Thanksgiving Photos

 This picture was taken at Evan's Pow Wow party at daycare on 'Thanksgiving Eve.' His class performed 3 songs for the parents. He is the turkey on the second row, wearing an orange t-shirt with dinosaurs on it (directly behind the little turkey in the yellow shirt on the first row).

 The boys had dinner in Dylan's room that night, in front of my computer. I said they could watch "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" episodes on YouTube if they would 'make happy plates' (i.e. eat all of their food.)  I was  just trying to ensure that they got some good food in their bellies, as they'd been way too excited at Aunt Becky's house and didn't eat a thing! And it worked!

Project for Dylan

 

I got this little table and chair at a consignment store for $10 total! What a deal! I knew as soon as I saw them that I should buy them and paint them for Dylan's new "Big Boy Room" (I'm going to replace his crib with a twin bed and have already moved my computer out of his room so he'll have more space for his own stuff!) I bought craft paints to match the greens, browns and taupes in his new comforter that will go on the new bed, but I  still didn't know how I was going to paint the table and chair until I actually got the brushes out and started working on it. I made a few changes along the way, but ultimately came up with color blocked parts on the chair and stripes on the table top. I think it turned out really cute and Dylan is very pleased. (By the way, the cats kept trying to "help" with this project, but other than getting some cat hairs in the paint, they didn't add much of a contribution!) 

 

The ABC Song

"Peace In Our Time"

Here are the boys singing along with their Dad's excellent cover version of the song "Peace In Our Time."  The original song is by the great band Big Country.

Dance Like A Bumblebee!

"Baa Baa Black Sheep"

Whenever Tom or I sing "Baa Baa Black Sheep" to the boys, we say 'One for Mama, one for Da-Da..." instead of 'One for the master," etc. You can hear Dylan singing 'One for the Da-Da, one for the Evay, one for the Dougal..." So cute!
