She makes me laugh

Here are some silly pictures of Olivia. I found the doll hat and the sunglasses and Livy wouldn't take them off. She is crazy and makes me laugh. She also found a play phone and would pick it up and say hi. She was sick so ignore her yucky nose and she just ate spaghetti.

1st trip to the dentist

Aubrey did really well. She would talk to him but it took a lot of convincing to open her mouth to take the xrays. He probably tried for over ten minute. She eventually did and did perfect the rest of the visit. No cavities! I snapped a few pictures while no one else was around.

We have been doing a few Thanksgiving activities that I thought I would share with you

The Painted turkey-I cut out a fan shape and drew lines on it for feathers. I then let Aubrey paint it how ever she wanted (for her age I only set out 4 colors). Once it was dry I cut out a turkey body and feet. I drew on the face and the wings and Aubrey glued it all together. Quick, Easy, and fun.We played "find the turkey". I just printed off a cute turkey (google turkey clip art). I printed ours on cardstock so it will hold up. Aubrey leaves the room and I hide the turkey. She then has to look for it. If she needs help we use the hot and cold method. she loves it.

We tried to sing some thanksgiving songs (there's a bunch here) but I just didn't like most of them. It seems like they all had to do with killing and eating the turkey...I was hoping for some happy fun songs (anyone know any?) Here is one I thought was okay.

5 Little Turkeys

Five little turkeys by the barn door,

one waddled off, then there were four.

Four little turkeys out under the tree,

One waddled off, then there were three.

Three little turkeys with nothing to do,

one waddled off , then there were two.

Two little turkeys in the noonday sun,

one waddled off, then there was one.

One little turkey-better run away!

Soon will come Thanksgiving day.

Through the end of the year we are just going to be working of seasonal/holiday projects and activities. We will start back up with our letter of the week in January.

Silly girl

Today Aubrey offered me some candy and I said no thanks (this was the third piece) . She responded with "no problem."

She also keeps saying "yes your Majesty." My sister use to say that when she was little.

A few days ago she asked for a few things right in a row while I was doing dishes. When I turned around she said "I make you crazy" with a big cheesy grin.

It snowed

My girls were so excited. They kept looking out the window all day.

What am I going to do with her?

Livy is adorable and has such a cute personality but she is sure stubborn. Over the last few days she keeps refusing her food (really not like her). I cave and give her stuff I know she likes and she will take one bite, gather it all in her hands, and then stand up in her high chair wanting to get out. She screams and throws a huge fit if you try to put her back in. So I take her out and let her eat walking around (yes I'm a great mom I know-she's tiny and needs to eat). Anyway Scott mentioned maybe it was her high chair she didn't like so the next morning when it all started again I took her out and put her at the table. Success! She started eating right away and was all smiles. I guess we are done with the highchair.

The Mayflower craft

Aubrey and I learned a little about the Mayflower and Pilgrims. I got this idea from a kids craft book I bought at the DI. I just printed a picture of the mayflower (I used this one). I folded a paper plate in half and then she colored both. Its so fun because you push one end down and it looks like the boat is rocking in the ocean.
