Dillon's Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Dillon's preschool had a "feast" for parents. The kids performed songs and sayings. It was super cute. I was very glad I was able to go and spend some time with him. He did a great job performing, considering all the parents staring at them. He also got to show me some of his artwork from class. Here are some photos and videos :)

Singing and Last Bath

Lily has been singing Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call me maybe" lately. I had to get her on video. She even has Dillon singing it. And Lacy I had a video of Lacy doing her happy dance, but I can't get it to upload :( I think it's too big.

Last bath with all 3 together. It's getting too crowded so Daddy is having Lily take her own bath/shower now... makes me very sad!

Dillon's Preschool Halloween Parade

Nana and Papa went to Dillon's preschool today to see him in his parade! They dressed Lacy up too. She was a lion. I remember when Lily wore that lion costume...seems like just yesterday! Dillon's parade/party got moved to today since school was cancelled on Tuesday because of the weather.

 It's funny Dillon's walking with that little princess. That's the same princess outfit that Lily was for Halloween!

 Nana said he was being a stinker and wouldn't smile.

 And a few photos from a few weeks ago, jumping in the leaves. We don't have enough leaves to do that here at our house, so I'm glad they got to do that at Nana & Papa's. We had so many leaves at our other house that we purposely looked for a house without a lot of trees :) LOL!

Lacy is talking more and more these days. Here are some of her words and a few recent sentences she has said:

• "Mouse" for Mickey or Minnie
• "blankie"
• "upstairs"
• "pumkin" for pumpkin
• "Iggy" for Lily - just like Dillon does
• "Nite!"
• "I want...JUICE" - for water, milk, juice, any drink
• "Noooo" even when we ask her to say "yes" she says "no"
• "I have boo-boo" I asked her where she got it and she said "Papa's house"
• "I want pee potty"

Dillon is doing much better going to school without Lily. He doesn't cry anymore when Nana or Papa drop him off. Some days he's a very good boy and helper, but we still have some challenging days with him. We do think preschool is helping, though.

Lily is doing great in school and is learning alot. She's been sounding out words really well and practicing her handwriting. She loves doing homework, too. She got her first "strike" today for screaming and turning off the light in the restroom.

Happy Halloween!

We were supposed to go to Boo at the Akron Zoo on Saturday evening with our good friends, Jen & Ken and their kids, but the weather was rainy and cold so we opted to skip it this year. Instead, we carved our pumpkins :)

I love Lily's disgusted look. She's such a girly girl :)

Drawing a face on his pumpkin

Lily gave Lacy her little pumpkin to play with.

Lily got tired of scooping out the pumpkin seeds so she colored Dillon's pumpkin.

Samba!

Anson drawing a face on my pumpkin - love his tongue face. You can tell he's really concentrating!

All the pumpkins! Lily's also holding the little mummy candle she made at school.

Anson dressed up as Lance Armstrong! He won 3rd Place at his work!

Halloween night before we went trick-or-treating.

All dressed up and ready to go. It was so cold and rainy that they had to wear their winter coats, hats and gloves.

Nana and Papa came over to help pass out candy and watch Lacy while we took Lil and Dil. We were going to take Lacy too, but since the weather was so bad we decided to keep her at home and warm. Lil and Dil got enough candy to share with her and then some! And we didn't even go to all the houses on our street!

Silly Papa acting like he's going to eat some of Lily's candy!
