Gingerbread House


The finished product. He is so proud.

Dace told me that I put to much frosting on this poor little

snowman and now he looks like the "avaluable snowman".

I think he meant the abombinable snowman! (spelling?)

I think he ate more candy than he actually put on

the house. He was so excited to do this. This is the

first time we have done this. It was really fun.

Following Instructions

This is this past summer when we re-did our basement. I had to run to the store to grab a few things for our painting job that we were currently in the middle of. I specifically told Jake, "Dont let Dace get into the paint." I was gone all of about 20 minutes at the most. I came home to my little sweetheart, completely covered in paint. I said to Dace, "what are you doing"!!!! He said, " Painting and getting snacks for Dad and his friend". I go downstairs in a panic thinking "Men Painting" to find Jake and Briant (Jake's friend) painting my downstairs. AHHHHHHH. Jake was so excited to tell me he had recruted some help, and Dace was so excited to show me the good job he had done painting.

Sidewalk Chalk

Dace has just recently been into sidewalk chalk. He loves to write names, names and more names of anyone he can think of. He did though, draw this dinosaur which he said was a Stegosaurus. I though it looked just like one. He did a pretty good job.

Coint !

Everytime that Dace gets something new, He immediatly wants to give it a name, make it a bed, and carry it around until he eventually looses it. This is an old coin that Jakes grandpa gave to him. Dace was so excited he named it Coint and put it in his bed with him. He was complaining to Jake that it kept getting lost in his bed, and that it needed a bed of its own. I came home to a very excited Dace....Jake had hand sewn this little envelope with a button ( Hand sewn), and also made it a nice little bed with some padding. I could not believe the sewing skills. I have to say I am quite embarrassed. I probably could not have done this, and probably would not have even attempted it.

HUNTING!!!!!!!

Nothing says hunting like a new bow, a new pair of hunting boots, and a new camo outfit for Crew. I think that Jake was more excited about these things than the boys were.

Crew

This was my favorite picture of Crew that I took on Halloween. I forgot to post it with the other Halloween pics. I had to post this one, because he was actually cooperating for this picture.

HALLOWEEN 2008

The Kids had a great Halloween. Bronx was a puppy and Crew was a pony. Dace was an army man and Taija was a snow princess. Dace got so much cany at his preschool party that we did not have to do much trick-or-treating. We went through all of Dace's candy and looked at all the stuff he had, and I asked Dace what is your favorite thing that you got. He held up some pretzels that you dip in cheese, and said I am really excited about this one. What !!!!! I could not believe it... If I would have taken all of the good stuff out already.

Preschool Pumpkin Painting!!!

The kids got to pick a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch and then they got to paint it.
