Happy Thanksgiving!

Connor had a Thanksgiving celebration at school yesterday. They did a little 'song and dance,' took a class picture, and had a feast - complete with turkey, green beans, frozen grapes, and a roll:o)

I don't think many of the kids touched the food, but it was pretty cute. All the grades were outside with decorated tables, and everyone had a turkey day 'crown' on. Awesome!!!

Sunday, a Day of Rest, Right?!

Will was working today so me and the dude busted out and headed to the beach. Got a bit of a late start, but it was so nice out today, and we had nothing better to do:o) Don't laugh, but I think our skin was in shock. We haven't been to the beach since school started the beginning of August. That's pretty sad when it's 10 minutes from the house and it's still in the 80s out here during the day. Next weekend, if it's not raining, we're busting out again!

Divine Revelation... or not so much!

We were talking the other day and Connor was counting... nothing earth shattering. He asked me how old I was and I told him. And he said he was 4, then going to be 5 and I said 'yes.' Then he asked if our age goes in the same order that you count and I said yes to that as well. He slapped his knee and started laughing insanely. He said "Are you kidding me?! I didn't know that!" You might have thought he just heard the best joke ever! Silly kid!

BOYS!

Chalk! Chalk! Everywhere! I do have to say that there were some really nice race tracks that were made on our sidewalk today:o)

Prior to the chalk extravaganza, the kids spent the afternoon taking rides.... on Connor's Tonka Dump Truck!!! We asked them to wear the baseball helmet for safety reasons but I couldn't come up with a mouth guard. Good thing no one hit Heather's house or her fence (too hard:o).

Shenanigans!

Talk about being busted.... Rocco isn't suppose to be on the couch, although it seems he 'sneaks' his way up there when Will is present. Amazing how that happens, and Will claims to know nothing. It's miraculous almost!

The Rainbow State...

It seems at some point every day the clouds pass over and we get a sprinkle or two, or three. And at least once a week we get to see a rainbow. They really are truly amazing, and we take them for granted since we see them all the time. So I thought we would share the rainbow in front of our house the other day.

Happy Halloween!

I'm a little behind on the Halloween pic, and there were only a couple taken since I was in bed all of Halloween and most of the day after. Totally missed seeing all my little trick or treaters:o( Halloween is one of my favorites, right behind Christmas. Oh well... what's the big deal about candy, right? Connor decided that he wanted to be a storm trooper from Star Wars and he got to use the blaster that he already had. Sweet! I knew that gun would come in handy sooner or later. Wish I was crafty enough to make him a costume but that would entail having and using a sewing machine... and I don't think I am quite ready for that one.
