In the car today whike waiting for Gda’s dr appt to end the kids were running thru my car like a playground and this is what I hear, “Ahhh we are crashing the school bus into the school! Oh no our wheel is stuck. Hurry Grace hop on my magic surf board! Wowwww you have a mahic surf board.”

My kids were working on a surprise for me. I had to close my eyes. I opened my eyes to a winter wonderland. Cotton balls everywhere. 2 bags full. They asked my to buy cotton balls but said it was a secret for what they were for. They whispered theor plans to the lady behind me in line at the register. She told them ooo mommy will loce that! I’m still cleaning up cotton balls. That was 2 weeks ago. I love these kids and all their big & messy ideas. Can’t wait to show them real snow one day.

When your sweet boy draws you a portrait and the body shape is all too telling. Time to get fit so my little picaso can paint me in something other than a moo moo. Can’t say its not accurate. 🙈

Thanksgiving has come and gone. Oh & so has Christmas 😂😂 but just so my kids can look back at family photos one day here are some of my favorite. I am extra thankful this year for these little turkeys!

Timmy says, “Mom its great having a pet baby.” 😂😂 poor Lydia

When I take one kid out they always want to buy a soecial surprise for the one at home. Its so sweet. Timmy just picked out a penguin ornament for Gracie.

We watched The Santa Clause tonight and Timmy kept giving Tim this weird look so I said Timmy are you ok. And he says I’m thinking mom but its a secret. He whispers in my ear I think Daddy is Santa and he doesn’t know it yet. I bust out. Tim is growing out his beard for the church play and you could say he still has dome baby weight to work off. It was hilarious. All night Timmy was gibing him the side eye.

Grace is really into independent play lately. It is so sweet listening to her talk for her barbies or her babies and even her stuffed animals. The comversations are always so sweet and about how much they love each other.

Whenever my kids lose an eyelash they want to make a wish. I don’t know where that cane from. But today Gacies wish was for Timmy to get a rocket ship to take her to the moon.

Grace says her one wish to Santa is that all her toys cone to life. Specifically she would like a talking flower. Might be a sad Christmas 😂

Timmy got shots today at the doctor. He screamed bloody murder, then said oh thats it thats not too bad and then thanked the nurse. 

So at the dr office today timmy brought his lizard book and says to the kids do you guys want to see a lizard that is hard to catch? But you know who can catch any lizard? My friend uncle tom.

Grace is “fishing” off the side of the bed with Tims belt and yelling yeehaw.

My sweet little girl is such a ray of sunshine. Honestly just huge smiles and man burps all day!

She’s starting to babble and drool. She chews on her fingers like they’re made of candy. She is able to grasp toys and hold up her head. She’s wearing 6 month clothing, sometimes 9 months in pjs. Lol. Chunky? Yes. Definitly! And we wouldn’t have it any other way. She is a butterball.

There is something so very special about buying your little girl her first pair of ballet slippers. All my mana dreams came true seeing my Sweet Gracie get ready for her first ever dance class.

Typically Grace will cling to my leg if Timmy isnt there to introduce her to new things or even new friends. Shes very shy without her big brother. Not at dance. You can tell she feels very comfortable. I really feel like dance might be her thing. She’s very attentive to her teachers instruction and she absolutely loves her dance girlfriends. Its really been good for her to have this special time that is all about her.

I’m so proud to watch her and I can not wait for the Christmas pageant. 

These two love each other so completely but man they fight just as hard. This seriously just happened and I cant help but laugh like a crazy person…

Timmy starts crying. 10 seconds later Grace is crying even louder. They run in to tell on each other. Grace pinched Timmy and Timmy hit Grace.

Why you ask…

Well they were pretending the couch was a boat and Timmy stole Grace’s motor. So I suggested Timmy return the pretend motor. Unfortunately I was informed that the motor in question sunk to the bottom of the sea. These kids are nuts but oh so cute!

It’s November 2nd and yes we jumped right into Thanksgiving crafts with our Mom’s Ministry.

I am so thankful for these mama’s. I love that we all want to bring our kids closer to Jesus and that we can do it together.

Today we made a cute turkey craft that Aunt Jessica picked up from Michaels. You gotta love sticker foam crafts thatdon’t  need any extra supplies. And it is especially nice when our children can do the craft all by themselves. It makes them so proud.

Then we made turkey pancakes for our lunch. They came out so cute. We used a big pancake and with honey glued on the baby pancake for our turkeys head. We used chocolate chips for eyes, fruit roll up as the gobbler {if thats the word} and a candy corn beak. Pretzels were our feet and fruit for our feathers. They kids really worked hard on these and they really enjoyed pouring extra honey on before gobbling it all up.
