Keeping Busy

I made homemade play dough for the first time ever so Isarel could play with it. He usually eats a decent chunk of it so I feel better knowing he wasn't eating a ton of artificial dye. But making it yourself is easy but MESSY. Def easier to buy it. I also tried to make it pink with raspberry juice but apparently it takes a ton of natural dye to dye a big ball of play dough. Either way it keep the kids busy for a good 10 min. Mission accomplished. :o)

Israel and his buddy Emily get messy with play dough.

This is what happens when I forget to close the pantry. Israel always finds his way to the snacks. You would think I didn't feed the kid! He gets Keira involved. I was doing the dishes and next thing I know they are both sitting on the floor chowing down.

K's first ballet recital

K is second from L

Here and the rest of the pics she is third from the Left.

Keira had a fabulous time dancing in her first ballet recital. It was adorable. She loved every min of it and didn't want to take off her costume after it was over. " Can I go on the stage and dance again???" She asked me over and over!

HOUSE

We put it back on the market. Different agency and different realtor. Hope for some results this time. We had a showing last week and an open house tomorrow. We figured if we were going to move anyways we might as well do it before baby number 3 arrives as we figure it will be easier.

Baby number 3- 24 weeks!!

Painting ornaments

I got some wooden ornaments for 39cents each at Jo- Ann's and Keira and daddy painted them and made them all glittery. Can anyone tell which ornament Mike painted???? :o)

making cookies

Our kids love to make a mess---I mean bake- with daddy!

Frosting Christmas cookies

Our best shot with Santa

I never bring my kids to the mall so they can sit on Santa's lap. As you can see they are clearly terrified by him. Mikes work had a Christmas party for kids and Santa was there so we did the sit with Santa and take a pic thing.... Keira wouldn't get any closer or sit on his lap hence her sitting on the arm chair and Israel's face depicts what he thought of Santa perfectly.

Israel's first time out

Daddy places Israel in our time out spot... ( I told Mike Israel was way to young to understand time out but Mike wanted to try it anyways...)

Israel waves his arms up and down in excitement ( he has seen Keira placed here way to many times!!!) "This is fun daddy!"

"But you can't make me stay here! I'm outta here!"

Mike tried to place him back in time out about 5 times and each time Israel got up and laughed and it became a game....

My little helper

Do I look like my dad or what??

Yeah we still aren't sure either. Some days I swear he looks like Mike and other days I don't know who he looks like.

Keira's photo shoot

We are keeping her busy with lots of fun advent stuff and will soon begin cookie making!! Yum!

Christmas Parade

Keira and Israel's first parade experience. At first they were both cranky from having to bundle up but then they got caught up in the noise and lights and had a great time. It was cold though!!!!!!!!!!
