Big Kids

We went to the first basketball game with all three kids where we actually watched the game!
We had a wonderful time.
And Pete was still in his big boy pants. :)

Mom and Dad bought a new big screen tv. They believe in buying their own early birthday presents. Must be why they are so hard to shop for. :)

And we had our first snow today! Light, fluffy flurries. So pretty.

I bought Polar Bear cookies for the kids today from Starbucks. They were so cute! Loved them! And the lady boxed them up nicely for me, even with Starbucks stickers. I was afraid I would break them on the way home. :)

It's cold today. Winter is definitely here.

Kids just went to sleep. It's 10:00. Late night, but lots of fun. :)

This One's For You Linda :)

We celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. The kids are at the age where they are really starting to remember each other and play together so well. It's such a joy to get together and so wonderful to see family. Always reminds me that we need to get together more often. And my personal vow is to keep up with this blog, so this one is for you Linda. :)
But most importantly, it's for the kids.

We had a wonderful break, but the kids were extra out of sorts this morning. But big boy Petey Pie went to school in his big boy pants!!! When he decided he was ready, he was ready. We'll see how he makes it through the day, but he was SO proud of himself, and did NOT want a diaper on. :)

I cleaned out the basement yesterday. The kids can actually find their toys now, so Pete has been playing with all his "race cars" and trucks, even carrying around a ramp. The girls found their arts and crafts, and have had endless hours of fun going through the tubs of stuffed animals, figurines, polly pockets, pom poms, babies....you name it. I got rid of two bags for daycare care, and one for garbage. Love to purge. :) Have to make room for more at Christmas. :)

I'll will add more pictures soon. Christmas will be here before we know it! :)
