Giving Thanks!

Thanksgiving was quiet at our house this year. Just the four of us and Rob's Mom. We had all the traditional fare (turkey, in-the-bird stuffing, cranberry stuff, mashed potatoes) and, boy oh boy, was it GOOD!! Bo only asked for one thing......apple pie. I asked him to help me with it and Anna had to join in, she couldn't be left out in the cold!!
Then she just wanted the apple.....forget the pie!! LOL

Then my son did something that touched us....we found him in the scrapbook room folding little slips of paper. He asked if daddy would take him on his bike with his backpack full of "cards" and deliver them to the neighbors....

which he did.....to every house! He put all of the cards into his backpack, got on his bike and went to every door. He knocked and if someone answered, he handed them a "card" and said Happy Thanksgiving! Rob said he went to about 20-30 houses. Some people were home, some were not, but he was bound and determined to tell everyone Happy Thanksgiving!

T-Ball!

Bo played his first season of T-Ball this fall. They move them around to all the positions, so they can learn them all, everyone plays, everyone bats around each inning and no one gets out. I know, I know, but they are 4 and 5 just learning.....let them have some fun!! :o)

By the end of the season, they were pitching the kids the ball instead of them using the T. If after 3 or 4 pitches they were struggling, they brought out the T so they could hit it. By the last game, each at bat, Bo hit the pitched ball.

Here he is with Coach Bill getting his year end trophy! He was so proud!! He can't wait for the next season to start!
