This past Thanksgiving we had lots of fun visiting with family and eating lots of good food. While we were visiting my family we had a big soccer and kickball game with all the cousins, aunts and uncles and Grammy and Grandpa. Despite the fact that most of the kids cried when they struck out during kickball, it was lots of fun.

little artist
Laila's new favorite thing to do is drawing, well scribbling. It seems like every time I turn around she has found a crayon, marker, pencil, or pen that one of the kids has left out and is scribbling on any surface available to her. Luckily most of the time it is a piece of paper. She can sit for awhile and draw and is really concentrated on what she is doing. Heaven forbid I take whatever she is drawing with away or she'll scream and cry. Looks like we might have a future artist.

S.O.S. day
Today was kindergarten S.O.S. (someone special day) day at school. All of the children got to invite someone special to come visit them at school for a couple of hours. I was able to go up to the school with Aiden. All the classrooms had different centers set up with Thanksgiving crafts that the students and parents could make together. It was lots of fun, especially when Aiden saw me and yelled out excitedly "hi, mama!", that made my day. It was also funny to see him interact with the other kids. He couldn't get through a project without running off to say hi to one his friends. Aiden got out of school early, so I decided to take him, Ava, and Laila to McDonalds for lunch. We ate in the indoor playground. While we were there Ava had to go to the bathroom and I took with to the bathroom in the play area. Of course she had to go number two, and it took forever! With all the chaos of trying to help her while holding a baby, I forgot about Aiden playing on the playground alone. When we got out Aiden was no where to be seen and there was no one else around. At first I though he was hiding, so I called his name several times, still no Aiden, I looked around, still no Aiden. Then I remember the 2 shady characters who were sitting close by the play area, and noticed they had left with their trash still on the table, like they had left in a hurry. Oh boy, I though Aiden had been tricked to come outside with them and had been abducted. Just as I was about to run screaming through McDonalds or call 911, he shows up smiling and said , "Oh, I thought you went to the other bathroom, I went in there to wait." We will not be going to McDonalds to play for a long time!

mustache!
The other day I gave Dario some quarters to use on a bubble gum machine. Well, he found a machine filled with nothing but fake mustaches! I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take some pictures of the boys making crazy faces. Brian also turned 31 today. Oh, to be 31 again. Yes, that's right I have a husband who is younger than me!

halloween
This year we spent Halloween with my family. Everyone crashed at Grammy and Grandpa's house while they were out of town. We had a big slumber party complete with a scary movie, pizza, caramel apples and carmel popcorn and all of the kids got way to much candy from trick-or-treating. The next day was Ava's birthday and we had a party for her with all of the family (more pictures to come from her party).
