Jack gets photo with Santa

He finally did it! Jack had enough courage to sit on Santa's lap for a picture. He told him everything he wanted (Tractor Tipping game was at the top of his list) and is excited to show everyone his picture. Tyler was not interested in talking to Santa or sitting on his lap. He did wave to him and got a candy cane.

Yeah, Jack!

This past Saturday, was so exciting. I don't know who was more excited Jack or myself. They got to go in the diving pool. First, they dove off the edge and then, they got to go on the diving board. Jack was so happy, to finally get a chance to go in the "deep pool". He even tried to sneak in a extra turn. I need to up the lessons, so he can do swim team. I wonder if he likes the water, because I toon prenatal water aerobics?!!

Tyler my helper

Tyler got in on the action, when we painted on the 29th. He loves to help, with whatever I am doing. I thought a small brush would be the least messy. I kept the roller for me.

The kitchen and living room look very nice now.

Happy Birthday Tyler!

He is officially a 3 year old. He is really into "Cars", I think because his brother has been for the last three years. He really didn't have much of a choice. We celebrated with a cars cake from Robaire's Bakery. He got a scooter and his Flo's V8 cafe. The scooter was a big hit, especially once dad put it together. Tyler had one foot on it while he ate, since he didn't want Jack to ride it.

Jack's wisdom

Jack informed me that Maizy needs to go in her crate and think about
it. She was chewy on one of his toys.

Buzz & Woody

The boys have waited so long to wear their costumes. Jack said, "this is the best Halloween ever", since they had a parade and party at school. He also brought home a big bag of candy.  The night of Halloween was in the 30's due to the windchill. They had so many layers on and Tyler wore his mittens w/o a fuss.  We Trick or Treated in Cornerstone Esate subdivision. The McBryde's let us park in their driveway. Jack got scared by the Pirate at the second house. I think he made the couples night.  Jack & Elizabeth kept running ahead and Tyler had to be carried a few times. Toward the end, Tyler would just lay in the grass. They got lots of treats and lasted about a hour. Tyler fell asleep on the way home.

Today, they have enjoyed their candy and so has Dad. Tyler's favorite candy is Reese's PB cups and Jack likes the lollipops.
