Eye Patch

There's nothing wrong with Julia's eye!  Julia has a friend at school that wears an eye patch to help correct her vision and the great thing about being 3 is that you think your friend is super cool because she wears an eye patch!  One morning Julia was throwing a fit because she wanted to wear her pirate eye patch to school and she couldn't find it, she wanted to wear it to look like her friend.  Her friend was kind enough to bring a few eye patches for Julia to try out...

Light Parade

We went to our downtown to check out the light parade.  It was a fantastic night for it, it must have been 50 degrees!  The best part of the parade for J & J was the candy and glow sticks....what more could you want ?!

Boxes!

These crazy kids are so excited when a package comes in the mail because they want to play with the box!  They entertain themselves for at least an hour by coloring and cutting it up (see the window!)....

Lunch, Christmas Trees and Dinosaurs!

Our cute little lunch dates...their brothers were siting beside them, but they didn't look nearly as cute with matching school shirts on :)

After lunch did a little Christmas tree shopping!  They were beyond excited to decorate little trees for their bedrooms!

Jack's masterpiece....

They have been studying dinosaurs at school (the big black part is a volcano!)...

Thanksgiving 2012

We spent Thanksgiving weekend with our families in Michigan (I hardly took any pictures!)...

Julia & Ma

After Thanksgiving dinner at Ma & Pa's....

We headed home on Saturday afternoon so we could work on our Christmas decorations!  Jack and Julia were so excited...Christmas is going to be FUN this year!

Hello Kitty!

Julia is in love with Hello Kitty, which I love because I remember Hello Kitty from many years ago :)

An apple a day...

Trees!

We had two trees cut down today (one in the backyard and one in the front) and it was so exciting for Jack and Julia. Jack wouldn't move away from the window, he was afraid he was going to miss something!

It was too dark outside by the time they finished to take the after picture, so will have to take one tomorrow! It doesn't even look like the same house...

No more berry tree!  Yeah (our house really isn't crooked...it was just the photographer taking a picture from the car after pulling out of the driveway!)...

Build A Bear

J & J finally went to Build A Bear to use their birthday gift certificates...
Jack was upset that his Dad wouldn't let him choose Hello Kitty like his sister!

Jack's Halloween Party & Trick or Treating!

Jack decided that he would wear the doctor outfit that he got for his birthday from Aunt Anne!  I thought that he was going to wear the gorilla costume (that still fits) for the third year in a row, but he decided that it would be too hot!

They loved parading down the halls for his preschool party (Julia's festivities were yesterday, since she only goes to school on Tuesdays/Thursdays)...

Jack's class...

Daddy flew in from CA the night before Halloween (at 2:00 a.m., so I guess it was already Halloween!) and then flew back to CA the same night, but he will tell you it was worth it!  Both kids were so excited this year for Halloween and they couldn't wait to go trick or treating!

These two were more than excited!

Julia's Halloween Party!

Julia loved dressing up as a pirate for her school party!

They paraded through the halls, played games, trick or treated and had a great time!

I was one of the party volunteers, so I got to see all of the action...and non-stop action it was!

Pick Your Plum

I love a good deal....and the kids love owls, so I couldn't pass up the daily Pick Your Plum special!
