gobble gobble

this thanksgiving we are grateful for an abundance of blessings! three happy, healthy and wonderful kids are at the top of that list. two of our little blessings celebrated with thanksgiving feasts at school. hampton entered the party room wearing a handmade paper pilgrim bonnet, before feasting on a large collection of kid-friendly foods. coleman celebrated the following day with a progressive luncheon where he was able to construct his own sandwich with a variety of toppings. he stuck with ham and turkey, plain. that is, so he would have more time to select his desserts! we enjoyed a quiet thanksgiving at our home, with mema and papa morris. we all ate enough to sustain us for hibernation. uggh!

happy turkey day all! hoping this holiday season is stuffed with endless blessings for you!

cyclone celebration

today we celebrated the end of the cyclone football season with coleman and his team. we enjoyed a fun barbeque with his teammates and their families...complete with an awesome video presentation, football fun outside, and the collection of a trophy, bronze medal, and framed picture. they had a great 6-3 season...with a tough loss in the final bowl. coleman played incredibly well! we are so proud of him, and look forward to another year with the cyclones!

warrior princess

upon picking hampton up from preschool last week, she greeted me with full "warrior princess" makeup, necklace and headband! she later asked what a "warrior" was. the princess part, she has all to well figured out! hampton is having such fun in school, surprising me with artwork daily! she has taken a great liking to coloring (in the lines) and puzzles (without help)...if only she would sleep in her own bed at night!
