danville.

Happy birthday my sweet boy. My 5 year old loves Legos and puzzles, bikes and shows, his family and school. His favorite food is pizza and chicken. He drinks only milk and water and is still rather particular about everything he eats. Currently he insists on having his pants and sleeves rolled up so they don't touch his ankles and wrists. He loves to play with his sisters and follows along with any game Lilly wants to play. He is learning to write and for the first time has taken an interest in coloring and writing letters. He is also more interested in stories and will let us read to him. He is most definitely a lego and puzzle genius, much like his older sister. You can find him playing Legos any time of the day. We love our Jack.

A Knoebels Halloween

Every fall Knoebels is open for a few weekends for their Halloween fest. Everything is decorated for Halloween and the rides are haunted. Good fun during the day time for kids. This year, my neighbor and I took our kids together while the husbands worked.
