Snow Bound

This week it snowed here. It started in the late evening and then continued into the morning. When Claire woke up and came into my room. She opened my curtains and said "look what it did mom. Let's play!" So I got up and got Claire dressed and she went out on the back porch and played. i watched and took pictures since Mia was awake. Here Claire is all ready to go:

In this one she is trying to do a snow angel.

Then one of her playing.

Laughing

This is a video that we got of Mia laughing for the first time. You just need to be patient because Claire wanted the attention too so she kept putting things in front of the camera.

Preschool

Claire and I did our one on one preschool day this morning and we had a great time. We talked about our 5 senses, Veteran's Day and also Claude Monet's birthday. Here she is with one of her projects she made this week.

Pumpkins

We always have fun carving our pumpkins. This year Claire actually got into it and would help pull out the insides and also poke the holes. She even got to pick her pumpkin out of grandma's pumpkin patch. She was so excited about it. Here is Claire's pumpkin:

Here is my pumpkin:

Here is Bryan's pumpkin:

Here is how Mia contributed to our pumpkin carving experience.

Finally here is a new little family tradition we've had the past two years now (Thanks to my sisters telling me how to do them), we made mummy dogs. Here is Claire with her mummy dog. She loves to make and eat them.
