cookies

Last year we started an annual cookie decorating night at our school.
All 3 of us Kindergarten teachers make all the cookies and everyone else brings things to decorate them! It's a fun time for us to get together with our staff and our kids! We take pictures and make a scrapbook of our night. It was fun to see how much they had grown since last year.

Well...we were eating dinner before we went and Eli got sick. So, we didn't get to go. Eli and I were bummed! So we decorated some of the cookies a little later. Eli wasn't up for it too much. He didn't even ask to eat one! We tried to make it fun! Oh well, there's always next year!

gift

I received one of the best gifts ever this year!
My aide in my classroom made this for me!

Yes...made it!
She hand painted EVERY little piece on here!

I LOVE IT!

She said she thought it was something fun for me and the boys to do!

She was absolutely right!

We've had so much fun.

By the time we are done, we will have the whole nativity scene.

Perfect!

Hello Woody!

So, I bought these pajamas for Eli.
They are Toy Story; Woody and Buzz Lightyear!

I didn't realize he would want to wear them to play in!

This was the day he decided to be Woody!

I kept hearing, "There's a snake in my boot!"

I love this kid!

preschool

Eli's preschool put on a Fall program.

They'll have a Christmas one next year!

I took time off work to come and watch it, then I took him to lunch.

Here he is; happy, excited to start the program.

This would be where he started wining, crying for me. Seriously? I have such a Mama's boy on my hands!

He moved his square over by me and then he participated. I had to give my camera to someone across from me so I could get some pictures of him! All I could see was the back of his head!

Cute turkey cookies afterwards!

2 of Eli's friends from preschool; Brody and Jace!
His "Thankful Turkey" says; toys, my mama, my daddy, my baby brother, my friends.

Sweet boy! We are thankful for you too!

cousins

We don't have a big family.
My boys only have 1 cousin.

So...they LOVE him to pieces!

Kisses and lovin for Josiah!

Love it!

I'm pretty sure he loves them too!

You should have seen his face when they were lovin on him!

messy boy!

What a messy boy!

But, how you LOVE spaghetti!!

(This was a close as Daddy would get to you!)

Good thing it was bath night!

Halloween

We had Spiderman and Monkey at our house this year!

First...both Grandparent's houses!
I think we should make this an annual thing! 8 kids...all 4 and under!

Then back to the house for pumpkin bars and hot chocolate! Yummm!
And...a bowl full of candy!

It was fun to get together with our friends and the kids! It's fun to see how much they have changed since last year!

Happy Halloween!
