Visions of sugarplums danced in their heads

When Dan put Nathaniel to bed last night, It got really quiet really fast.
When I went up to check on them, I found this

Christmas decorations went up this weekend.
Dan had built this shelf as an anniversary gift for the main purpose of where to put our stockings.

I'm in love with the outcome

How we spent Veterans Day

Dan was off, school was closed, so I took advantage & took the day off too so we could all hang out. Nathaniel had an appointment at the ENT dr to discuss tubes. The decision was made to hold off a little bit longer and they are to evaluate him during his next ear infection. The rest of the day was spent at home playing, watching tv and hanging out. It was great.

Family Fun

A few Nathaniel comments for the books:

--------

The other night at dinner, Dan gave Nathaniel an ultimatum as follows:

Dan "ONE: you can sit down & eat your dinner or TWO: you can go up to bed"
Nathaniel "and THREE: I could go downstairs and play".

--------

Nathaniel was telling me to do something and he spoke quickly so I didn't understand what he said, when I asked him to clarify he said "Mom, you heard me, ---------------"

--------

He & I went to the mall the other night. He gave me the entire directions on how to get there and what we would pass on our way, specifically the big bumps in the road. He knows if you say grocery store all the things we'll pass to get there. If I take an alternate route somewhere, he'll correct me on my driving.

--------

If I say we're going shopping, he'll ask if we're going to "Old Maybe" (old navy)

Audrey is getting big. We started introducing a little bit of food for fun this week.
Applesauce gave her a funny face, the oatmeal didn't get much reaction, bananas were yummy

Don't mind my mega bed head, I'm too lazy right now to crop me out of this pic.

She'll grow into the highchair....eventually

I let Nathaniel pick out a new hat. Of all the options, he chose this one:

Nathaniel took these next two pictures:
