Cracking Peanuts

What do you do when you need some peace and quiet and the FedEx man just dropped off a box full of Styrofoam peanuts? You ask your four year old to break all the "S's" into little pieces and be prepared to clean up a mess when quiet time is over :)

Words from AJ

We have noticed recently that AJ is eating more - and that's a good thing :)

While having dinner one evening, AJ asked for more food than what was on his plate.

He said, "I need more food because my appetite has changed - to BIG!!"

We gladly gave him a second helping. Maybe he will break the 10th percentile on the growth chart by his next birthday.

Our Thanksgiving Weekend

Do you remember last year's Preschool Thanksgiving Pow Wow?

I was hoping we would not have a repeat performance this year. Especially when I was informed by JJ & his carpool buddy that their class would AGAIN be pilgrims. I was careful to ask the more easy going friend what he thought of the pilgrim costumes before I got JJ's opinion :) He was eager to be a pilgrim because the pilgrims shoot the turkeys and eat them for dinner! JJ agreed that pilgrims were pretty cool - whew!

As you can see, the Pow Wow was a success!

Our Thanksgiving weekend was fun. JJ loved the olives from the relish tray, eating them off each finger like Mama Fern taught him to :) AJ's dinner plate looked much like it did last year with the addition of a few carrots. I thought JJ would try my apple pie, but he decided instead to have a slice of the pumpkin pie cookie cake I made for the kids.

When the boys were asked what they were thankful for,
AJ said "God - because He made us."
JJ's response was "My boogers!"
Got to love my boys!

We finished the weekend with decorating our home for Christmas. JJ enjoyed putting ornaments on the tree getting excited about each one he remembered from last year. AJ preferred watching the football game on TV.

Hope your holiday was great!
