Nov Misc

It's been a great month! 

He insisted on wearing this sticker on his head to school and managed to keep it on all day. If I have any advice for parents of strong willed children it is to pick your battles. :) 
The most amazing bed head 



This morning the twins had an early speech appointment and Harrison had an eye appointment so Harrison came with me that morning.  8:00 appointments are not the easiest at our house and I was so proud of myself that we were on time until we got out of the car and I realized that Harrison had no shoes and one sock.  #momfail  To make the moment even more special I managed to run into one of the high up people at the hospital who of course immediately noticed our lack of footwear. Oh well! Another motto as of lately is #don'tsweatthesmallstuff 

At least we got to have a breakfast date while Andrew and Kate were at their appointment. These muffins are the best but they are messy!

Harrison also got to meet the therapy dog and then we  got to watch the life flight helicopter take off. All in all it was a great morning from the 4 year old perspective. 

We also managed to not have to get glasses for at least another year!

Oh Kate. Doing her very best NOT to smile for me

This guy will give me a good smile 

The expression you have when you can't get the bubbles open 

And when you get it! 



We love days with beautiful weather!




Hospital dinner date night 

"I need hug"- Kate

Someone else's ice cream always tastes better than your own 



First sucker!

They were hilarious with them 

Ninja Warrior birthday party for one of our besties 

Harrison was thrilled to be included with the big kids 





And the ultimate party favor for these boys 

We have found a Mexican restaurant about 20 mins away and it has become our favorite mid week date night 

Silly boy 

First french braid


"I sit in time out!"  They look real upset about their punishments...


Andrew's favorite toy lately "choo choo whoo whoo"

James's fundraiser prize- exactly what we have been needing 

Dinner out with Mom to support James's school 

A random man offered to take our picture 

Breakfast time!
Twin love 



So many talents around here 

Harrison went to the movies with his best friend and they had the theater to themselves 



Ice cream at the creamery at 10 a.m. 


Sometimes the spoon just doesn't cut it 


Still working on our photo shots 



These two have a special relationship 





Funny faces 

Making their own Ninja obstacle course and they convinced Nene to join in 
People ask me a lot where Andrew gets his curls from.  I think these pictures answer that question. :)





So happy to see Rebecca and Davis 

Counting pennies at Nene's house. I cringe just looking at this. 

Little carried away with the markers 

Learning to peel oranges 



Jump house fun 


Praying hands 

Reading night

Planting the pumpkin seeds. I highly recommend this. They were out there for over an hour!

I mastered making my mom's chicken and pastry 

Good bye Daddy hugs 
Dinner out with friends 



Crazy hair don't care 

These two still love the bike 


Just a little water play in November 


"mud soup" 


Friendsgiving!

9 adults and 12 kids ages 4 months to 7 years.  It was actually significantly less chaotic than previous dinners together. 

Cheers from the mamas! 

Our thankful turkey from Nene 

My little bookworm 

My little turkey 





So proud 



A lot of love for Nene 


"Mom I have two pajamas on so I will be cozy" 



Before A and K go to bed all four insist on hugs and kisses for each other 

So proud of wearing this necklace. Poor Andrew in the background...haha! 

Scavenger hunt from Ryan to the boys to find out about Great Wolf Lodge 

Andrew's pony tail lol
Always good to wear your helmet to pick James up from school 



We had a 20 plus min standoff between Andrew and I over picking up a fork he threw on purpose. We almost were late taking James to school but I was determined to win this one.  News flash buddy: there are two people in charge at this house and neither of them are you! 

Every morning that he awakes in time H waits to see Ryan drive away

One of Ryan's patients gave him this. We were thrilled, especially Harrison who loves fruit!


Birthday cake for Nana created by James and Harrison 




Happy Birthday Nana!
