I Love Apples

Izzy loves apples. Not just any apples but Michigan Honeycrisp apples to be exact. I buy a bag of those each week, and each week she manages to eat almost all of them! They fit perfectly in her hand and she just carries them around and munches when she wants.

Santa's Helper

We were all downstairs watching a little t.v.. All was quiet and so Maison disappeared. I just assumed he was getting something or using the bathroom. All of a sudden he flies down the stairs and says..."I'm ready to see Santa!" If you look closely, you'll find a homemade belt that was handcrafted my Maison! But, his bowl isn't full of jelly, just my batting!

My Helper

Is she helping or just really thirsty?

Izzy's 1st Haircut

We took Iz to get her first haircut tonight! She did really really great! No tears or tantrums! Maison and Libs were sad because she got a toy and they didn't! However, I can't believe how much she reminds me of Libby after we had her hair cut for the first time!

Thanksgiving Program

Maison's school had their Thanksgiving Program tonight. He's been working really hard at memorizing his part. He played the pilgrim boy in their Squanto play. He definitely enjoys being in the plays at school, but not as much as he enjoys singing!

Libby's Christmas List

The other afternoon, Libby was hard at work drawing in a notebook. A little while later she comes over and the following conversation ensued.

"Mom, will you look at my christmas list?" she says. "Bring it here," I reply. She happily bounces over with her notebook and pen. Before she hands it over she says, "Just so you know, I drew some pictures beside the list because I don't speak Spanish so good." I think to myself, "So she can write Spanish, but not speak it?!"
