Christmas Eve Pictures

With the cousins!  I didn't get many pictures because it was so chaotic at our house! :)

Baby Cousin

 Savannah says that when they grow up they can have tea parties together. :)

Isaac is so gentle with her. :)

Savannah & Isaac love their baby cousin Lizzie!

Red and Green...

 We made some spice cookies the other day.  Savannah & Isaac can really pour on some sprinkles!

Some things we've been doing...

 Tracing letters.  This first one is Isaac's. He likes to color over everything after he trace's the letter.

 Savannah's.  They are both left- handed, although I think Savannah is ambidextrous. She starts with the left and switches up often.

Painting on the concrete patio. (with water)

Smiling!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

The "Mad Face"

Savannah and Isaac were tracing their letters, and I heard Savannah giggle.  She had turned her paper over and drawn a face on the other side, complete with "angry eyebrows".  She said, "Mama, she is not happy, she is MAD!" (another giggle) Then she embellished the eyebrows a little more.  :)

A Nature Walk

 We had a picnic the other day, at a local state park. After our picnic we took a little walk. I was excited to get some good pictures! I love these beautiful fall days.

 

 We found some really pretty mushrooms.  They reminded me that mushrooms are poisonous, unless we buy them from the store. We have had these discussions before, since they love to eat mushrooms. But NOT outside ones!  I remember reading that orange ones are very poisonous.

 Mushrooms are very interesting and pretty to look at.

 He "climbed" this tree - just the very lowest branches. I got several cute pictures.

I love this one!

Goodbye, October - Part 2

"October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came - The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, the leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, and everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band." ~~~~~~~~~~~  George Cooper, October's Party
