Cort and Grace are loving having all the different types of cookies in the house. I asked the kids which cookie they like best, they said they like ALL the cookies. Frank I like the caramel corn best.
Wow today was a fun filled day! Frank ended up having the day off, so we went out to find a Christmas tree on the island. The first thing we found was a new beach to explore. I am sorry mom, I left the camera in the truck. We were there for at least an hour. The tide was out and there were little tide pools everywhere. Cort and Grace got to see: minnows swimming, a live clam, dead crabs, and lots of barniclkes. Then we did some shooting at the beach, Cort made us wait and stand in back so he could shoot his (toy)army gun. Then it was back to the tree hunt. While Frank and I were busy looking at possible trees the kids had a blast breaking the crusty ice on the mud puddles. We ended up finding a great scrub pine tree. Grace loved using the step stool while she was decorating. Wow, this has been a wonderful day!
Cort decided that all of the bubble strips from a Wal*Mart box would be a special protection armer. This would protect my little rescue hero from missiles, bombs, fire, bullets, he said that nothing could get through it. Grace played with for about 10 min. long enough to make a bracelet with her bubbles. Cort played with it all afternoon.
Who says you can not have fun on a rainy day? Anyone who has small children needs to own the game Elefun. The kids love it, it is not that messy and the butterflies are quiet.
My little girl is enjoying all of the space in her room. She can have her pony things out and Cort won't bother her. Sometimes I walk in her room and I just have to laugh at what she has found to put on. Maybe I should get a dress up box for her. With Cort it is hard to keep him inside, with Grace you have to beg her to go outside. Amazing how different two kids can be!
Cort, Grace & Lucy were making Turkey decorations, well Lucy was just curious about what was going on. Cort is starting to want to sit down are draw, before he would not slow down long enough for that sort of thing. I hope you all have a day filled with lots of food, family, friends, and rest!
My little babies have adjusted well to the warmer weather. They always come in muddy! Cort even asked me when it was going snow. He said he wants to go sledding. Well it is either warm and muddy or freezing and snowy, I'm glad it is warm and muddy.
As you can see we were all tired today. Good thing Grace was there to make sure that Daddy did not get cold while he was napping with Belinda, the doll. I would like to say that everything is close to done, but my mom told me never to lie. I got most of the kitchen stuff IN the kitchen, that is what I did for the day. Maybe tomorrow I can get another room done or close to done.
