November Activites

A house full of boys. Rex and his cousin Ethan decided to create houses for themselves with cushions and chairs from around the house. The cushions have been removed from the couch along with the dining room chairs to create passage ways for entering and exiting their houses. What you can't see is that they have also gathered half of the pillows in the house to use as well.
In the family room, Chase and his friend Max created a large fort. The also used the cushions from the family room couch, the kitchen chairs, folding tables and every available sheet I could find. Underneath the sheets are the other half of the pillows in the house. Their fort included a sleeping room, game room and a weapons room.
Thanksgiving Day
We were able celebrate Thanksgiving at Wayne and Gwen's home. It was a wonderful event. This picture was taken as we were leaving. You can see we had a great time.

Indiana Jones and Indiana Jones
We rented the first Indiana Jones movie the other night and watched it with the boys. The next day the boys found these old hats of Les' and decided to become Indiana Jones and Indiana Jones. Chase has the whip and Rex has a toy gun in his hand. They decided that their Indiana Jones was not a professor but that he made bowling balls. It was very entertaining to watch and listen as they created their own adventures. Once again living proof that media does influence our children.


A day with Mom/Grandma
Grandma was so wonderful to join us for Chase and Rex's Primary program and dinner afterward. We love it when she comes to visit.
