All I Want For Christmas Is . . .

 

On November 9th Hannah came home from school with a surprise... No front teeth.  She had lost her other front tooth at school and was completely toothless.  To top it off, it was just in time for Christmas.  She was pretty happy about it and wanted me to take a picture of her.

It was such a large hole she could even stick her tongue through it.

Kids In A Car

Dan, very intently, watching his show.

On our way to Ben's second pinewood derby (I didn't get a single picture of the pinewood derby, but we got these pictures) the little kids were whinny.  I was driving so Kenny decided to cheer them up by taking their picture.  I don't know why I'm sharing, but I thought they were cute.

What a bunch of goofballs.  :)

Hanging Out

Sometimes being a parent is the best!

Since the big kids went back to school I've been able to spend more time with the littlest 3.  I have to admit it's been really nice.  Gracie has done a wonderful job being the big sister and the boys have really enjoyed playing with her.  On November 6th I had just made lunch and stepped away for a few minutes.  When I got back I found the 3 of them on the deck with their food having some kind of conversation   It was so cute, so I took a picture.

Trick or Treating

Halloween 2012

The candy pile.

Halloween finally came and it was time to send the kids Trick or Treating.  The weather was beautiful and the kids had a lot of fun roaming the neighborhood.  We let the oldest 4 go together, on their own, sometimes it's nice that Sarah has her own phone, this was one of those times. I took the little boys with me.  It's so much fun to take little kids trick or treating and see their faces when people give them candy.  Daniel always wanted a sucker and would say, "Trick or Treat. Can I have a sucker?"  Luckily he was a good sport if they didn't have suckers.  Adam just loved any kind of candy.  They were also very interested in whether or not people had dogs.  It was so fun.  When I got done with the boys, Kenny went to check on the big kids.  He brought Gracie back with him because she was ready to be done before the others.  When all was said and done,we got enough candy to last us awhile and the kids had a lot of fun.

Happy Halloween

For Halloween this year Foxboro had a parade for all the students to show off their costumes.  I still think it's really sad that they don't do more for Halloween, but what can we do, right.  I took the 3 little kids with me to the school to watch the bigger 3 in the parade.  The weather was BEAUTIFUL so we decided to hang out outside this year.  Last year we were in the gym and it was so crowded and pretty miserable.  This year was wonderful.  The kids ran around awhile we waited for the parade to start.

While the little kids were waiting they were playing around.  Adam started running away.  He looked so cute the first thing I did when he wouldn't come back was pick up the camera.

Here's my little knight dude running away from me.

Ben's class was the first one to walk by.  Here he is as a SWAT team guy.

Hannah was next.  She loved going to school as a pink Jasmine.

We found out the day before the parade that Sarah wasn't able to wear her zombie dress because it had blood on it.  She was REALLY upset and I don't blame her.  I don't see how her dress is any more scary than her friend Skylee (in front of her in this picture.)  She decided to go as a very disappointed rock climber instead.
