Week 47: Thanksgiving and reunion



Invited into the cockpit!

Dinner with Grandpa

Playing outside and picking pomegranates and pears

Playing inside, making beautiful music

Dinner at Dragonfly. Both boys used chopsticks and said shrimp was pretty good.

Entertainment for the week included Teen Titans Go and nyan cat youtube videos.

A vacation would not be complete without a trip to Chuck E Cheese.

Making tortillas, or 'tillas as Charlotte says

Playing in the sticker book with Grandpa

Time at the park

Donuts and ice cream

Painting pinewood cars in the workshop...

...and so determined to build his own "car."

On the road to Carlsbad/Loving


At the reunion

Bunks in the trailer

Field trip










Boat ride






Birthday party. They had three piñatas.

First up, Minnie.

I don't think she gets the whole piñata thing, or at least didn't see the need for total destruction. She was so sad to see Minnie in pieces.

Next up, Peppa Pig.

Last was Pikachu, which was nearly indestructible. One of the teenagers was required to finally break it.

So much good Mexican food, and bread for Gabe.

They had so much fun with their second cousin, AJ.



Dancing with/to the mariachis.


Loving goodbyes.

Yum, the Rib Hut.


Goin' home.

Week 45: Another one down

We have a random assortment of photos from last week. It was the end of my visit to St. Louis, the kids spending time with Daddy, election day/no school, and Veterans Day (Zach in the parade with cub scouts)/no school. And apparently a week of selfies and dress up.
Time with nieces and nephews.





Thumbs up for breakfast with Daddy.

Entertaining the kids during their day off of school. We all headed to the polls when they opened at 6:30 (and got in line right in front of our eye doctor--small towns!). Zach said he voted for Spongebob on the kids ballot.

She was sad that the boys wouldn't put on any costumes...so I offered. The Thomas seemed much bigger before I put it on :) Later in the week she sat in my lap and said "You mine best friend." Such a sweetie!

Halloween

I'm sure I'll be late posting anything next week, so I wanted to go ahead and post my faves from Halloween!
