our Gingerbread Village

Gingerbread Baby is one of our favorite winter books. The boys enjoyed decorating their own gingerbread houses and we ended up with a delightful gingerbread village!

Thankful

I forgot to post this a while back but had it written on a piece of paper to record...

Benjamin's list of things he is thankful for...
Trevin
Speedie
Mommy & Daddy
Lana
squirrels
the workers
pumpkins

Funny things he's said lately...

"Mommy, I have a good rememory"

"Mommy, you can't hear my mouth!!" (when he was losing his voice a bit)

"These socks make me wiggle!"

Trevin's discovery

Trevin, oh Trevin! What are we going to do?? You are in love with your thumb! We put mits on your hands and you (somehow??!!) get them off at night. We cover your hands with the cuffs on your pjs and your fingers find a way out. You will still take the pacifier but if it isn't handy the thumb works well. Tonight you had the perfect combination - Papa's shoulder & warm embrace along with your thumb. It was fun to see you drift off to sleep - even in a lively house. I'm hoping that you lose interest in your thumb soon, hmmm....wishful thinking.

Concentration Required

We enjoyed the outdoors at a nearby park with Jesse & his Mom on Wednesday. No jackets or hats required! The boys took their digging jobs quite seriously.
