p365- Christmas is coming!

Nov 25th

A fun cousin day at Pumpkin's favorite park!  Love these little monkey's climbing up the slide.

Nov 26th

The girls have discovered their pajamas Or "fuzzy-wuzzies" as Sweet Pea calls them are great places to hold their favorite stuffed animals.

Nov 27th

The girls helped decorate the tree this year with very little input from Mommy and Daddy.  Most ornaments are on the bottom and they get moved almost daily!  We love our family tree with memories in every ornament on our tree.

Nov 28th

Happy Birthday to my dad!  We had a family dinner at a local pizza place and then took family photos.  This will be the first Christmas in about five years where we are all together!  It's going to be noisy and a little crazy!

Nov 29th

Craft time!  We picked up little paint sets at the dollar store and the girls had fun creating with them.  I love how creative they are!

Nov 30th

She bundled herself up and fell asleep in my bed!  We love her little free spirit and the fun outfits she comes up with.

p365- Random November memories!

Nov 9th

The girls and I went to CUSD's Band Night.  All ten (can you believe there are ten now?!?!) intermediate and high school bands performed.  My oldest niece performed with Kastner.  If you look closely she is in the front on the right playing flute with red sleeves.  

Nov 10th

Getting in the car from school and she told me "this is my slingshot!"  I was laughing and thinking how proud Daddy would be of her imagination!

Nov 11th

Now it's Pumpkin's turn to not feel well.  Mommy of the year award goes to me.  She was telling me she didn't want to eat and was cold.  I told her she had to eat and unfortunately she proved that she really didn't feel well by ruining her dinner.  Hopefully the sickies will leave our family for awhile!

Nov 12th

Playing out back with our friends!  

Nov 13th

While Daddy and his friends cut down some trees on our property our nephews got to help.  I've seen my husband ride on the forks of the forklift many times.  Apparently it's a family trait!  These are two of my nephews riding the forks!

Nov 14th

Sweet Pea loves to feel the fan blow her hair!  She knows she is not supposed to but sometimes its hard to resist!

Nov 15th

Look who has Huggy Bear again!!!  She was so excited to have him home again!  

Nov 16th

Another Mommy project!  I'm so excited it is almost done!  I just have to add the large numbers on the side and fix the cloud at the top.  This is a growth chart to hang in my laundry room.  Keepsake and a cute decoration!

p365- Cysts, Crafts, Camerawoman, Clothes, and a Rainbow!

Nov 1st

So Halloween is over, yet the costumes are still fun!  Miss Pumpkin came home from school and showed us this large bump on her palm.  She had had a few falls on Halloween night while playing with cousins and trick or treating.  After a quick trip to the doctor we learned it was a Ganglion cyst (also known as a Bible cyst- google it!).  It scared Mommy a little since it was so big.  We will learn more when we meet with a specialist in two weeks.

Nov 2nd

Craft time with Mommy!  I was scrapbooking, Pumpkin was coloring, and Sweet Pea asked if she could cut.  This was the first time I let her use scissors and she did great!  Her school allows kids to explore so I'm sure she has been practicing.  In no time I'm going to have two little scrapbook buddies!

Nov 3rd

Pumpkin LOVES to take pictures.  For a few days she had my point and shoot camera and was taking pictures of everything!  Maybe it's time for her to learn how to zoom. . . 

Nov 4th

Another Pumpkin picture!  Papa and Sweet Pea!  I think her skills are improving!

Nov 5th

Again Mommy allowed the girls to color with markers and walked away . . . When Sweet Pea came in and showed me her very pink/red mouth she got a little embarrassed.  This is her "I know I'm in trouble so I'm going to look pathetic and maybe you'll give me a hug instead of a time-out" face.  

Nov 6th

Look who got new clothes?  Apparently they felt the need to put everything on at once and then dance on the fireplace!  At least they will be warm this winter, even if they do not match!

Nov 7th

Daddy called and let us know there was pretty rainbow outside.  Pumpkin and I went looking on our way to pick up Sweet Pea from school.  So pretty! 

Nov 8th

Poor Sweet Pea had a rough tummy day and got confined to the couch. Our first sick day of the school year. . .not bad for us!  I was so excited to have made it through Oct without a sick doctor visit with one of my kids.
