It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!!

I am out of town all this week for work and since week is Thanksgiving so we decided to go ahead and put up our decorations on Sunday before I left. The kids were so excited and did a great job!

Helping me spread the branches.

Such good helpers!

I have to find the picture of them hanging this ornament on her first Christmas. So sweet!

Look at her face....so happy and proud!

Making sure we get the top!

Careful!

I did it!! She was so proud of herself!!

My little elves!! It cracks me up that Lindley has those cheeks! She's still so tiny, but has cheeks!! So fun!!

Ta-da!! It's perfect!!

They did their own trees again this year.

Looks good!

She didn't have a tree skirt so she took her baby blanket and put it under three!! LOVE HER!!

 

I can't believe it's already almost Thanksgiving! This year is flying!!

Playdate party!

The Nelsons' had a birthday party to go to Saturday night that was not "kid friendly". Heather asked if I could keep the kids. Jeff was working so I said sure! Lilly invited Madi over and we had a playdate party!!

Brody brought Ants in the Pants to play. They had a good time!! (once they stopped being competitive and decided just to play and have fun)

The girls worked on some color matching.

 

And some cooking

Lindley loves Brody!!

Time for Frozen!

These girls watched Diary of a Wimpy kid. They built their fort themselves. I've decided Madi could move in and we wouldn't notice. She fits right in and they always are so good and have fun!!

Overall, they were all really good! So lucky that my kids have good friends!!

Dinosaur fun!!

Mom and Dad found this cool place when they were out driving one day. I had to work Saturday morning so they took them to check it out. They had a blast!!

The sun was bright! Isn't this fountain cool?

Giant dinosaurs!!

Cool statue!

Seahorse!

Someone didn't want to be left out!

EWWW...picking his nose!

So fun!

Oh hey there dinosaur!

Stonehenge replica!

Look at the tall...he has come passengers!

Yehaw!

Pap and his rotten grandkids!!

 

Apparently this guy has a ton of money and bought these and randomly put them out on his land. The kids thought it was very cool!!

Look closely....there is someone hiding in the back!!

 

Thanks for a great day Mammaw & Pappaw!

Paint!

Believe it or not we still have parts of our house that haven't been painted. Hard to believe since we've been there two and a half years! Anyway, I've been wanting to do the hallway. It was gross and we have some paint leftover so I thought it would be a quick easy project. HAHAHA...I should know better right??

The conversation went like this:
Me to Jeff: Can I paint the hallway?
Jeff: If you get the paint I'll do it. Go ahead and get two gallons and we will do our bathroom too. It really needs to be done first.

Me: I don't want you to do the bathroom until we get a new seal for the shower and get it cleaned good. (The seal at the bottom of the door has been off for a while and it wasn't sealed good, which made it hard to clean).

Jeff: When you get the paint get a seal and I will fix it.

The next thing I know our shower door is off and completely apart......I just wanted to paint the hallway.

However, it did need to be done and he got it cleaned and put back up. He had to order the seal though. We did manage to get both the bathroom and the hallway painted.

We still have to hang pictures back up. It looks SO much better!! No more dirty handprints!!

We had a shower curtain, hung with shower curtain hooks over our window. I finally bought a curtain!

I got some pictures and candles. I want a shelf to put the candles on and of course we will hang the pictures.

 

The only room left is our bedroom. I am not sure it will ever get done. It's the place where things pile....like every wall has something stacked on it....maybe some day!!

Snowman Tree

My mom found the cutest idea for a tree this year and wanted the kids to help!

They were great helpers!

Time for the snow...

The end result!!

Can you tell this was Friday afternoon after a long week? LOL that's the best we could get!!

 

It is so adorable!!

A few random pics..

Just another day in the wild west!!!

This was after nap one day. She was quiet and then comes out like this. She had snuck in Lance's room. There is a ninja turtle mask in the hat. She took the hat off and put it on! I wish you could hear the sound effects. She's too much!!

This was the game Lance won from the silent auction. It's a card building game.

Yes...he loves it. No surprise.

 

They all do!

They built all kinds of things!

Even little bit!

 

We are so excited to be heading to Disney again this year!!! The countdown is on!

 

Someone got a hair cut!!!

Look closely.....Yes that's Lindley....she's "sleeping"

She and Lilly were playing and this where Lilly put her to bed (behind the couch). She was making snore sounds....so funny! It was like 5 minutes and she just stayed back there. She would holler at Lilly and Lilly would say "just a minute". Hilarious!!
