Puzzles have become the big thing in our house. Skylr can put together a 100 piece puzzle in 15 min.
No dishwasher equals lot of helping hands to wash all our dishes!!
Halloween was lots of fun. Pumpkin carving and painting and the Lucore baby in a pumpkin!!
The kids went trunk or treating. Skyr was jasmine, Gavin was batman and Zoey was a kitty.
Along with trunk or treat our ward had a carnival theme inside and a chili feed. We have had lots of fun getting to know the ward and participate in these fun activities.
Skylr has started preschool this year and LOVES it. She really likes her teacher and is friends with everyone in her class (her class size is 12). She has been learning her letters and numbers as well as becoming very social (she isn't near as shy as she used to be).
Forts have been a very fun thing since the kids are sharing a room. They have been doing so well in the same room and soon Zoey will be in there too...that will be a whole new adventure I am sure.
We have also been able to check out our surroundings. Clarkston and Lewiston are behind us and it sure was fun checking out the town and we found a great little place to eat that we can't wait to visit again.
Laundry (and dishes) have been an adjustment. Tim has 3 FULL bags and a FULL laundry basket. We have a good routine for those things now that wok well for our family.
Gavin turned 2 and we celebrated with toy story cupcakes, presents and playing at McDonald's (the only indoor play area in town). Gavin and the family had a great time together, thank you to our family for sending gifts, cards and love.
We sure do like to do silly things together!!
We got a little bit of snow, so the kids and Tim tried to make a snowman but there wasn't enough snow.
Happy Thanksgiving!!! We stayed in Pullman for thanksgiving, but our ward had a thanksgiving meal put together for all hat were staying. On thanksgiving day we went to the church for dinner and socializing.
Skylr made a cup pyramid at the ward thanksgiving dinner with her daddy.
We also visited Kamiak Butte on thanksgiving and found some cool walking trails to visit when it gets warmer. At the Butte there is a really cool and fun park that is surrounded by lots of pine trees, the kids has a blast but will enjoy it more when it warms up.
Zoey is growing so fast and likes to giggle and smile. She (like the other kids) is a big mamas girl and likes to be held. She eats great and lets me sleep alright at night (4 hours at a time).
It is now Christmas time and we are all decorated and excited for the season of giving. We don't have any presents out, in attempt to keep the kids from opening them as well as using this as an opportunity to learn about the true meaning of CChristmas. We have made a count down to Christmas and on each link there is a reminder written on it to help someone or to learn about Christmas traditions. Each day I hope we can learn as a family that Christmas isn't about receiving gifts, but about helping and giving to others. We will still exchange gifts, but will wait until Christmas to put all the presents under the tree.
This is my new treasure that I found at a thrift shop for $35, now the TV doesn't have to be on our dresser and we can have our dresser in our room with clothes in it again. :)
Happy Holidays!! Stay happy and healthy and don't forget the true meaning of Christmas!!
