We are thankful for---Cuteness

To Jayden, cookie decorating is an art.

To Carter, it's simply a way to get more sugar on the cookie.

What's more fun than spraying root beer all over the kitchen?
Taking a bath in the sink of course.

Craft time!  Jayden LOVES glue!!

When it's too cold to play outside, it's good to have a playground inside.

Mommy wanted to try too.
Good helping Jayden!

When spiderman runs out of web.

So tired.

Carter's bunny ears.

Say hello to my little friend.

Hot chocolate at the zoo.

Yes!  With a few edge pieces to spare!

How many people does it take to make cookies.
Apparently at least one more :)

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Meet Climbing Dog.

And his new pilgrim friend, Carter.

How can you take something away from someone so cute?

Ready for snow!!!

What a good little helper

The kids' much happier take on American Gothic.
American Arctic.

Thumbs.....up?

This boy still loves snowmen!

E-man!

Dancing with Santa

Trimming the tree

Carter called dibs on the star

And now a word from Craig:

This has been a word from Craig.

An Early Fall

Trick or treat!

We found a little boy under all that hair.

This is what happens when the kids don't stay out of the way while Daddy is raking.

A funny face in the fallen foliage

Family fall fun

They love their daddy!

Family artwork.
Jayden drew the head and the "hair" (the red lines)
Mommy drew the face and hand
Daddy drew the scrubs
Good job team!

Carter showing off his creation

And another

Carter cut a hole out of this box with this little plastic toy knife (aka no sharp edges whatsoever).
Persistent when he wants to be.

Carter and his buddy found this big stick and carried it all the way over from those trees in the far background.
They later set it up on the playground as a "baby trap."
Mom put a stop to that.

Where is Carter?
(hint: he is the only kid upside-down)

Carter after falling out of our cherry tree

The next day.

Little miss cutie.  She looks so innocent.......

.....Until she finds the super glue.

.....And the sanding block.
(That is our car by the way)

But she always gets out of trouble.

She's good about helping Daddy with the car.

And helping with dinner.

And she always remembers her civic duty.

We chased this fly all over the house with our fly swatter.
It found it's end on a single strand of spider web.

The beard is ready to go.  Next week we get the belly.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
