The Masser's came to see us

IMG_5235
The Masser family came to stay with us on Tuesday night before all of us drove to Nana's and Papa's for Thanksgiving!
Alli and London had fun laying on the little couch and watching a movie.

Clayton and Sydney were eating some tortilla. Clay took over Sydney's pillow but I don't think she minded.

Today at preschool, Shaylee and Alli had their Thanksgiving feasts. Alli’s teacher said she was a good eater. She tried everything and ate it all gone. They also said that she was usually the last one finished during snack time. :) Thats my girl!

One thing the kids like doing in the bath tub is making faces against the glass to me. So funny!!!

Alli can do the monkey bars all by herself, all the way from beginning to end! Way to go Alli!

Pretty fall colors!

Shaylee, Allison and Grace (oh and Clay...he is in the stroller almost asleep) had a wonderful day at the park.

Hermit Crab #1

IMG_5073
Our first crab drinking from his water bowl. However, we are sad to say that several days after we got this crab, it died. We are now happy owners of a new crab!

Ranch Sauce

Clayton eating celery and ranch dressing.

Mommy's Roast

IMG_5079
Allison loved Mommy’s roast and cream peas. A favorite dish of mine from childhood. She didn’t care for the potatoes and carrots though! We usually end up having several veggies to eat because both of my kids would rather veggies than meet (except this night).

Sunglasses

IMG_5076
Clay sporting Grace’s sunglasses.

Dress Up with Grace and Clay

IMG_5087
Clay and Grace were playing dress up. It was a little sad because all we have are girl dress up clothes. Clay seemed to think his skirt was rather funny.

IMG_5083
I think Grace was wearing everything from Alli’s dress up box.
