Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We were so spoiled to have lots of family come and visit for Thanksgiving. Turkey day we traveled to my Aunt Debbi's house were we met up with my parents, younger brother, sister and her family. Next we headed to my cousin Heathers for Thanksgiving dinner. Lots of yummy food and great company. My family was able to stay a few more days. On Saturday we headed to the city. First up the Children's Museum then a walk around the city and the Space Needle. To end the night it was dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. I hope everyone had fun. We loved having family come and visit. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Bella's Backpack

Bella can be quite the girly girl when she wants to. She loves to play dress up, meaning putting on Isaac's clothes, my belts and jewelry, changing her shoes a billion times a day. She has also developed a bag fetish. I have to keep the mud room door closed at all times to prevent her from emptying out my purses and bags so she can carry them around the house. A wonderful friend gave us this cute backpack that Bella absolutely loves. She insists on wearing it all the time.

No Nap on Sunday

We have church at 1:00 pm which is right when the kids take their nap for the day. So church can be a little hard for them and me. After church is over I usually put the kids down for a short nap for my sanity. The down side to this is that they dont want to wake up at 5:30 and eat dinner and they really dont want to go to bed a few hours later. So I decided to give up a little bit more of my sanity and have no naps on Sunday. The first time I tried this everything went fine and the kids went to bed early which is a bonus. The second Sunday with no naps didnt go quite as planned. Isaac couldnt make it all day without a nap and ended up crashing on the couch. Its a good thing our church time changes to 9:oo am in January.

Hanging out at home

The kids and I all have a bit of a cold so for the last few days we have been home in our pj's. Its been fun to have some down time and stay at home for a few days. We havent had to get up and get ready for preschool or my workout group. So its been quiet and relaxing and silly. I think we are all a little nutty from so many days at home and cant wait for the weekend. Reuben will be gone all weekend so I have been trying to think of something fun the kids and I can do. Reuben got us free tickets to the Childrens Museum so that is at the top of our list. As of right now we are up for anything that will get us out of the house.
