Heading Home

None of us our really looking forward to the trip home. T has been asking for his Daddy alot and has gotten to talk to him on the phone some. Jade wants to stay here with Nenee. She has no desire at all to go home; and she won't speak to or kiss Nenee goodbye in hopes that we'll wait until she does before we leave. Well, you can't leave until you kiss me bye, right?
Wrong, we gotta go!!! Sorry Jade.

Thanksgiving at the Zoo

The zoo had free admission for Thanksgiving. We got to see lions, elephants, monkey and lots of other really cool animals. Jade and T LOVED it! T hung out with Aunt Marie alot. He really attached to her.

On Lake Eerie

Since we've been in Ohio, the kids have gotten really sick. They each had fevers and T hasn't slept very well. He didn't play here for long before he was ready to go, so we went to the car and let Nenee and Jade have their fun.
T is pretending to throw up in on of the pictures, I don't remember why; but he is such a kidder!!
Jade loved the sand. I'd say next to the zoo, this is a close second. She loves rolling in it, running in it, and throwing it. The messier the better- YUCK!

At Mom's for Thanksgiving

We went to mom's for Thanksgiving this year. It was soo much fun. It took us 3 days to get out there, but that's because the kids made me stop as soon as it got dark. It was a good thing though, I got tired, too!
We had our own apartment, it had 2 bedrooms and a big living room for the kids to run around in. They were glad to be free from the car. All that stored up energy was let go!! T made a great horse for Jade to ride. He had to fake riding on her. Blah!
We also went to the mall to see Flushed Away and got Dip & Dots out of a machine in the movie theatre. That was a huge hit with the kids. T loved seeing Rudolph there, but Jade wasn't having it.
We went to the Children's Museum and had a great time. Our favorite part was playing on the PVC pipes like drums. Next to running around the outside of the building. (Which was free!)

Our Superhero!

Sometimes he's our Spider man, sometimes he's Superman. You can mostly tell by his actions. If he's jumping off the furniture and saying, "Swoosh"- He's Superman. If he's Spider man, he'll hang on the furniture and climb up the arms of the couch singing, "Spider man, Spider man". Often, he will ask me if he can wear a towel. He loves these towels and they make him invincible, unless he has to put on underwear, then the towel loses all its power! Once I convince him to put on his underwear, he'll flip the towel off his head, I've picked them up and said here T, let's put this back on. He always says, No I don't want it.

Elgin Tree Farm

We went to a Christmas Tree Farm for our tree. We took a tractor ride and they had a playground and a bean bag toss. A lot of kids were there and an older boy (@7) was standing at the top of the playscape and pegging the kids below with the bean bags. Then he'd slide down and pick up the bags. T picked a bag up and went over toward the picnic tables and was tossing it in the air. The boy ran over and snatched it from T, and then headed back up the playscape. I got up when T started fussing at the boy, but before I got to him Jade ran over and put her arm around T. She said," What's wrong T?" To which he replied a bunch of babble that could not be understood. Jade sat him down and went to the playscape where the boy was throwing the bean bags. She grabbed one up and took off. She ran to the far end of the play area and covered the bean bag up with leaves. Then she ran away from the buried bag. When the boy ran past them, he picked up all the bags he could find, and headed back up the playscape. Then, she went back to the buried bag, uncovered it and handed it to T. She said, "Here you go T", patted him on the back and went back to playing on the playscape. So, I sat back down.

JT also got stung by a bee on his tongue. I think he was taking a drink from my water bottle and a bee must have been on the tip. He cried and pointed to his tongue. I had to hold his mouth open and pry out the stinger. I was worried his tongue would swell up, or he may have an allergic reaction- but he didn't. He only had a slight bump right where the stinger was.

Ky's & Jade's Pony Party

Jade and T spent the night last night with Aunt Kylene at
Grandma & Pa Pa's. She was on a walk with them this morning when we came to pick them up. Jade is really excited about their party tonight. We met Aunt Ky at Party City so Jade and Ky could pick out their party stuff. Then we headed to the mall to see the Carebears.

We stayed for storytime and then

went to lunch at Fudruckers.
Jade and T had a fun time
aggrevating their Mama
by playing "See food" GROSS!

We had Calzones from Gino's for dinner.

You and Aunt Ky had a "My Little Pony" party
and she picked out the cake. It was 1/2 chocolate
and 1/2 vanilla cupcakes with a pony top,

that made it look just like a sheet cake.

Jade got lots of fun toys. Grandma and Pa Pa gave her walks and neighs! Aunt Kristina and Uncle Rick gave got her thea pony that really Vtech Art Studio she's playing with in this picture. She also got a fancy dress and gloves from her Aunt Ky and Uncle Jeff. Aunt Jefra and Uncle Ryan got her a Carebear and a Carebear DVD.
