In Living Color

Black and white just doesn't do it justice.

The tree...trees....

 Searching is the most fun.

 Pete made sure to show us all of the trees he was taller than this year.

 We found it!

 Daddy goes to work.

Believe it or not seeing these things get wrapped up it a lot of fun... :)

 They both get trees in their rooms this year...we will see how it goes. They liked decorating them.

It is the only one I have taken this year...

Pieper November

She is certain she is going to marry Pete and live with him forever in our back yard.
For some reason she likes to go to the nurse in school.
Acts like a 17 year old more than I would like.
It has now changed... she wants to marry most funny people she meets or sees...the doctor made her laugh so she instantly wanted to marry him.
Loves homemade jam vs store bought.
Was home sick for four days from school... and wrote a letter to her teacher and classmates about how much she missed them.
Love to tell people how tall she is getting because she is sleeping in her own bed.
Loves to go to birthday parties but cries when we walk out of the door, especially if it as someones home.
Would really like to buy hot lunch at school ( some of her friends do)  I haven't even put money on her lunch card...yes, it is like a credit card...
Wants to make sure everyone does the "right" thing.
Thinks it is funny when the boys get in trouble at school and the girls are all being good...
Likes to make up stories about when she was little.
Loves to hold her little cousins.
Still will go through about four outfits on days she doesn't go to school, not including dress up outfits...
Will sit with Pete and help him go potty on the potty.  Will read to him or get him toys if he is upset.
Will sometimes make her bed in the morning.
Will problem solve even before you tell her too...I said I forgot to take out the recycle and she ran to get her shoes and coat on.
Is still sensitive.
Is still the best at making Peter laugh.

 Jeff just loves that she can laugh and cry like her mama!  She did her hair by herself after her bath...

 The letter she wrote to her class.

Face got painted for the first time at a birthday party...I don't let them get it done.

Peter November

Wants to go to Hawaii.  I can not begin to spell it the way he says it.
Randomly thinks we are going to Grandpa and Gram's house and get disappointed when we just go home.
Loves to play spiderman... he has started playing 'kill' so we are trying to get that changed... boys.
Loves to play with Pieper unless he is tired.
Wanted to buy Lucky Charms but only eats the 'charms'...can't wait for that box to be empty.
Is worried if he goes to school (we are trying to get him ready) he will not see Pieper or me...
Has a ton of energy unless you go for a walk in the woods then all of the sudden his 'legs are tired of walking'
Is worried about throwing out our carved pumpkins...he will miss them.
Pieper had to make a dream catcher for school so Pete made one as well.  He told his Dad he had to put a bell on it because when the "dream catcher catches bad dreams the bell will ring."
Will always want to give you a hug if he is getting into trouble.
Likes to dump his toys all out or books off the book self just to look for one toy or book, his room is always a disaster.
I feel like all of the sudden he is easier to understand.  He starts speach next week for his "t" and "s" and "f" sounds.
Is getting better about his letters.
Still loves look or I spy books, would do them day and night.
Misses the fact he gets no more Ipad or kindle until he goes potty all the time in the big boy potty...unless I am cutting his hair...then he gets it.
I think he is growing, he is sleeping like a rock.
