Dads and Dudes

Today was dads and dudes day at Moss Haven elementary. The dude is if you don't have a dad, but you have a dude who is important in your life that can come to school with you. Lee met Madeleine for lunch and ate the same lunch that she did! It was Thanksgiving themed, complete with the stuffing! Here are some pictures (I was at the school helping cut shapes out of construction paper...)

in the lunch line, the lunch cost $2.90.

writing

I love it when Madeleine spontaneously writes on her own! For those who need a translation, this says, "Mom love Everett and Madeleine and Lee and Kerry (hearts) love 4235" Madeleine only asked for help with the word love, that's why the u has an o inside of it.

I was gone for a second...

Madeleine was playing with her make-up at the kitchen table and Everett was throwing his basketball. So, I went outside to get the mail for one minute, and when I came back Everett had make-up on too! I love how Madeleine puts eye shadow on above the eyebrow.

Sometimes, less is more...

Hats

First, Everett wanted to be a knight...

then he wanted to try on Madeleine's bike helmet,

for about one second. And then he wanted it off... NOW!

Oak Lawn UMC Trunk or Treat

We had such a blast at Oak Lawn UMC's Trunk or Treat. We love Oak Lawn UMC! Here is a picture from the wonderful photo area at the trunk or treat. I just received the photo so I scanned it, and posted it! Everett is Tony Romo and Madeleine is a ballerina!

Gorgeous Fall Days

Friday was beautiful here in Dallas, so I set up the bounce house (all by myself, thank you very much!) and Everett bounced in our bounce house for the first time! Every time before he refused, clutching on to me with all his might, but he has bounced on a few bounce houses since then at fall carnivals. He was eager to bounce this time!

Everett has a new cute thing. He speaks so many more words and his latest one is "cared" short for scared. Whenever we see a dog or cat, he wants to be picked up and then he says, "cared." Tonight we went to a party where they had a trampoline. Everett kept saying, "cared," so I sat on the trampoline with him until he got used to it. He is just so sweet when he lowers his head and says, "cared."

Today we did some yard work outside (I mowed, Lee blew leaves), and the kids rode their bikes. (I push Everett's) Madeleine has requested that her training wheels be taken off, what do you think? Movie below...
