Thanksgiving Eve

Our tradition for the night before Thanksgiving is to go out to dinner as a family.  This year there was a new Disney movie out so we decided we wanted to go do that too.  Spending evenings with my family like that always makes my heart so happy.   Each one of these kids complete our family in their own special way and I'm so glad they are mine!

Sneaky Bode

Bode managed to find one of his Christmas presents that I bought early because they were on a good deal.  Not only did he find it but he opened it before I managed to stop him.  A part of me was so mad and the other part of me thought it was so funny.  I ended up letting him keep them because I can be a serious sucker for my kids and it ended up being one of the best decisions because they entertained him for a solid hour while I got some things done.  Thank you Rescue Bot Dinos!

Tessa Loves Food

We've started feeding Tessa more table food and we have yet to find anything that she does not like. Some of her favorites though is bananas, noodles, cooked carrots, green beans and avocados.  Whenever we are eating she will start saying mmmm, mmmm because she wants whatever we are eating.

First Snowman

On November 17th we had our first big snowfall and Emma and her friend Daxon had so much fun building a snowman.  They did it completely by themselves!!

Marketplace at School

At Corbin's school they had a marketplace for the 3rd graders.  Each kid was assigned a career and they were given a certain amount of money and then they had to go to each table and had to spend their money and buy things and they had to figure out how to budget to make sure they had enough money.  I was able to volunteer and it was so fun to sit and watch each kid.  Corbin was given the job of Physical Therapist.  I was at the chance table and kids kept coming back hoping they would get money instead of owe and one kid mentioned it was a lot like gambling which he was right.  Corbin and his 2 buddies have grown up so much the last couple of months and watching them count and budget money and shop for things made me realize that he is growing up way too fast!
