The simple things...

Sometimes you find the most joy in the simple things in life.  For instance, the fun that can be had on a sunny, autumn day and a hill...

Classic Christmas Movies...

Our monorail...

Our monorail is up and running.  Joseph is amazed!  Let's take bets on how long he can keep his hands off it....

Scarlet's imagination...

I don't even know what to say except that I love how these kids' imaginations keep me on my toes!

Pancakes with Pop Pop...

Pop Pop makes "World Famous" pancakes and the kids were introduced to them today....

Scarlet's Birthday

I'm a little behind the game with my posts and just getting around to posting about Scarlet's birthday. On her actual birthday I wanted to make it special, so we had a little Mommy-daughter time while the girls were in school and I got a sitter for Joseph.  I took her to get her very first mani-pedi!  She LOVED it and argues with me at bath time to be careful not to remove her nail polish.  The weekend after her birthday we got tickets for her and some of her friends to see Frozen 2 in the movie theater and then came back to our house for cake.

We hit up Golly G's on the way home for their epic cinnamon bun!  

Scarlet's Frozen 2 cake...made by Mom!

It's the first cake I've ever made that I added lights to!

Scarlet is decked out head to toe in Frozen attire

When we sang Happy Birthday she looks miserable.  She just hates to have all the attention on her! She got a little shy so we had to help her blow out the candles....

November wrap-up...

Joseph loves to play in boxes...this one MAY be too small

Joseph always wants to be with Daddy.  "You didn't want to read that, did you Dad?"

Mesmerized by the TV

Epic tantrum because I told him I had to wash the pillow cover that Bruno drooled on... First world problems

Scarlet is supposed to be napping.  Instead, she's tucking Lola in 

Frying the Thanksgiving turkey.  Turkey, fire, hot oil, beer, and a big ol' truck...there's just too much testosterone out there.
