Thanksgiving Feast

Jack's class feasted today so Theo and I were there for all of the excitement! The kids made their own butter from whipping cream yesterday and used it on the rolls for lunch. The class had a spread of food and also got to paint symbols on a tortilla that was cut in half to fashion a small teepee. Then they made turkeys from oreos and candy corn. Very creative stuff!! The kids headed inside after the feast was over to play games and burn of all that sugar. That's when things got a bit chaotic for me. Trying to keep an eye on Theo, constantly checking that his pants were still dry, cleaning up the feast and taking pictures....... I felt like I needed a stiff drink when I left school. I settled for a 10 minute nap on the coach :) Thank goodness Jack's Christmas party falls on a Friday so I can come alone!

Wish not coming true

I buy rotissere chicken a lot for cooking (saves me a step) and have just started pulling out the wishbones for the boys. The boys know the drill now and much to Jack's chagrin, he's never gotten the bigger side. He erupted into full blown tears about it too. I mean, wailing. I guess Theo is just that lucky.

Snoopy is back

Yep, Snoopy is back again. We were busy today too! Jack had swim lessons and Snoopy got to watch (no doggy paddle for Snoopy this time) and then we whisked off to eat tacos with some friends. It sure was COLD outside. We celebrated Theo having NO accidents all day long with a Jr. Frosty from Wendy's. Pray tomorrow goes just as well, please!!!

Theo, Theo

This is what was waiting for me at school today...... 4 bags of soiled clothes from Theo. Yeah, really. He's cute but not this cute. Rewards and bribes don't seem to be making much of a dent (granted he's never had 4 accidents at school before, but really?? Four??). Theo!!!!

Bye Lauren

The boys are going to miss you, especially Jack. Playing Memory with Theo just isn't the same.

Lauren visits

My college friend Lauren came to visit this weekend from Dallas. Jack was only 9 months old when she last visited so we were super excited to have her come! My friend Betsy came out to the French Quarter with us last night. There might have been a karaoke song or two involved! We loved having you, Lauren!!

Red Bluff Farm

Jack's class went on a field trip to a local farm today. The weather couldn't have been better while we walked around and learned about the farm animals. Jack had fun but got tired out by the end since he's still a little weak from being sick all last week. Theo ended up tagging along at the last second and was very good. Just lugging him around on my shoulders tired me out, but otherwise he was great! We saw how dairy cows are milked, pet a lamb and goat, saw horses and chickens, took a hay ride, ate lunch in the shade, picked cotton and then pick a radish. :)
