Tree Lighting and First Snow

I came to my camera tonight thinking I had so many photos to add. Apparently I have been thinking about taking pictures more that I have actually been taking the pictures. Needless to say, I don't have that many to add but I do have a few cute ones from the tree lighting we went to and from the kiddos have fun sledding for the first time this winter. The B-man has really discovered sledding....and he loves it! The big kids had already discovered the joys of sledding and they are alway anxious for the first good snow fall. We have a nice slope in the back yard so they are happy to just be out there. The neighborhood kids quite enjoy it too. I like it because I can keep an eye on them from inside the house....my favorite warm spot. Usually with a nice, hot cup of coffee in my hands!
Enjoy out little bit of winter cheer!

New Design

Here is a new design that I am doing that has not made it on the website yet..but I am very excited about it. I have already sold quite a few of these. It was first designed for a friend who had a Dutch Grandmother who used to say to her..."Remember Yesterday, Dream about Tomorrow but Live for Today." Hence the three words on the bracelet. We shortened it a bit to get to the point. I think it is just a really fun bracelet.

For Daddy-A"s Haircut

Abanna really wants Daddy to see her new haircut...even if this cut took place about two weeks ago and really looks nothing like this anymore. Oh well, it is a very cute cut-especially when we take the time to dry it and do it up right. What a darling little girl! Keep smiling!

Thanksgiving Feast

Yesterday was the Thanksgiving Feast at B-Man's Preschool. They came in all dressed up in little costumes that they made and then sang the most adorable "plump little turkey" song. It was so cute it brought tears to my eyes. Because I was crying through most of it I did not get any great pictures. They are all a bit blurry. One should never let a bluthering mother take pictures! It just doesn't turn out well.
It was a great little feast of chicken nuggets, applesauce and corn. Topped off with some yummy pumpkin and sweet potato pies. B-Man had fun...and later last night promptly got very sick. Went to the doctor this morning to find out that we have the first case of croup that this family has ever had. FUN, FUN!

Halloween!

I thought you all might enjoy some Halloween photos. They are just random...some from B-Man's class and some from Trick-or-Treating. No matter what the kiddos are doing...they are just plain cute!

Making Ghost Cookies

We made Halloween Cookies for B-Man's preschool class today. They are having their Halloween parade tomorrow and their little celebration. This is the B-Man's first real Halloween that he understands (sort of) what it is all about- that he gets to dress up and get lots of candy! I think the Nutter Butter Ghost cookies turned out really cute. We can't wait to share them with the class tomorrow!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Today was pumpkin day...the day that we all go and pick out our pumpkins. Everyone gets to pick one out. This is quite a process...believe me. Who knew we had such indecisive people in our house? H. found one that was a bit misshapen...and we had fun with that one. I will let you use your imagination and see if you see what we saw! Check out our photos and enjoy a little Halloween cheer. BOO!

Swiss Fun

Here are some fun photos of the kiddos goofing around.

It was a total SPORTS Weekend

Just wanted to give the photo update of our total all-sports weekend -or I should say all-sports Saturday. We started the day on Saturday with Hayes' Flag football practice and then had his game. We just after that to grab lunch and then head to Annalise's soccer game. The "Coconuts "(as Annalise's team is known as) totally dominated the game. I must say they really seemed to enjoy themselves. Then it was off to the Colorado Rockies Baseball Game that night--where, sadly, they did not dominate. I hate to report that the Rockies lost and Houston went home the victor. We did enjoy pizza and dippen' dots so it was not a total loss for us! Enjoy the photo journal of our "Sports" Saturday. We all had a ball. i wish every Saturday could be that fun!
