Thankful

Alex had a school project this week to decorate a "turkey feather" with what he is thankful for. They would then put all the feathers on the turkey that they are making for the classroom. So, tonight I asked him what he was thankful for, and he responded: you, daddy and Reed. So, that's what he drew (well, he also added himself in!) I told him the letters that spelled the words but he wrote them and did it all himself. And now I am thankful for my sweet Alex!

Busy weekend

We packed a lot of fun into this weekend! First we went out for pizza Friday night - to a buffet - there are no pictures, thank goodness! It was a little crazy but the boys loved it. Then Saturday we had Alex's last soccer game (they are undefeated, Brian says!) where we got a team picture and a fun medal. I think Alex was as excited about the medal as he was about the soccer game! After soccer, we headed to the last home football game for the Tigers. We had a great time and they both sat and watched the game all the way to half time! Finally, on Sunday, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and visited the trains at the Collierville square. Busy, but great!

Cowboy hats, fall leaves and bathtub bubbles...

just another week at our house! Reed donned this cowboy hat, horse and boots to show off for Avis during dinner on Friday. All week we've been playing in the fall leaves and tonight we did bubble bath for the first time. All cute, all fun, all crazy!

Guess who slept in his big boy bed...

And we put the crib in the attic. So, we officially have two big boys!

Beautiful weekend

This past weekend, the weather was beautiful and really warm for November. Alex and Reed got to soak up the sun with Moz and Gramps, and they found a playground with a HUGE slide. They even made a pit stop for donuts. It's so much fun to see them really get to enjoy hanging out with the grandparents...and boy, do they ever enjoy it!

Halloween weekend at the lake

Since Alex and Reed don't really know when Halloween is or what you are supposed to do, we decided to skip trick or treat and head to the lake. After the rain on Friday, the weather cleared up and we enjoyed a beautiful weekend with Aunt Christie. We played outside, roasted hot dogs and watched a lot of football. It was a great fall weekend!

Halloween parties

Alex and Reed had their annual (well, Reed's first annual) Halloween party at school on Friday. It was raining so they had to do the pumpkin patch inside, but they still had a great time. The difference between the 2 year old pumpkin patch and the 4 year old one is something that I can not even describe! Either way, they both got pumpkins and had a party, and I got to spend some time with both. Happy Halloween!
