Jaden's class sang a little  song today for Thanksgiving.  How adorable are these cutie pies!

Day 1

Weaning this girl off her paci.  So far, so good.  I'm weaning her off of it during the day only so far.  She can still have it for naps and bedtime.  I'm hoping to see a difference in her smile after she is off of it completely for a while.  Poor little baby...

All about me and crock pots

These two...
Last week was all about me week at preschool.  They made a life size version of themselves.  So cute.  Here is Jaden with his life size recreation.  He also got an award for being the best 'me' in the whole world. 
His teachers are seriously artsy... look at the shoes! 
Charlotte dragged the crock pot into the living room... I was making dinner in the kitchen.  I thought 'I wonder what she is doing'... this is what I see.   
Little dolly face! 

Pictures

Killing time...sick family...making pictures!
No one can ever accuse Charlotte of not loving animals! 
I love the look of concentration on her face 
No one will ever accuse Jaden of not loving trains!  With his Tree Fu Tom hair! 
tricky stickers 
Well done, kids, well done! (Jaden didn't allow any more photos to be taken of him during this time)

Vacuuming

 Indeed, I was vacuuming today... Jaden was sitting at the kitchen table...whence the dogs started barking fiercely at the back door.  They love to bark, so when I asked Jaden what they were barking at- you can imagine my surprise when he stated "the big bad wolf".  Ummmmmm.... whattttt!?  Usually they bark at a floating leaf, a hopping bunny, a lawn maintenance man...etc.  I was intrigued by his answer and went to see for myself.  Sure enough.  We had a big bad wolf in our back yard.  Just a-walking back and forth... pooped right along our fence while staring at us staring at him.  It was an interesting lunch hour!  I frantically called the neighbors... they didn't answer... must be out and about at a senior activity or such...I frantically called Jacob...he didn't answer...assuming he's also doing some sort of senior activity.  So we just observed this large animal in all his glory!

Try as you might...

 You can not pay me for doing what I love...(taking care of neighbor cats)(just to clarify).  I was asked to catsit again this weekend... and of course I jumped at the chance.  I mean, what else do I have to do.  So, anyway... it was the perfect opportunity to hide the money they tried to pay me with last time.  BTW...Jaden just told Jacob that Victoria doesn't like her babysitter... Her babysitter is scary.  Jacob seemed shocked and asked who her babysitter is.  Little does he know Sarah is the 'babysitter'.
Missy... watching me hide the treasure... 
Pumpkin... 20buckaroos for you.... 
Skull.... 20 buckaroos for youuuuu... 
Snoopy... 10 bucks for youuuuu... spend it wisely 
Mister... 20 buckaroos for you, sirrrrr 
And a chunk in the diet pepsi... Buy yourself some popcorn to go with that pop, neighbors!
the end... oh, but is it the end???
