yup- we got lucky... two thanksgivings this year! but first, hunting camp!
cole had his very own "deer camp", courtesy of uncle tedly... and one of grandpa's left-over snap-on delivery boxes. he didn't see it friday night because he went to bed as soon as we got to my mom and dad's, but the next morning... wow!!
he calls it "coley's house"
big enough for madison, too!
and grandma... she fits in there too. everyone's welcome in cole's house!
everyone may be welcome, but it's a good idea to call first... just in case he forgot to get dressed.
oh, and cole has is own horse to go with his house... sorry, mom- that's not meant the way it sounded! (or maybe it's just payback for the "cole, let's watch mommy cut the cheese" comment... hahahah!)
i had to work saturday night, so the kids stayed with my mom until kelvin was don
e hunting- they were exhausted and slept incredibly well!
sunday thanksgiving with kelvin's parents... madison got some peek-a-boo time in.
and cole played a duet with his great-grandpa gene!
and we couldn't forget the old runway light... he plugged it in by himself, then promptly unplugged it when i caught him doing so.
he painted a picture... first time with watercolors! i even dated it, but forgot to bring it home. oops.
both kiddos played piano with auntie sarah!
(just playin' with the camera...)
and when uncle tedly came, well, they all played in cole's house! uncle ted learned a very important lesson: playtime starts when the mouthful of carrot is gone. cole choked, puked a little and auntie sarah caught it. poor kid! he was fine... eyes red and watery, voice a little choked up, he assured me that he was ok- "i 'k!!"
e hunting- they were exhausted and slept incredibly well!new skill. uh-oh.
sarah flew home sunday afternoon, so the kids and i went to mom and dad's (again) yesterday to spend the day with her. it was fun- cole clung pretty tightly all day to his "sawah"!
cole gave madi a ride on the car... too cute! they were playing nice while NOT confined in separate chairs!

whew.
what a weekend!

Sounds like you've had fun days! (I remember that runway light in their basement when they lived by us.. YEARS ago!!)
That box looks like a TON of fun!!! Sometimes I think that's all we should gift the kids on birthdays! And I LAUGHED when I saw Costco selling a cardboard "play house" for $20 --- Cole's is much cooler!! :) Glad you're having fun all as a family, but send Sarah back to MT soon! :)
hi lindsay-
do you think you'd be able to knit or crochet a cupcake hat for me? it doesn't look too complicated compared to your other stuff, but i also really don't have any ideas on how to do any of this :)
thanks,
britta
britta- sure!! i can try, anyway... :)
just shoot me an email with colors, size, etc- i've never done a cupcake one, but sounds like a fun thing to try!
