Getting ready for Thanksgiving

The kids and I brought out pilgrim hat making stuff to Mom and Dad's so that Dylan could help us make some for Thanksgiving.  Dylan and Mackinna couldn't stop licking the chocolate, Kaden kept stealing marshmallows.  We had fun and have some beautiful hats to eat.  Mackinna is giving one to Julia and Mrs. Bosse.  Kaden has one for Mrs. Barre, Mrs. Wescott, Tom and Nicholas.  Dylan took one home for himself, and one from Mommy and one for Bampy, but Shawn thinks Dylan actually plans to eat them all.

A little song

Here is a video from my phone from over the weekend of Kaden James singing and strumming on his guitar in his jams.

Nutcracker

We are going to see the Nutcracker later this month, so I found some clips online to show Kaden. He loves the mice & soldier battle scene and has watched probably 8 different performances of it by different ballet companies. I left the room for a minute and came back to find my computer on the stool and him dancing/ fighting along with the video!

Mackinna's Christmas list

Mackinna has asked that Santa bring her an electric blanket. What does that tell you about our house? Please don't call DHS on us!

Snow in October!

We had a good Nor'Easter over the weekend which brought us about 4 inches of heavy wet snow before Halloween.  Other places got it much worse, but we did lose our electricity for half a day and had to scramble to dig out winter coats snowboots and snow pants.  Kaden didn't have any snow mittens that fit so he was stuck wearing purple old ones of Mackinna's.  It didn't phase him though.  He had a blast shoveling, making a snow angel and throwing snowballs.  As the day warmed up, Mark found him sitting on the steps crying, "because he didn't waaaaant the snow to meeeeelllllt."
