It's December!!!

So I've fallen a little behind with this blog... Here are some random pictures to catch up with ;-)
 We have had some not so fun sickies in November... Twice for this poor little one.  This was after, once again telling us repeatedly that she didn't feel good, a nice warm bath to get all the vomit off of her.  This is how she ended up for a moment while we got everything put back to normal, passed out in a ball with the puke bowl.  She has become very close and attached to this thing.  She asks for it several times a week.  And now, we are on laxatives and going for a blood test in the morning to rule out more yucky stuff... Poor Pip!!!
 But besides not feeling so well... She manages to succeed in school.  Here is her number roll she works on periodically.  She had just gotten to 100! All on her own....
 And the last Feast day at Pre-school. 
 Some how they orchestrate 40 kids into one room at a lonnnng table.  And every parent there should be proud.  All of these kids sat and waited quietly while they were served.  There were lot's of no thank you's (meat and veggies) and yes please (pudding and corn bread) used.  They even sang a "thankful" song and signed all the words to it.  Clara is on the left in the blue.
 Happy Turkey Day....
 Time to let our creative juices flow... Owen made quite the colorful gingerbread man...
 Cheese.....
 More cheese....
 And the beginning of the end of her gingerbread man's decorations :-)

 I think this is a gingerbread lady....
 and a gingerbread Picasso...
 A little ride for Nattie on Grammy's scooter!
 And a very sweet Auntie Jennifer who made tea for the girls in the middle of making all of us a wonderful dinner.
 I had to post this... It's such a  nice picture! We love our Auntie and Papa.... LOTS!
 Here is Clara's new look....Attractive eh?
 And Chad's new look too!!! Finally, I have my handsome man back from that terrible Movemeber...
 Nana... Since your not here and we had to get started on our first holiday treats.... We did this in honor of you! Clara kept reminding me... This is not how Nana does it ;-)
 TA - DA!
 On this day, our advent calender had us make snow man pizza's! 
 And they got busy!
 I was actually quite impressed....
 And most of these made it in someones mouth.... I think she might even be telling me "it's ok Mommy".
 Almost done....
 SO.... I thought this would be fun to eat... Natalie dug right in, but Clara was not happy that the cheese was browned and cried over it being to hot, until it was cold....
 These pictures are for Daddy...

 I believe... she was thinking... I can't smile any harder Mom... now stop telling me to say Cheese!!! SHEESH, as Natalie now says to us all the time!
One day, she'll have it down like her big sis'....

Boooo!!!! Happy Halloween....

 It's not Halloween yet... But these are two silly haired girls... We don't need costumes today :-)
 And lots and lots of wrestling.... This was actually quite entertaining to watch.  They were really going at it!  Clara just might be in trouble one day if Natalie gets bigger than her!
 Tap out...
 Natalie is really into saying "I'm dead"... Here she is telling us she's dead... Sounds kinda morbid!
 A little buck never hurt anyone!
 Silly girls.....
 Happy Halloween!!!
Getting ready to go to the Halloween party at Clara's school...

 Strawberry Shortcake...
 And the good little witch....
 She just needed a broomstick between those legs and she would've really looked like she was flying!


 Crafting at school..... Making a pumpkin with beads.
 and a fun little bracelet...

Such cute little trick or treaters.....
 And a very sweet little hug before our knock at the door.

 TRICK OR TREAT!!
 Clara told me... "take a picture of me Mom, I'm no noggin" !
 And a relaxing little bath this morning.  Natalie loves to lay like this in the tub.  Hopefully we can get her to swim this summer!
The bath is not complete without a ride on Sissy's back!
