water to grow bigger!

I wish I would have taken a picture but the moment lapsed and it was over so I didnt have the time to snap it. we just got done planting our garden and the kids helped/ watched and love going out everyday and watering with me, they are soo excited for the seeds to pop up and show little sprouts. Lincoln(3)says everyday that "we are going to make the garden grow really big so we have to water it so it can get bigger" and we always tell him yep its just like people, we need water and food to grow bigger too. So we had the back door open after school yesterday and we heard Lyla just start crying so our first thought was she probably climbed on something and fell down but we walked out there and she was soaked in water and we looked at Lincoln and he was grinning from ear to ear and we asked him why in the world would you do that? And in such a simple way he said he was trying to make "yiya" grow bigger and be big like him! we all laughed and thought it was the cutest thing ever!

ps..we have our first sprouts of a cucumber plant popping up!! yay

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I love all the greatfulness and I just love how we wake up that day and its spent with family baking and cooking in the kitchen and its the start to the holiday season!! Plus the good food definately helps everyone enjoy that day. I had seen some cute ideas on pinterest for the kids to do something crafty with turkeys so I had everything ready and the kids had a blast putting these super cute turkeys together, they didnt last long because the min they made them they ate them. I am soo greatful for my beautiful family and I love that I am a mother to a bigger family and with that comes really fun holidays and lots of craziness.
