Big helper!

I finally bought some stools to go with the bar yesterday. Max was "helping" Daddy put them together. You may not be able to hear him, but when Jesse would ask Max to "push," he would make a grunting noise! He was so funny and was so proud to help. After awhile, I took Macy and Max upstairs to play and Madison became Daddy's big helper. The stools look great in the basement!

Max's new shirt

Max got a new shirt! Doesn't he look handsome? :)

Bling

Growing up with sisters, Max loves to wear necklaces, and watch Dora...go figure, right? Here he is sporting his favorite "bling!" I love the fact that it almost reaches the floor! I also took a little video of him that also shows some of his words that he says now. Mama, Dadda, Maddie, Macy, Bumpa, Nana, Dora, Boots, Backpack, Map, and thank you. It's been fun seeing him catch on to things lately!

Turkey Day!

Mrs. Nieman, who helps out Daddy at school, brought these cute turkey cookies for the kids at school. She had enough to send home with us, so the kids loved them!!!! They were a perfect "Turkey Day" treat!!!! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Bumpa and Nana, Randy and Ellen, and of course, Sabrina, Chad, Ethan, and Emma at their house. Thanks for a great day!

Old toy does it again!

Our friend's Joy and Jeremy had given Madison this toy years ago. I'm sure most people have seen it at some point...pretty popular. Jesse happened to bring it upstairs tonight, and Max loved it!!!! He screamed every time the balls started popping! Ginger was unphased, as you see her laying down right next to it, and even getting hit by some of the balls. We will have many more fun times with this oldy, but goody!

Magnificant Mile

Our physical education teacher, Mrs. Erdman, had a Magnificant Mover club this fall. The final event was this past Sat. at WS school. She had a mile course to walk/run,

and then used cones with clues all over the playground for a "map" challenge. I brought Madison and Max along to walk with me, and we had a great time! Madison's good friend, Tess, was also there, so she was super excited to walk with Tess!

Spider cookies

We have a wonderful parent volunteer at school who has been making spider cookie "kits" for all Kindergarten students since her 4th grader was a K student. She has a little package of frosting, some licorice, and mini-m&m's for the eyes. She also brings enough for our girls to decorate, too. How sweet is that!

Our little monkey

Max rocked the monkey costume. He was so cute!

Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween this year! Lots of fun trick or treating with friends, and having a pizza party after. Max loved his new shirt from Robin (so did Mommy)! We also made a potato princess pumpkin this year for something different. I can't believe it is already Nov.!
