Fun

 

They started being sumo wrestlers... they thought it was great fun.

Glow stick fun.

Pieper 4 years 4 months

Loves school
Talks about her Christmas program at school and tells me what parts all of the children are playing.
Tries to help all of the time and does a pretty good job.
Likes to tease Peter.
Still loves books.
Wants to drive home to Iowa at night?
Loves snow.
Sings all the time.  Now we get mostly Christmas songs...where would she get that? :)
Loves to move the furniture.
 Plays will all of her friends at school. She just named them all... I will save you.
Favorite color : pink and purple
Is very proud she can snap her fingers without trying to hard.
Wants everything she sees for Christmas but is sometimes worried Santa won't think she is being a good girl.
Sometimes has a hard time when Peter gets attention.
Likes to make snow angels.
Can get clothing on without and help... for some reason she keeps switching her shoes...
Thinks she should get an M&M for going potty like Pete.
Is pretty good at going to bed.
Loves to go anywhere.
Will very soon be a big girl way before I am ready.

Peter 2 years 9 months

He says 'na na na na ha ha' in the right place.
Has a dragon that lives in his tummy that will breath fire if you put your finger in there... unless he is sleeping.
Eats only when he wants to and mostly only what he wants to.
Does not like to go to sleep, AT ALL. Nightly battle.
Walks by the Christmas tree hitting all of the ornaments he can reach and he can really make them fly all over the room.
Is much better at getting his hair cut.
Talks all the time.
Is a daredevil most of the time unless someone else is doing the driving... like riding on a sled...he doesn't like to be pulled...
Doesn't like it when Pieper tells him no no but if I do it he just laughs at me... yes, I earned that one.
Will tell the teachers to have a good day when we drop her off at school.
Likes to scream...does it quite well unfortunately.
Obsessed with the magnifying glass at Pieper's school and a moving Thomas train.
Wants Jeff to be home every night. Asks for him if he isn't.
Doesn't like to have short pants on or pants like sweats that won't stay down.
Gets scared over funny things until you tell him to go be a shark or dragon to scare it ( mostly Pieper)
Thinks everything in the house is his.
Will rub a boo boo and very seldom cry about it for more than a couple of seconds.
When Stephen and Kate arrived he took them through the whole house for a tour...with out being asked.
Still loves his soft ' blankey'.
Sometimes he just wants to stay home. Not take Pieper to school or go anywhere.

We have snow!

And Pete went right to work!  We only have one small shovel... that is a problem as are most things that we have one of!

Thanksgiving.

                          We have been busy.  We were blessed with company for Thanksgiving.

Uncle Stephen learned all about dragons...

                                               Aunt Kate learned all about puppies.

Odin was a welcome addition to the party

Uncle Stephen brought a gingerbread house... I think just to eat the pieces.

                                     

                                                   Which both kids thought was great!
