My Big Backyard-November

Cuteness

He's either about to hug her or hit her. Not really sure.

Preschool Christmas Program

The only picture I got of Jack. My camera takes crappy pictures in the dark. Maybe Santa will bring me a new one? Hint hint Stephen.
Ella has never been one to turn down a meal.

Kate playing with the pizza toy. She enjoyed this toy so much that she left screaming "PIZZA!!!!" at the top of her lungs. All the way to the car. NIce. Needless to say, Santa is bringing one of these.

They Really Do Love Each Other

Even if they do fight like cats and dogs sometimes. Stephen just happened to catch them in a sweet mood.

Not So Snowy Nights at My Big Backyard

We went to My Big Backyard Saturday night. It was freezing cold, but we went anyway. They called it Snowy Nights so Jack was super excited to play in the "petend" snow. There was no snow-just a few tiny flakes blowing out this little fan thing. So small you couldn't even see it. Jack was disappointed but we had fun. We froze, but we had fun.

Just Because They're Cute

This Is What I Saw

When I went into the girls' room. Kate in her leotard and high heels, Jack naked. That one I can't explain.

Pilgrims and Artwork

Jack at his Thanksgiving feast.
Jack's class does alot of teacher directed artwork and projects. Ms. Sheryl will draw and then the kids will draw it. This is his attempt at a bumblebee. Not too bad but, of course, I'm his mommy. He says he is kind when, "I be at home." Well, most of the time. He also wrote his name-most of it. The pitchfork is his version of a k.

Angel In Front of the Tree

My sweet little Ella was dying to have her picture taken in front of the tree. I could just eat her up!

Sick

My poor, pitiful Kate. She's got the crud. Probably something Stephen brought home from the clinic. Bad cough, runny nose, fever. But she felt well enough to show off her apples. I'm just waiting for the other two to get it.

So, it's really hard to get a picture of two 2 year olds and a 4 year old. Everyone looking the same direction with a relatively pleasant look on their face. Sunday before church I attempted to do just that. The only problem was that Ella refused to give up the toothbrush and toothpaste. Dental hygiene is important to her I guess.

Halloween Party

Jack had his Halloween party at school a couple weeks ago. They fun decorating pumpkins and eating yummy treats.

Jack and some of his friends.

Zoo Day With the Girls

Kate didn't like sitting on the rocks.
Ella didn't mind.

The Evil Mouse House

Last week Jack's school had a fundraiser night at the place where that evil mouse has pizza and games that every grubby, nasty hand has touched. Chuck E. Cheese. I hate that place. But there was no getting out of going because they had talked about at school and Jack was SO excited. So off we went armed with boatloads of hand sanitizer. The kids had a great time. Jack was racing around from game to game like some sort of maniac on a pizza high. Hopefully, there won't be any more fundraiser nights for quite a while.

Zoo Boo

Jack and the singing pumpkins.
Mommy and two of my babies.

The girls enjoying their suckers. Needless to say, they were a sticky mess afterward.
