More catching up... Oct-Dec 2011

 October


We took the boys to an italian bistro.


 I made Ninja Turtle shells from cardboard for the boys' costumes (Nathan was the fourth turtle).

Then I made weapons from cardboard...


The four of them were a big hit at the ward Halloween party (I was April O'Neil). Liam and I changed costumes to go trick o' treating. He wanted to be Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas (The painted ribcage T-shirt was the best I could do). I was simply a black cat.



November

Around Halloween I had made a soft skeleton at Liam's request. 
It became his favorite toy for several months.

I made cupcakes for my birthday (I didn't want icing, don't judge me!). I also found out I was pregnant!

I experimented with making homemade tortillas. Though not perfect, we all loved them.


Occasionally, the boys still used their turtle shells.

December

The boys wanted to help me make pizza dough.

We flew to Massachusetts to be with Grandma and Grandpa Shirley for Christmas. The boys had fun with there only cousin, Katelyn.


Owen helped Ronan figure out what to do with his presents.



The boys were a little disappointed that there was no snow while we were there.
Liam also had a bike waiting for him at home in Florida so he could ride to the preschool with me. The preschool let us leave his bike in the lobby area while he was in class so I wouldn't have to haul it around. When we got home it turned out the bike was a little small so we kept it for Owen (which made Owen happy!) and got Liam a bigger one.
