Please don't come back snow

Mason was pretty attached to his Halloween bucket. He had to carry it around all the time even after we took the candy out of it

Kim is happy that Halloween is over because she doesn't have to walk by this house anymore to and from the bus stop

 Mason got a bath time photo shoot

 This is Lyza drawing Nixon with all of his details. She had him sit still while she drew him

 Lyza made this crown at school while they were learning about the letter N

 She went to be with all of these stickers on. It was a funny site to check on her before bed and see her passed out with a sticker on her forehead

 Mason loves these fish at the doctor's office

Nixon got a shot at the doctor's office. This is the conversation that he and Lyza had after 

 Mason is becoming quite the climber. Nothing is safe anymore

 The kids have enjoyed the little bit of snow that we had

 The annual moose sightings have begun

I took the big kids on a date last Saturday to Home Depot to made Hummers/Humvees as a Veterans Day activity

 They had a lot of fun. When it was over Lyza told me "Dad, I didn't think this was going to be a fun date, but it was a lot of fun." She made sure to tell the cashier the same thing.

 Getting Mason all ready for the snow is a chore right now

 Winter is pretty, but still not my favorite 

 Mason was so sick last Sunday that I brought him home after sacrament meeting and he fell asleep IN MY ARMS!

 Lyza has also been under the weather, but talking to Grandma helps make it better 

 Mason loved this activity

 So did Nixon

 This evening Lyza's homework assignment was to disguise the turkey. Of course she turned it into a dinosaur ;)

 The next best thing to giving Mason some medicine when he is sick is to let him play with the bottle (with supervision of course)

 We cleaned the church yesterday and the kids did their best to clean the glass (I am not sure if it made the task easier or harder for Kim)

 Our snow is gone (hopefully for good...) so that meant catching up on winterizing the yard. Mason, Nixon and I got the trampoline taken down, apple trees trimmed, some raking done, and the Christmas lights hung on the house (neither of them helped with hanging the lights)

Kim and I can't understand how someone can jump to sleep, but Mason does it all the time

Lyza has been practicing doing hand stands

She has also been teaching Nixon, which is entertaining

We hope you have a great week. Take care
