Thanksgiving

While I worked on Thanksgiving, Paul and the kids enjoyed a turkey dinner with Granny and Grandpa Tom.  Here the kids are having fun looking at the fish in the fish pond at Granny's retirement home.

The weekend after Thanksgiving, we had Granddaddy and Grandma Karleen over for a belated Thanksgiving dinner.  The kids were happy to have Granddaddy read them stories before lunch.

Cool weather cutie

My Thanksgiving Surprise

I had to work on Thanksgiving so my awesome husband took the kids to the hospital to visit me.  I was super excited to see them!

I'm pleased with the school pictures, much cuter then when I was in school.

Preschool Thanksgiving Feast

Every year the kids preschool has a Thanksgiving Feast and all the parents are invited.  This year we were surprised when the kids were dressed up, they looked super cute!

Johnny's first trip to the dentist

This week Johnny had his first dental check-up and Molly had her second.  Molly was not one bit hesitant about going and was eager to get right up in the exam chair.  I had to ease Johnny in by letting him sit on my lap at first but he warmed up and sat alone for a better part of the exam.  I love our dentist, their office is amazing.  Let me just say, it is nothing like my childhood dentist office! The exam room had 2 chairs so the kids could go at the same time (meaning half the time I have to be there) and it was so big Samuel was content walking around checking things out while the older ones were being looked at.  Hopefully this will start them on the right track so they won't have such a fear of the dentist like me! 

 The kids played dentist at home after their appointment!

Halloween 2013

The weekend before Halloween we enjoyed a trunk n treat at the church where Molly and Johnny attend preschool.  The kids had fun getting candy, going on a hay rack ride, and jumping in the bounce house!

 On Halloween night our little doctor, nurse, and injured patient ventured into the neighborhood in search of candy.  As you can see, they collected quite a load.  Molly has always loved trick-or-treating and this year was no different.  Johnny was a little more reserved (consistent with his personality) but it didn't take him long to figure out the routine and he happily went to the houses with Molly. Samuel was content eating a sucker in the wagon the whole evening.
