Litterbug

Joel was out with Sawyer and Joel had Soy sitting on the trunk of the car and they were eating some snacks and Joel had dropped a cracker on the ground.
Joel- "Isn't this fun Soy"
Soy- "Yeah Dad, you know what's not fun, littering right here."
Joel- "Littering?"
Soy- "Yeah, you dropped that cracker on the ground."
Joel- "Where did you learn that?"
Soy- "Teacher Nareh"


Joel was sitting down watching a football game and Soy came up to him and said- "May I sit by you?" and then he asked "Why do you watch this stuff Dad?"

I put London down early because she missed her nap and let Soy stay up. We played Spongebob memory and drank hot chocolate. We had to say "cheers" everytime we took a drink. It was so sweet. It's moments like that that make motherhood so much fun. I wish I had a perfect recall memory so I could play back moments like this later down the road.

Thanksgiving Turkeys

Our craft project for our weekly night in with the Cavanaughs.

Preschool

Sawyer did a nine week preschool program through the city. He had a lot of fun and made lots of new friends. His teachers said that his obedience and attention span improved during the program......if this is true he definitely needs to go back!

Baby Blues

Sawyer wanted to play with the band, so he got two pencils and hit them together-- it was sooo cute!
They weren't quite comfortable hugging Frosty. Frosty finally got a high five.

So these past couple weeks before big baby day have been rough (probably the roughest on Joel--but lets focus on me). I don't remember getting this emotional before the other babies were born. I'm hoping this replaces the postpartum emotional roller coaster and not just a sample of things to come!

But I got out with the kids tonight and we went to a Christmas event on Magnolia Blvd, downtown Burbank, and listened to carolers, saw Santa, ate too many treats, drank too much hot cocoa, and watched a pirate band (yeah I don't know --it's California) But it was fun and boosted my spirits. Yay for Christmas!

Booger Gum

So I was trying to teach Sawyer today what the word "imagination" meant.
Sawyer- "Mom, sometimes I pretend that my boogers are gum"
Mom-"That is so gross Sawyer!"
Sawyer- "Mom! Just use your imagination!"

Sandwich Monster Forest

So in the middle of the night Sawyer informed me that he had a dream that he went behind a bush and got stung by a bee on his hand and he as quite upset about it.
Then this morning he woke me up and told me about how he had to run from the Sandwich monster in the Sandwich Monster Forest and that Megan, Mckenzie, Casey, and London had to run too and he had to become a pirate to save them and slice the monster in half. I asked him if he ate the monster but he said the bread was ruined.

Sawyers Dreams

Almost every morning Sawyer wakes up and tells me about a new dream he had. This morning he woke up and I asked him what he dreamed about and he said "Deep Sea Hunt" (A TV show from one of his books) and he said there were lots of sharks all around him and his friends shark came and got mad at the other sharks. He said a lot of other stuff but that was all I remembered. It's so different every morning. He had a phase where every morning he woke up with a story about Calliou (this TV character) like saving Calliou from the dragon. I need to keep track of them more.
