Sock Hands

Luke's latest obsession has been socks. But not on his feet, on his hands! He'll take them off his feet and ask me to put them on his hands. Today he found Daddy's socks so he could keep his own on his feet and wear Dad's on his hands (and arms). It looks like some sock puppets will be joining our home soon.

Handsome Boys

Need I say more?

PB&J with a Twist

I bought the boys "Uncrustable" sandwiches the other day and they devoured them! So I thought I might be able to replicate the fun by making our own uncrustables. We've had trains, turkeys, snowmen, and gingerbread men!

Hawkeye Express

Today we went to introduce the boys to some "new friends" (again, Kurt's words) and ride the train before the season ends.

Here we are with the conductor

And on the train, so excited while we're waiting for it to drive

The group of us (yeah, there was no way I was going to get 4 kids to look at me all at the same time...)

A picture with the engine

And I don't know why I like this picture so much but I do

Go Hawkeyes!

Daddy finished his big test and wanted to play with us all weekend! Yea! We went out for dinner and to a volleyball game.

Per someone's request- here is our ticket stub "scrapbooked" so we'll always remember it

The boys "dressed up" as Hurkey for the games

(that's what Kurt said when he'd get his shirt and hat on)

Luke mostly watches Hurkey roam through the crowd and calls to him, "Hurkey, Hurkey!"

(Ten points if you can find Hurkey in the crowd below us)

But when he came over, both of the boys froze and panicked. I made them both come with me for a picture, and by the looks on their faces, you can see that they weren't very happy about it

And we've been to enough games so that Brandon is an official member of the "Hawks Nest"

Mustache

Luke has started eating dinner again (yea!). Tonight we had enchiladas and he really enjoyed the sour cream!

Rough Day

In the morning, Luke tried to pull our fire extingisher off the wall. He was successful, but he must have also jammed it into his eye. Then later as we were outside playing in the leaves he completely turfed it on the patio. This is the day it happened.

This is 5 days later
