Christmas Eve-Eve camping out

Our yearly tradition of camping out under the Christmas tree Xmas Eve Eve.

New bedroom furniture

Thanks to our awesome realtor Katy we scored a king bedroom suite set for $300. Including mattress and box springs. And it's exactly what I wanted. This is a night picture because it tools hours to move it. It's heavy!

Halloween coop

Had fun bobbing for apples, making cupcakes and painting our own face! 

Storytime and scary bath

(10/31) Tue at storytime was a Boo day theme. She took her hat off for class so full costume pictures are to come.

Tonight we had scary bath night and used a black light and candle for it. There are kids in there! 

Chislic and boos

Today we started the neighborhood booing since we were last to be boo'd last year. London did one all by himself

This afternoon we sat back and watched some football and ate chislic. The kids went crazy for it! Doesn't look good but it is. It's a South Dakota thing. We cut up deer meat an fry it up and dump garlic salt on it. Yum! 

Love this street

Doesn't look like much but almost nightly the whole street has all the kids out and playing together. I can send Jo out even and the big kids take care of the little ones. Ages 2-17! 

Uop party

I didn't get many pictures because it's a little insane trying to keep up with kids with unlimited cards at an arcade! But I got a picture of proud London who won the second best prize! A blu ray!

Lewis' birthday party

Fun day at the Houston aquarium celebrating Lewis's fifth birthday!

Storytime

Got a new pan in the mail and since Roxie and kids are spending the night she thought she would make some cake from scratch. Yum!

Earlier today Jo and I did storytime at the library with friends. The. Hit up some willies or food and sandbox (sorry forgot pictures there) 

Oragami

Home Depot kids clinic (1/2 today)

Home Depot has kids clinics for them to come in a build. We made rescue airplanes today. 

International dinner club South Africa (2/2 today)

This was the game for the night of our "international dinner club" tonight we hosted and it was South African food! I was to busy hosting for photos. 

Bounce me mike

Jordan loves gymnastics. Coach mike is always doing special things with her and here he is havin her lay flat and he Bounces her up. Since she is only 22 lbs he can't get her up to high but she dd great and holding herself flat!

Mushrooms everywhere

A nice variety in the yard. 

Pint size penpal

London has had a penpal (lily) his entire life. However this last year tey have been doing the work instead of us moms. This last letter miss lily cut out some pretty fall leaves for us since we don't have them. London wanted them up on our window right away! 

Kiwi crate

Kiwi crates are a monthly subscription of basically arts/crafts pre arranged for us. It's a no rained since everything you need is in the box! This month was modern art. My kids personality shows big time in their art. London being my non-abstract kid wanted his work perfectly symmetrical.

Then there is Jo. She is more my "can't keep me in line and I will not be contained"

Landens birthday party

We had a blast at landens birthday party this year. I can't believe he is five already. 

Co-op day at the zoo

Trip with part of our class to houston zoo! They got to use those map skills we taught them. 

Curb appeal

Got our curb painted for the pizza guy. Lol

Let's pretend

Jordan and I went to visit kellie and family today. It was his first time having Elizabeth all to herself. They had a good time playing dress up.

London was made line leader today at moms day out. He was very proud. 

Children's museum homeschool day

Went to hang out with other homeschool kids today at the Houston children's museum. It was such a different experience. The kids just had more imagination and played well together with everyone helping everyone else.

Symphony

We got free tickets to te local symphony tonight. We got them last minute an thought we could just grab the kids and go. That didn't work out well so we left at intermission. :(

Rough and tough

London vs the curb and mailbox. London :0, curb :1

Nest!!

Out with the old broken POS Honeywell thermostat and in with my new fancy Nest Thermostat. It's so purty. But now we have to paint over the old wall paper.

Houston zoo

The zoo has a new exhibit its leggo animals and the kids loved it. 

Happy birthday London!

He wanted to celebrate his birthday at Denny's. 

Jo was not impressed with her lack of face food.
