HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
Some of my internet friends have been doing daily gratitude posts. I thought of joining, but just never did, so this morning I thought I would do one post about what I am thankful for. I have ALOT to be thankful for this year.
1. I am thankful for my wonderful children and their good health.
2. I am thankful for my spectacular husband and all the sweet things he does for me.
3. I am thankful for my job. I am one of the lucky ones who really like their job and look forward to going to work.
4. I am thankful that most of my Christmas shopping is done!
5. I am thankful that I am not hosting or cooking Thanksgiving Dinner this year. I am so looking forward to going to my sil, Jana and her girlfriend, Ursula's house for dinner this year. I cannot wait to have a big ole helping of my mil's Dixie Salad.
6. I am also thankful that Jake is pretty well potty trained. I took my last package of pull ups up to my sister Chantel this weekend and I'm glad I'm done buying diapers and pull ups! Rob called me this morning (I am at work) and he told me that Jake went #2 in the potty this morning without any prompting.
7. I am thankful for all my extended family. You are all great and we love you!
8. I have to do a special shout out to my Aunt Jeanette. We unexpectedly went to Delta to visit Monday night and came home Wednesday afternoon and she let me and my family invade her house for 2 days. She rocks!!! Oh, and we also got some hand me downs from her, too. Gotta love free clothes for the boys, lol!!
Eat lots of good food and have fun with your family! I know I will.

Christmas shopping
I am proud to say that it is still November and we are pretty much done with our Christmas shopping! YAY!! You don't know how happy that makes me. 2 weekends ago Rob and I dropped the kids off at Jan's (Rob's mom) and we went and put all the kids' gifts on layaway.
It is a tradition that each child gets a movie every year and this year I got smart and went online and ordered their movies on the internet. It was ALOT cheaper than paying $20 bucks a pop at the store for each movie.
I only have a few more things to pick up. I still have to get stocking stuffers. I'm gonna hit the dollar store and Target's $1 spot for those. Tonight I remembered that it's also a tradition to get each kid a new ornament every year, so I have to pick those up. I'm also debating on getting the kids' pictures done at Sears again this year. I have the coupons, now just to find the time!
So, how is your Christmas shopping going?

Parent Teacher conferences
A post without pictures. Let see if I can do it.
About a week or 2 ago we had Jordyn and Max's parent teacher conferences. The school calls them SEP's, but they'll always be PTC to me.
Anyway, Max's was first and he went into his class with his teacher and she did some short tests with him and then called me in. She said he's doing really great and learning well. He is good and has lots of friends. I was a little worried about him because he is a very young kindergartner. He didn't turn 5 until about 2 weeks after school started. The only thing we need to work on with him is his handwriting skills, which are actually pretty good for his age. But, that comes with fine motor skills which are one of the last things for boys to develop, if I remember anything from my Child Development classes from college. Max's teacher isn't worried, but wants us to work with him a little bit more so he doesn't fall behind.
Next was Jordyn's turn. While we waited for her teacher to be ready for us we waited in the hallway and looked at Jordyn's book of memories (I think that's what it was called). It was fun to look at some of the things she had done through out the year so far. Jordyn is turning into a little artist and takes great pains in drawing and coloring pictures.
When we got into the meeting Jordyn got a glowing report from her teacher. The only issue Mrs. Pollock was concerned with in regards to Jordyn is her spelling and her handwriting skills. Which I noticed and was going to bring up, too. So, we need to work with her more on that at home along with Max's writing skills.
So, all in all, really great reports for Jordyn and Max.
Si is in a different school and his SEP should be coming up soon!!

Max and Jake being silly
Rob got some new socks a while back and decided to put the packaging on the boys. They thought it was pretty funny.

I couldn't drag the kids away from the play area!
After we saw all the animals we all loaded up in a big trailer pulled by a tractor and headed out to the pumpkin patch and the small corn maze. We went through the maze and then took the trailer ride back to the main area. All the kids got a chance to take a ride on the train. They loved that!
Heres Jake and Tray on the "train"
Jordyn on the "train"
I didn't get any good pics of Max and Si on the train.
After the train we headed to the play area. I bet we played there for close to an hour, if not more.
Heres Jake on the teeter totter.
Here's Max on the swings shaped like horses. This was popular!

Heres Tray on the regular swings. We couldn't get him off those. I'd take him off to find somethng else and he'd cry, so I left him there and he was happy!
Queen of the hay pile!

Si helping with the swing ride. He did get to have a turn ON the ride, but I guess I didn't get any
pictures of him.

The Pumpkin Patch
Most of these pictures were taken by Si. I don't think I could have done any better. It's a good thing he wanted to take pictures, cuz I was so busy with the little boys, I wouldn't have been able to.
A face only a mother could love. Wait, I'm a mom and I think he's pretty cute. I've always wanted a pet pig.

Hmmm, who are you?

Sorry, didn't realize I had put so many rooster pics in. I don't know how to delete pictures once they are uploaded!
Look at these funny looking animals.
Oh, wait! They're mine!
I guess I'll take them home. Their dad will never forgive me if I leave them there.
Aaaack!! Maybe we should leave her at the farm, instead!
