Chefs for the Day

Poor McGinnis. As you can see, Emma has decided to "share" an apron with him. I think they were pretending to be chefs that day. One day, Emma will be forced to play boy games, or play elsewhere. At least they play well together for now.

Thanksgiving

So, I guess a few pictures are better than no pictures at all. Luckily, I had uploaded these pictures from Thanksgiving Day to Blogger before the hard drive crashed. I had some really cute pictures to add, too! Needless to say, I am completely bummed, but I will offer a little advice: "Backup your hard drives, people!!" I wish I had backed up mine a little more recently. I am thankful that I think I only lost my Halloween and Thanksgiving pictures. It could have been MUCH worse. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Spaghetti Face

Do you think he might like spaghetti? It's a good thing, since we have lots of leftovers!

Playing with Cans

Who ever thought that a case of Diet Cokes could be so much fun? And who would have thought a 4 year old and a 14 month old could play together with it? Well, this morning McGinnis starting taking the cans out of the box and bringing them to Emma. This turned into a building exercise, and then into rolling them on the floor, and then stacking them on the tray, etc, etc, etc. I'm so glad they had so much fun. Mama had to pull the plug when they started tossing them down the stairs!

Playing in the Tent

Emma has a tent that the kids love to play in! McGinnis thinks he is just as big as Emma, and loves to play inside it, too. We are also building quite a few tents with blankets these days. Oh the joys of childhood!

Playing Outside

Sometimes after school, Emma's friend Connor comes over to play. They love to play outside together. They have decided that it is really fun to slide together, and of course, collapse in a pile at the bottom. Here's a picture of them holding Mac (who is almost as big as they are!) at the top.

More Halloween Pictures

Yep, Emma has learned how to cross her eyes! Now the mother in me is saying, "Stop it or your eyes will stick like that!"
