Space Week

Today kicked off space week at school--or so we thought. Bryce and I constructed this very authentic astronaut uniform last night for Tucker to wear to school for space day...

So, imagine the suprise I felt when I dropped Tucker off at school and watched child after child walk into school in normal clothes...did their parents forget b/c it was right after the Thanksgiving Holiday...are their outfits in thier bags to put on later...NO and NO--Tucker's teacher informed me when she put him in the car that space dress up day is on Wednesday---GREAT!!! So now I know why when the teacher opened the door to get Tucker out of the car she said (in a stunned sort of way) Ohhhh--what (not who, mind you) do we have here? And, as Tucker walked into school the teacher's literally were laughing so hard that I thought they were going to pee their pants. Good thing that Tucker is only three and he's a boy (and he's adorable)--in his mind he could wear this to school everyday and feel totally confident and comfortable! God Bless him! :)

Thanksgiving Feast

Tucker had his Thanksgiving Feast at school last week...here are some pics!

When Tucker came out all dressed as an indian he started doing the robot saying "I'm a wobot mommy!" Such an imagination...

dsf

Tucker and WesYou can see Tucker and all his cousins, Molly Morgan, Caroline, Clara, and Jake all coming up behind Tucker--I think that they were staring at the man in the AUTHENTIC Indian headress--that went all the way to the floor!


Gigi ate some sweet potato casserole from the comfort of her stroller--her mother is a germ-a-phobe!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Halloween 2009

One word for this post...totally...ANTI-CLIMATIC!!!! Well, my camera battery went dead and I couldn't find the charger, mom forgot her totally awesome camera, so between myself, Bryce, Lady, Poppy, David Giles, and Neesie (Clara) we have this one picture from Halloween and Bryce's bday...

Gigi is a precious little flower for her first halloween and Tucker was a farmer. Lady and Poppy, and David and Neesie dressed up too; to help hand out candy and see the kids dressed up! I did contemplate re-dressing the kids and staging another Halloween but... here's a picture of Tucker the morning after Halloween and I didn't want to have to go through that again...

This is what a child who doesn't get to eat candy looks like the morning after Halloween...SUGAR OVERLOAD!!!

Pumpkin Carve Off 2009

Every year we make the biggest deal about carving our pumpkins; not sure why but it's a big event at our house. So, we let Tucker stay up late and carve his pumpkin. By the time we got him to bed, I'll be honest, I was over the pumpkin carving so Bryce carved both our pumpkins this year. I must say Bryce is an EXCELLENT pumpkin carver!!

This is Tucker's spooky pumpkin face!!

Uhmm... yes that is a $1 store plastic table cloth...call me Kate Gosselin...but I still cleaned up pumpkin for at least 4 days!

Love this pumpkin! My concept but Bryce did all the work!

This is the GRAND FINALE!! Look at this pumpkin!!! Bryce worked for like 4 hours on this--so cool!!

Legs, Legs, Legs

Oh lord, the girl's got legs!!! I mentioned earlier that our girl has got some thunder thighs going on and I wasn't kidding!!! Just squeezable!!

Woodstock?!?

Before I post these pictures there are a few things that I want to explain:

1. Tucker does have clothes, that he wears, but he has decided that he likes to sleep in only his underwear, so most of the time he runs around in his underwear (which is just funny in and of itself) when he gets up from his nap unless we're going outside to play.


2. Poppy gave us these awesome Santana bongo drums, that are actually so nice that yes, I admit, sit by our fireplace as if they're an artifact from Africa! :)


3. The "black thrown" that Tucker is sitting in is actually the car seat that goes in Bryce's car, that he has played with all afternoon. A WHOLE CLOSET in our little house devoted to his toys and he plays with his car seat all day...go figure!! :)
