"The Lady"

Maggie recently had some photos taken. Here are some of my fav's of the whole batch.........

KINDY CAR 2010

Whats a "Kindy Car" one might ask? Well it is a car that all the students in Myles' kindergarten class are supposed to make. They are allowed to choose whatever style, color, shape that they want. Myles had already determined an Army Tank painted camou was what he was going to do. They take these cars to school and travel in them to different parts of the country to visit the symbols of freedom. Pretty appropriate that he chose a "Tank"as his vehicle. As I posted before, the result of making this car not only produced Myles an Army Tank, but also the display of Grafitti across the outside of our house. Too bad I was too busy celebrating my sisters birthday in Salt Lake and not able to prevent that catastrophe from happening. Live and learn right. Here's a couple of pics of the INFamous Army Tank!!!

Tooth Fairy

Myles lost his first tooth about a week ago. He just doesn't seem quite old enough to be losing his baby teeth. He was so brave and pulled it out himself. He stood in the bathroom in front of the mirror and wiggled and wiggled until it finally popped out! His main concern about losing it was that he wouldn't be able to Whistle anymore. To his great relief, he remains a whistling fool......Way to go on your 1st tooth, Myles! Only 25 more to go...........

GRAFFITTI

Recently, (being last night), I came home to find this display of artwork beautifying my home. I went out for a night out to celebrate my sisters birthday. My husband and kids decided to work on Myles' "Kindy Car," which I will post about later. They had cans of spray paint out and apparently my husband isn't as attentive to what the other children are doing while he is busy at work.... Surprise, surprise. Miss little Maggie decided to paint the house with RED spray paint. Not only did she paint the rocks, she painted two pillars, watering pitcher, two of my flower pots, the smaller garage door, a couple tree trunks, and part of the sidewalk. Literally she went to town. I just wonder how someone so cute and sweet can accomplish the things that she did last night. Not only did she decide to decorate the outside, she also used bright green fingernail polish to paint one cushion on our leather couch. We've used Mr. Clean "Magic Erasers," and apparently they arent all that magical when it comes to spraypaint..... Any helpful advice would be welcoming!

The Best Day Of His Life!

Myles says some of the funniest things. He continues to crack me up on a daily basis. I picked him up from Kindermusik today and he said, "This is the best day of my life." He then began to tell me that today in class they got their instrument for the semester, A Glockenspiel.. He is so thrilled to have it and keeps it right by him wherever he goes.





Here he is showing off his Glockenspiel skills.



Last week when I was decorating the Christmas tree he said, "Sometimes when I see beautiful things, it makes me want to cry." He has such a way with words and is a sweet, thoughtful boy. We sure do love you, MyMy

QUEEN OF THE THRONE..............

Miss Maggie decided to join the "big girl club" and start using the potty. It took 4 years and a couple handfuls of days for her to jump onboard. It was a lot of stressing on my part and many, many accidents until finally we would give it up for awhile only to try it again a couple weeks down the road. We did this routine for the last year and a half. We begged, bribed, pleaded, got frustrated (mostly Ron and I) until one day this little gal was told there was no other option. We knew from day one that she was smart enough to do it, but boy is she Stubborn. My boys were both potty- trained the summer they turned 3 and I thought for sure Maggie would be a cinch. Was I ever wrong! I can proudly annouce that she has done it and has not had an accident once. We are so proud she finally did it! I'm especially thankful there are no more pull-ups to change! Way to go, Maggie............

HALLOWEEN FUN

We love,love, love Halloween at our house, especially Myles. He loves anything that is creepy, crawly, and just plain scary. He is always envisioning what his choice of costume will be for the next year even before we have made it to the present Halloween. The kids enjoyed TRICK or TREATING and their moutain of candy... Aww the days of being a kid!

Mason, for what seems like every year chose again to be a HUNTER. I guess I shall get used to this since that is all he likes to do.

Myles of course wanted to be something scary and all black. He chose "Dark Vader." This is the name that "Darth" has been known by at our house.
Maggie this year chose to be a COWGIRL.
