It is hard to believe November is here! We have been just hanging out at home the past few weeks with a few visitors in between.
The past few weeks I have been trying to to do some fun activities with the boys at home. First, we tried a bubble bath toy car wash which the boys loved. Carter loved it because all of his precious cars got washed and Tucker loved it because of the bubbles. There was lots of water and bubbles everywhere, but thankfully it was an easy clean up. Tucker also thought it would be fun to eat the bubbles because he still to this day puts everything in his mouth. Next, we tried to make some edible finger paint. It was super easy and fun as well! Carter's favorite color right now is blue, so we got some food gel and dyed some plain yogurt blue and then they pretty much went to town. It started out so clean and really using just their fingers to paint, but then of course got a little crazy. Carter started clapping with the "paint" and taking whole handfuls of it, so of course little brother followed right along. We ended it after we ran out, oh and when Tucker decided to start painting his body. Nothing is really fun without a mess, so it was so fun to see them so excited about it. Oh and the best part was it was edible, so plenty was eaten as well!
That first weekend in November we tried out the nature center in town. It was small, but lots of snakes, turtles, reptiles, and animals for the boys to see. They loved the big huge turtles the most! Bret got out of work early that Saturday, so it was so great for him to come with us. Right behind the nature center is a lake in town, so we walked over there after and the boys threw rocks and sticks in the water which is always so fun for them.
This past week we have had lots of visitors come through which we LOVE! Our camp friends happened to be in town this week recruiting at San Angelo State, so we were able to host them while they were here Thursday night! Anna, Cole and Chief have been friends of ours since we started working at camp back in the day, so it was so fun to hang out and catch up with them! Our boys loved having friends over as well! We were sad to see them go after a night!
This weekend my family came into town! My mom, my brother Frankie, and my sister Angie all drove in Friday night! Right away my mom had special surprises for the boys. They both got new spiderman pajamas which they wore all weekend long AND a new truck and motorcycle. Our boys are so loved that is for sure. Friday night we just had dinner here at the house and hung out and played all night. They came on such a perfect weekend because the weather was BEAUTIFUL. Earlier this week we had freezing temperatures, but this weekend was 75 degrees and beautiful so we spent so much time outside playing. Saturday morning we went to feed the ducks down by the river and walked around for a little bit. Carter also wanted to take off his training wheels and try to ride his bike without them, so we tried that as well. He did great for his first time! We went up to Bret's store for lunch and after that morning we ALL came home and crashed for nap time. That afternoon we played soccer outside and then all went to dinner that evening in town. The boys loved having Itsy and Aunt Angie and Uncle Frank here. Frank and Tucker had this funny "da" thing that they did all weekend which was hilarious. Carter was spiderman all weekend and our boys just keep us laughing with their funny sayings they come up with everyday. Tucker's newest words are "what you doing" or "my turn" or "give it back" or will say "mmm mmm mm" and pretend like he is eating your arm (ha) or our family favorite: I wubba! Which Bret was saying this week how he already says it better now:( sad day for sure. He can pretty much just repeat anything now. It is so fun and awesome. Carter is just so smart and growing up way too fast. If you say something and he agrees now he will say "Si, Si, Si" in spanish which makes his daddy so happy because Bret wants him to learn spanish. Carter still loves going to school and loves his teacher Mrs. Amy. He also talks a lot about music class at school as well. He loves our church we go to here and always asks when school and church are. Well, he pretty much asks where we are going everyday. He is just Mr. Social and loves to go places and be around people.
