Today at preschool, Shaylee and Alli had their Thanksgiving feasts. Alli’s teacher said she was a good eater. She tried everything and ate it all gone. They also said that she was usually the last one finished during snack time. :) Thats my girl!

Under the Door

IMG_5113

Allison and Clay like to play under the door to each other.

IMG_5114
Allison likes to slide her belt under and then wait for Clay to grab it. Finally he will let go and she will take it back for a minute and then slide it under again. They will do this over and over.

Ice Cream Cone Lickers

IMG_5111
Clay and Allison LOVE ice cream! Tonight Clay finally figured out how to lick a cone. It was really funny to watch.

Allison was talking to Nana on the bluetooth headset. She thought that was neat!

Dress-Up with Clay and Grace

IMG_5087
Clay and Grace were playing dress up. It was a little sad because all we have are girl dress up clothes. Clay seemed to think his skirt was rather funny.

IMG_5083
I think Grace was wearing everything from Alli’s dress up box.

Mommy's Roast

IMG_5079
Allison loved Mommy’s roast and cream peas. A favorite dish of mine from childhood. She didn’t care for the potatoes and carrots though! We usually end up having several veggies to eat because both of my kids would rather veggies than meet (except this night).

Sunglasses

Clay sporting Grace’s sunglasses.

Ranch Sauce

Hermit Crab #1 drinking water

IMG_5073
Our first crab drinking from his water bowl. However, we are sad to say that several days after we got this crab, it died. We are now happy owners of a new crab!

Clay and the remote

IMG_5045
Clayton asks to be put in the chair and handed the remote. What a boy!

Allison's first Hermit Crab

IMG_5050
Allison got her first Hermit Crab. She has been saving up her money to buy one for a long time. She wanted one with a painted shell, but all of those shells were empty so we got this one. He is pretty active. She wants two, but she has to save up some more money for her next one. Maybe she can get a painted shell one then.

IMG_5051

Clayton's fat lip

IMG_5055
Clay ran into the wall and got a fat lip.

IMG_5054
He is always falling and getting hurt...poor little guy. I hope he gets some better coordination soon!

What Alli taught Clay


IMG_4965
This is what my wonderful daughter taught Clay to do...eat dried blueberries off the floor. I had to put an end to this quickly after I took a couple pics.
