3 fun events in 1 day

Reality has struck and I realized that it could be only 8 weeks till we welcome our little bundle into this world if he too decides to make an early appearence. So that being said I'm finding fun things to do with the boys. On Saturday we decided to fill up our day with 3 fun things going on that day. First we started off at Home Depot and made wagons. The boys did a great job hammering and gluing. Then we went over to church for the Night in Bethlehem. They had many fun projects for the kids to do painting ornaments, making cookies, stencil painting, making a coaster out of little tiles, origami, and punching metal with a wooden mallet and nail. To end our day we headed off to Candy Lane in the snow. Thankfully mimi was able to help out with all 3 of these things or it wouldn't have been possible. The boys loved the park, especially #1. He got on the rides all by himself and requested to sit with other kids he didn't even know. A huge improvement from last year.

#1 is on the right motorcycle

#1 is on the left, he asked the little boy if he could sit with him. The helicopter went rather high in the air, I was impressed to see that he enjoyed it and didn't get scared.

#2 not so sure about those horses

checking out the manger scene

painting ornaments

building the wagon with out daddy since he had volunteered to take pictures and the churches Christmas event. I'm thrilled to say that we completed the project and didn't mess them up

Christmas Season

We have begun the Christmas season. The pictures of the boys decorating the tree unfortunately turned out blury, I'll be sure to get pictures of them removing the ornaments instead, of which they have already begun to do. Today we did some painting, #2 preferred to paint his face and stick his paintbrush up his nose and in his ear and he even gave the brush a lick or 2. Thankfully he did manage to get some of the paint on a piece of paper. #1 picked out a nutcracker at the craft store to paint. He is very proud of it too!

#1 licking the batter from the gingerbread cookies

This pic is a bit hard to see but they were looking at the lights and I thought it was cute :)

#2 was just being cute so I thought I'd grab a picture

eating the first cookies of the season (many more to come)

#2 trying to bite one of the christmas balls :) that is why we have non-breakable ornaments :)

Thanksgiving Day

We spent Thanksgiving at Mimi and Pappy's house.  The boys enjoyed playing with all of their cousins.  The house was definitely wild with 7 kids running around...and to think there will be 8 next year at this time :)  (7 of those being boys)  We might have to purchase a wrestling mat for next year or teach them to play football.  I seem to forget to get my camera out each Thanksgiving, I did manage to snap a few pictures before everyone left, and I got some of my moms pics.  







I think we might have to sign #2 up for some rock climbing lessons

We finally have some pictures :)

The boys decided to use their sandbox, and in it they found a cricket.  #2 decided to beat it with his shovel but by the time I got my camera out #1 had rescued it and started to bury it in the sand then pick it up and tell it to smile for the picture



#2 observing pappy working on our food pantry/laundry room
#1 helping papa carry in the walls for the pantry
#1 cheered on papa and told him "yay good job papa"

my little "helper" likes to get into the food cabinent and get out items to stack or spread throughout the house

Hi! We're still here, sorry for the lack of pictures, we had to send my camera away yet again for a repair.  I got it back, took pictures and I am now awaiting instructions on how to operate my new (to me) imac bday gift so I can download pictures.  So hopefully by the weekend I'll be able to put up some more pics.  We're all doing well!  #1 is pretty much potty trained :) much to my relief I was afraid I'd have 3 in diapers.  He's absolutely loving school and is learning his days of the week and talking more and more every day.  #2 is a very very busy little boy getting into everything he can and putting everything in his mouth, edible and non-edible.  baby #3 is doing good, the docs are expecting me to go early again so we could possibly have us a valentines day baby, we will just have to wait and see.  Other than that we're keeping busy doing some remodeling in the kitchen,the hubby has been busy with his job and wedding consultations, and now we're getting ready for all the holidays and birthdays that are coming up.     This is probably the most you'll see me write on here, I prefer to do the whole picture thing :)  have a great Thanksgiving

A little more fall

We took yet another trip to pinchot to take a walk and to find "treasures" #1 took along his little wagon and collected acorns, leaves, rocks, and sticks.

#1's infamous LOOK

just plain cute

Great little boy photos :)
