I am Thankful!

Oh Tuesday nights I take G Monkey to AWANA's at our church. This last Tuesday we celebrated Thanksgiving since next week we will be off. Well all the Cubbies (this is the club G Monkey is in) were asked to fill out a sheet of paper that said "I am Thankful". Of course the Cubbie Leaders helped the group fill out the paper. Here is what G Monkey is Thankful for. I didn't alter the order in which she said all of these they are in the exact order in which she said the list. I know cause I was listening when she made her list. :)
1. God
2. Mom and Dad
3. Flowers
4. Kids (I'm guessing she's including B Monkey in this)
5. Scarecrows
6. Plants
7. Pokie things. (We aren't sure what this is)

Now I know what we are teaching her by loving God first is sinking in. It just melted my heart when I heard her make her list. She is only 4 years old and put God before all things. Also she was the only kid in her club who even mentioned God. I'm so proud of my little monkey.

The next Basketball Star

A while back B Monkey got a gc to toys r us. Thank you AJ and US. Well I was able to get this basketball set up for B Monkey. We finally had a chance to put it together today. Boy did he have fun with this. Just check out the photos.



B Monkey with his Apple Turkey

B Monkey was very proud of his craft that he did. You should have heard him when Daddy got home that night. Just melted my heart!!

Arts and Crafts - Thanksgiving

Okay so the this is a fault of having a mom who remembers arts and crafts from when she was a child. I did get some help with the apple turkey, as far as what we used. But the foot turkey is my own. The Apple turkey is B Monkey's and the foot turkey is G Monkey's. G Monkey made her apple turkey tonight and I haven't had a chance to upload the pictures yet.

G Monkey's Birthday


We celebrated G Monkey's birthday with a few friends and family. One of her gifts was an easel with paper, chalk, and pens. One day G Monkey wanted to use the chalkboard side, this is her creation. No one helped her draw at all. We just looked up when she said she was done. What an artist G Monkey can be when she want to be. :)

Halloween

Well for Halloween we went to our Church's Harvest Festival. That night we had some friends from church join us for dinner before going over to church. The kids had a blast having friends over for dinner and then to go out with. B-Monkey and I did some errands in the morning and then picked G-Monkey up from school. This is what I found when I checked on B-Monkey that day during nap time. Poor guy. I guess he just couldn't decided what he wanted to do. I did put him back in his bed and cover him up. He slept through the entire thing.

Then we had are friends over for dinner and wondered over to the festival. This picture is of all the family at the end of the evening. B-Monkey walked away with lots of candy. G-Monkey didn't walk away with much candy cause she choose to spend her time on the blow up slide. :)


We then went home and got ready for the next day of fun and excitement.

Catch up Time.

Okay I know I've flaked a bit with blogging. We have just been so busy, that by the time I get a break the last think I really think about doing is blogging. So tonight I will try and catch you all up with what we've been doing. For starters like my new playlist? Oh the good old days when we didn't have to do much but try and be good.
