Musical Interlude

This guy loves to play chess. And he keeps asking us to play over and over again.

Here are 'the boys' at lunch today.

Of course if they are close enough to touch then someone is going to start trouble.

And at the mall they had a chance to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas.

Big Day

This is why they like Grnny more. She makes them pancakes shaped like mice.

A made a great drawing of his dad as a turkey.

This is A bringing another plan together. He wanted to make our centerpiece out of food so a plan was hatched.

Not quite done but it's getting there.

Voila!!

The table is ready.

Yummy.

Construction time. Gingerbread houses.

Fun fun. And look who's holding the baby.

The kids got out their camera today and here is the day from their perspective.

Dinner's coming........

It looked and tasted good.

Peek-a-boo. I see you.

Was this picture taken from DownUnder?

Hello Mr.Wst.

Two cooks in the kitchen??

Big brother.

Sweetie-pie.

Here's Granny.

Glamour shot.

Believe It

M and I had a date today.....all day.

Can you guess from this picture where we went?

Any guesses now?

We went to the Musem of Amrcn Histry. M had never been there before.

We had a little snack break in the museum's cafe.

Then we went for a movie and dinner. This was our dessert. (Fried banana and sticky rice)

On our way home we saw these crazy people. They are sleeping outside the store so they will get the best deals for BlckFriday tomorrow.

Red Belt

These two got their red belts last night.

This is how I often find E when he is in the tub.

News

After picking Grnny up on Sunday we went to a luncheon with our church group. But these three only had eyes for each other.

The monkey-man climbing around today.

The boys have been very interested in science and experiments. They have been using everything they can get their hands on to create/concoct different potions.

So today I picked up a kit called, Extreme Secret Formula Lab. We tried one of them tonight and it was good fun.

The end product was delightful.

And it glows in the dark!!

Did You Know?

You may not be able to see the cape and halo in this picture, but this man is a superhero and a saint.

Day Five

Here we are at Epct.

Really cool lettuce growing like a Micky.

The Canada Pavilion.

The U.K. Pavilion.

The France Pavilion....we had pastry here.

Great test track ride.

E was a little worried before we went on.

But he felt safer with daddy.

Here's E doin' a little dance at the Mexico Pavilion.

We went on the ride at the Norway Pavilion.

And there were great performers at the China Pavilion.

And Germany.....can't you just smell the beer.

The USA Pavilion was already prepped for Christmas.

Look how high he can jump.

There was a great exhibit where the kids could drive.

And also this neat virtual shuffleboard game.

And of course, more fireworks.

P.S. Not that I'm complaining...but Epcot was my least fave of the parks this week.
