Playing Outside

With the new addition of grass to our backyard the kids have been enjoying the great weather and playing outside a lot. Their favorite toy is the screen door though.

Vacuuming

While Joslyn is still scared of the vacuum, or at least thinks its great fun to hide when we use it, Seth loves the vacuum! He thinks it is the best thing ever when we suck his hair up or catch his pants, but his all time favorite thing about the vacuum is when we put it on his lips.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving this year was different than years in the past for our family. We used to get together with my Mom's side of the family and have a very large Thanksgiving dinner. Since my grandmother past away earlier this year, it was decided that each family would have their own Thanksgiving dinner.
We had ours at my brother's house. It was a lot of fun. My contribution this year was mashed potatoes. I also made an apple pie. It was my first time making a lattice crust.

After dinner, we went to my parents' house and I put up their Christmas lights while the kids and the dads played. We must have been having a really great time because these are the only two pictures I got of the whole day.

Orange Slices

One of the perks of having your mom work in a school cafeteria is that she brings home lots of sliced oranges. Joss is a super big fan of this perk especially. She has even learned to wear them. :)

Kids Always Love Boxes

Joslyn is no exception to the stereotype that all kids love to play with boxes. Joss could play with one for days and never be bored. Here she is just relaxing in one of the many boxes that we get from Costco.

Biker Chick

Joslyn loves to ride the bikes or scooters at her grandparents house. She has gotten pretty good at it too. She loves that she can ride around like one of the big kids.

Cuddle Time

Seth is a big cuddle bug. He loves to give me hugs and kisses and just plain be cuddled up with me. He also loves his super soft giraffe blanket. He is always going back to his crib to get it so he can snuggle up with it.
