Eventually, I guess, I will start keeping up again!!! So here has been our November...
First of all Kandis came to visit... then she left... for a LOOOONNNNG LOOOONNNNG time (I'll get over it eventually)... but she came back and we had SO MUCH fun!!!
First we made Rice Krispy sculptures
My sculpture!
this was all Kandis' idea... I think mostly because she felt guilty for leaving for so long... then having to go back to work, or some sort of weird thing like that.. and wanted to make her few days especially fun (I am sure that eventually I WILL get over it).
Then we ate them.... Canyon, of course, enjoyed his the most!!!
Then we had an EARLY Thanksgiving dinner... who can NOT have fun when there is SO MUCH food!!!
Then THIS happened...
Seriously though... she's in 5th grade... doesn't actually bother her a bit (She rather enjoys all the attention to be quite honest). She was at dance... but not actually dancing... and slipped on the hardwood floor. Thankfully she was never in too much pain and should be getting her cast off before Christmas.
Kailey had a Thanksgiving pie feast in her class...
there were about 10 pies... 5 varieties. These first graders were in HEAVEN!!!
And today we spent preparing for Thanksgiving!
We made some little turkeys...
Kailey tends to be our VERY most emotional child... this was her reaction when she got in a little trouble for licking a candy corn!! Yep... tears... we love our little Lou!
THEN we made THE MOST adorable little turkey basket to take rolls to Aunt Cindy's in. The kids decorated the feathers and I seriously think they had the most fun of any project we have ever done. In the several hours it took to make it... I don't think we had a moment of contention!! This is a moms dream!!! I sure have good kids!!!
lunch break, on the floor... because the table was COVERED
The finished feathersannnnd.... the mess
it was SO worth it though!
I will get another picture of the basket filled with rolls for Thanksgiving!! Its kinda hard to get a good picture of it in this picture.
I am so grateful and recognize many of the blessings I enjoy each and every day. CJ is closer to a diagnosis with part 1 of of one test completed today, a lumbar puncture (to check the pressure in his brain next week) and a "tilt table test" hopefully next week as well. We should have a good direction as to where he stands on the 8th of December when he meets with the specialist again. Thank you for all your prayers, I know they have blessed us in many, many ways.
So for now, thats all folks!
