Happy Thanksgiving!!

Last Wednesday was the boys Thanksgiving Feast at school. The fours invite their parents to lunch and sing a couple of songs. As you can see the boys were pilgrims. Mason was much more into eating than taking pictures. They are having such a wonderful year at school. Their teacher is wonderful. They have learned so much and are excited about going everyday. Now they are looking forward to the real Thanksgiving feast. Nathan's requirement is mashed potatoes and Mason's is pumpkin pie!! I hope each of you have a wonderful and safe holiday!!

Nemo on Ice

Nathan and Mason got to experience their first Disney on Ice yesterday when we took them to Finding Nemo. I didn't tell them about it until yesterday morning and when I did, thinking it was a great surprise, Mason's response was, "That's going to be boring. All we get to do is sit in seats and watch!!!" Not exactly what I was expecting. I told him he wasn't allowed to say that until after it was over. At that point he could either say, "Thanks that was great" or "That was boring". Of course they loved it. Boy do they milk you when you go to those things. It was $10 for a snow cone which included a souvenir cup and $10 for cotton candy which included a nemo hat!! I took our own lights so I wouldn't have to pay $20 a piece for those. Especially since we already have some! It was worth it, everyone had a good time. They are wanting to go to the circus now. Guess that will be our first adventure in 2008.

Ah, the things kids say!!!

I had to share a funny story. The other night the boys and I were riding in the car and the boys were in the back playing the "raise your hand if...game". You know the one, "raise your hand if your shirt is red", "raise your hand if your eyes are blue", and so on. After playing for quite some time, Nathan says, "raise your hand if you are big and fat". Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nathan then says, "hey mom, that's you!!!" Mason laughed like that was the funniest thing he had ever heard. I on the other hand didn't find it that amusing. I felt like I was in the car with a group of preteens, not four year olds. My, oh my, what my future holds!!!

Trick-or-Treat time

We had the most fun trick-or-treating last night with the boys. This was the first year that we haven't had to push around a stroller and deal with whiny, tired kids! They loved it. They knew just what to do. They even went to the scarier houses...anything for more candy!! Nathan started out the night in the costume you see, a sheep that Gigi and Nanny made for him. But it was too hot so he changed into a blue power ranger. Mason stuck with the spider all night. David said one day Mason was going to hate him for letting me put that hat on him!!! Nathan took a tumble at one point in the night. He got pretty scraped up, but Mason got his candy for him at that house and it was back to work. Nathan also got choosy by the end of the night. If the people weren't giving something he liked he just said no thank you and turned away!! I thought that was hilarious!! As soon as the night was over they started talking about Thanksgiving dinner. No rest for the weary.
