Thankful

We are so happy to be celebrating Thanksgiving in the land of turkey and pumpkin! Last year a very thoughtful friend sent us a can of pumpkin and I shared a big batch of pumpkin spice cupcakes with all our American friends because it was too precious to keep to ourselves. Aside from the ease of shopping here, we are thankful for a multitude of blessings this year - family, good health, happy kids, the list could go on and on. I love sharing this with the kids and hearing what they're thankful for as well.

Ben and Alex are also getting caught up in decorating for the holidays so yesterday we made hand turkeys and they spend the evening doing the "turkey tango" with them. Not sure where these ideas originate but they're fun to watch.

My little guys are getting very artistic these days, thanks in part to some of the kindergarten assignments Ben brings home and part due to longer attention spans, I think. The kitchen counter is such a great space for them to get creative while I cook on the other side.

They're also loving the laundry. I'm cheering for this one! They worked together to empty the dryer and move the clean clothes out of the washer....hooray!!

They're also enjoying the jeep again these days, thanks to cooler weather and a new battery that lasts a lot longer. Alex was driving and Ben was consulting the map.

Ben got himself dressed recently and came back with some extra clothes...

...and naturally Thing 2 had to follow suit about 12 seconds later.

Alex has some new moves these days. Loving the booty shake and the breakdancing on the floor.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving!
