A Day At The Mall

Since Dayna is on official bed rest until the baby is born I decided to take Brooke out for the day and experience the sights and sounds of Christmas at the mall.
She looked in all the toys stores and loved what she saw! She added everything to her Christmas list!

She had her pictures taken with Santa but they don't allow personal cameras so I will have to scan the picture and post it later.
The popcorn was a good treat while we walked and walked.

Watching how they made chocolate covered everything!

The Disney Store with all the princesses.

And finally....all tuckered out! What a fun day at the mall!

Tyler's 7th birthday was Nov. 19. His family birthday party was a Mario Bros. theme.

Heather had all the family over for a great celebration and terrific dinner.

A Child's Perspective

I was reading The Friend with Tyler the other day. There was this game. There were many pictures and in each picture there were family members making either a right choice or wrong choice to make the home happy. If it was a right choice...then Tyler was to circle the letter in blue. If it was a wrong choice then he was to circle the letter in red. In the end all the circled letters spelled a word.
So we went thru the pictures and this one was very obvious.
And this one was too....

Then we came to this picture and Tyler immediately circled the correct letter....but I asked him why. He said "The mom is making too much noice vacuuming while the boy is trying to play his video game."

He got the letter right....but what the picture is telling us is that the boy should be helping his mother vacuum instead of playing the video game.....A child's perspective!

Autumn at the Lake

A beautiful Saturday morning to experience Autumn at the Lake.

However...our main goal was to fit Debbie and Ryan's camper into the lakehouse garage...which we did.

While Jill is away.......

Scott will work. Raked and burned leaves....awwww....don't you wish you could smell the smells of autumn?

Too sunny to look up!

But not too cold for Kobe to go for a swim!

A good morning at the lake!
