Our Thanksgiving

We got two other people to help us and put together a Thanksgiving Feast for the people who had to work at Paul's work.

When we got home we decided to put up Christmas Decorations.

Quite a few of our lights were broke, so we need to get some more. But this is what we got right now.


Then we made Jell-O jigglers.

Then we put up our Nativity while telling them the story.

Creative

Last week we wanted to make something, but were out of a lot of ingredients, so we made homemade dough to play with.

We cut out shapes.

Then put them in the oven.

While they cooled we went to a park. It was quite cold and windy, but still fun.

Emma was very happy and in fact mad when we put her back in her car seat to go home.


This is a great park. They have a sandbox filled with trucks and toys to play with.

Ephraim started with a hat on, but I couldn't keep it on him. I guess the cold didn't bother him.

We came home and had hot cocoa and watched a movie.

The next day we painted our creations. Judah and I had a lot of fun. Jacob did ok, and Ephraim barely touched them.

Pumpkin Seeds

We decided to cut open our painted pumpkins to eat the seeds. Judah enjoyed scooping them out.

And washing them off is always fun.

I saute them first.

Then baked them.

Judah, Ephraim, Paul really enjoyed them!

Underware!

The other day Judah insisted on wearing this! The boots are one size too small, but he didn't care.

He did not go out of the house in this!

Unfortunately, I was tired and not totally with it yesterday and didn't have my camera with me. We went to a new park and it had a very cool climbing thing, which is perfect for Judah. He has been climbing on anything and everything since he could move. The leaves were beautiful that day too.

Leaves, Leaves, and more Leaves

The weather has been beautiful and the boys have loved playing in the leaves. Even Emma enjoyed it.

Judah wanted a turn with the camera. Not to bad!

The really enjoyed swinging through a pile.

Of course just feet wasn't good enough for Judah, he had to use a stick as well.

If you look close you can see is tongue out in concentration. He gets that from his mom. I used to get yelled out in gymnastics for running with my tongue out.
