Snowglobe

We went to Willow Bend Mall today to check out the Snowglobe with "real" snow in it. The kids enjoyed it, but I think we took a little bit too much of it home with us in our clothes! The theme was Polar Express.

Caroline was not really crazy about it.

Christmas Events

We have had a busy December up to this point, we went to North Park Mall in Dallas yesterday to see the trains. The kids loved it! We made and painted homemade ornaments, which was another good craft that kept them busy for hours. Last Saturday we went to the Plano Area Mothers of Multiples Christmas party. My friend Amy and I were in charge of the entire event. I never realized how much work went into a party of that size! I think last year the total was around 300 for the event. I can't wait to see our numbers for this year. Mason, Kate and Caroline did get to see Santa. Mason ran up to him and let Santa hold him, so he got to tell him exactly what he wanted for Christmas. Kate was not so sure about him. I held her and she turned her head the opposite direction to tell Santa what she wanted. Maybe he got to hear a few of her requests. Caroline just stared at him. She did not cry, just a dead stare. The photographer hopefully got a few good shots! Check out the pictures below to see what our month has looked like - so far!

I thought you might like to get a peek of what we got to see! Trains were everywhere!

Caroline and Kate were still for just a minute so we could take a picture together.

Mason, Pearson and Kate in the Mall. They had a great time together and were all on their best behavior.

All of our ornaments we painted. Caroline painted the cross and the red tree on the bottom left corner all by herself. I thought that was pretty good for a 1 year old with a paint brush!

Before church on Sunday. They were doing their happy scream!

It's a snowy day! They did not stay out in it very long. Maybe 10 minutes and they were ready to come inside.

Caroline loves suckers! They get a "treat" when we go somewhere and everyone stays together as we should. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Caroline, Kate and Mason sitting together, this is rare!

Happy Fall!

Caroline was just too cute not to take her picture after church today. I would have taken pictures of the other two, but they would not sit still long enough for me! The cool weather was WONDERFUL today! Happy Fall!

Plano Balloon Festival

We went to the Plano Balloon Festival this weekend. The kids LOVED it! It is always fun to see all of the different types of balloons they have there, and the corn dogs were quite yummy too!

Daddy, Mason & Kate watching the balloons go up! It was hard to get any of them to look at the camera. I am not as interesting to watch as the balloons.

Corndogs are GOOD!

First Day of "School"

We have had a lot of Firsts around here lately. Tuesday we had our first day of "school". It is at least school to us right now! Mason & Kate LOVE to go to school. I hope they keep this attitude! Caroline is also crawling up the stairs now. She is STILL not ready to walk, but that does not stop her from going up!

Up Up Up! I think it is time to put gates back on the stairs. :) She thinks it is quite entertaining.

(Please excuse our clutter, this set of stairs is next to our Laundry Room.)

Ready for the Rain!

This past weekend I went to a HUGE consignment sale in Plano and found these raincoats. I decided that we MUST have them, since it is sure to rain at some point this "school" year right?? They love the coats so much we might use them for dress up too!
