Fa la la la la!

The boys and I really enjoyed our fall and the past few weeks our fall has turned into full on winter. This morning we woke up to lots of ice and no school. Unfortunately for mommy, she still had to work. We've had lots going on lately. Between school and holidays and family visiting. Its been a busy few months. But it's been lots of fun.
 
 
October was filled with lots of fall festivities.
 
We carved pumpkins.
 
We took family pictures.


 
And we dressed up for Halloween!
My power ranger...
 
and my Ninja!
 
 
In November...
 
We started the dreaded potty training.
 
I realize Gunner is still a little too young for this but he was showing so many signs of being ready so I figured, what the heck, its worth a shot. A month later, I can assure you, he's not potty trained. But, we're still working on it. We are done with diapers though. For the past month, we've used nothing but underwear and pull ups. Maybe in a few more months, he'll have it down! :)
 
We roasted marshmallows.
 
We had play dates.
 
We spent time with cousins (from FL) on Thanksgiving!

 
 
And then, all in the blink of an eye, December was among us!
 
December always brings our friend Snitch back for the month! :) He made his first appearance with a letter for the boys...

 
And he's made himself a new comfy spot each night after the boys go to bed.
 
Gunner isn't really into it yet. I don't think he's old enough to really understand it. But Tuff, loves him. The first thing he does when his feet hit the ground in the morning, is look for Snitch' new spot for the day. He also likes to show him to everyone who comes over and tell them all about him.
 
So far this month,
 
Papa read to Tuff's class and took Gunner Blake along for the story!

 
We've decorated the Christmas tree.
 
And we've made snowmen for a school project.
 
 
 
But, December isn't over yet. There is lots more fun to be had!
Stay tuned....
 
 
Love,
us
