NATCHITOCHES (nac-a-dish) Christmas City with Santa

Save Now

Painting...

So, today we did painting...
I don't have the heart
to show what
happened to the paint pods and my tile floor.

Use your imagination.

No Hadrian does not have a pacifier...he got a ring pop from pre-school.

Interesting Tree ornament

So, I took the initiative and put up a Christmas tree.



oh how pretty.

UNTIL IT STARTED WIGGLING

Look closely - "Hello Ms. Priss"

Thanksgiving in San Antonio

Thanksgiving this year was spent in San Antonio with family.

The boys got to see my Grandma and Grandpa Leffel.




The San Antonio Zoo



and THE ALAMO



And....of course we ate some great food. As well as meet some of the wonderful extended family of my Aunt Lisa.

Thanks for sharing!

Pilgrims

The boys made way cute pilgrim felt people...I tried to switch up the hair parts but the boys wouldn't have it. So, traditional is the way it goes.

Bead strings.......

The project for today........

BEAD STRINGS

Yes, with help from Buck the dog.


Gotta love the hair!

Can't explain the face.....sorry. I asked him to look up, this is what I got.

Art Time...(Family time)

So, we started making the spider to go with "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and then we sang the song.

This is Trajan's Spider (Hayhoo tore his into peices)

We then moved onto claymation....or at least clay messin'.

How cute are these??

CHRISTMAS IN NOVEMBER>>>

Ok....so my parents usually get the presents and/or cards
to us a little late because of their busy kids and lives.

SURPRISE!

Presents came today!

We are now fully able to block in a duel, while playing a flute.

And...to prove that Grandma and Grandpa always come through
(which is kind of what the shirts in German tell us...
when mom and dad say no- go to grandma and grandpa)

Wallets ...with MONEY!!

Why me.

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!
And - it HAS EGGS!!!
(top of the picture, bundle of cream bumps)

So, Trajan went to get some water out of the fridge and SCREAMED.

I came out and saw a crawling spider.

I SCREAMED.

Then squished it and looked....there are eggs on the top of the

picture of it!

EEEWWWW How gross!!

It is the size of a Nickel and it is all scrunched up from being squished!
Where is my DH when I need him.

So, WalMart is having their after holiday sales....can't beat $2 hoodies!

Hadrian as a Skeleton

Trajan as Frankenstein

Grandma Obituary

My wonderful Grandma has left us and moved on to


be with her mother and sister that she loved and longed for.


She is missed.

Halloween...

HALLOWEEN

Transformers...more than meets they eye...

OPTIMUS PRIME & BUMBLE BEE

So, we began the festivities with posing for the camera.

Then to make sure no hurt tummies and less asking for candy. FUN DINNER!!

Yeah, because that stopped asking for candy.

Even with rules up front still have tons of "candy please, just one more". Still said no.

Finally - having fun with going around for trick-or-treating.

They both understood it this year!!!

And - IT IS OVER. Now, where do I hide the candy?

Pumpkin Patch

This was fun.
The boys both got to go with each class.

Trajan is helping each kid out. Making sure none of his friends get lost. (or his little brother)

Trajan walking with his class onto the farm.

Trajan is in the middle and Hayhoo is on the left.

Proud boy of a picked pumpkin.

Kids are racing down the street

This is a clip of the boys racing down our street.

They have so much fun doing this that I had to record it.

Jerry Golfing

Jerry hasn't golfed in at least 7 years. He came home on his last R & R and decided it was time.

So, here is his attempt at getting back in the groove...

Way to go Marine!!!

And - mini marine...

WAY TO GO!!!

Tell me this is normal...
