Watch us grow!
The kids spent a good part of the day outside today. It was sunny but cold enough to need a couple layers.The kids set-up camp right in front of our front door at one point.
Peanut brought a bunch of his toys outside and remembered to bring them all in at the end of the day.
In the evening, Janie and Gavin collected snails and then made a “home” for them with lots of leaves and twigs.
The kids spent all day playing outside and took a break on the bench to watch a couple videos together. Peanut had his own “laptop” too.
They also had fun chasing Gavin’s Dad’s drone.
We had a Holiday Party with our neighborhood friends this evening and everyone had a fun time.
It was held at one of our houses and it was bustling with activity.
We had crafts for the kids while dinner was being prepared.
After dinner, the kids made gingerbread houses.
This is Janie’s house.
We managed to get all 10 kids in the photo together.
Here’s the whole group! What a fun evening!
Janie went outside with markers and paper and ended up bringing down her table and chairs to have some drawing time with Gavin. Collin and Peanut joined in a little later and they all were so cute at the table together.
We love our neighborhood and friends!
Mama had to do some studying so Dada set up the iPad in the garage for the kids to watch. Gavin and Collin later showed up and joined them. They shared fruit and watched Paw Patrol.
Peanut knows Gavin and Collin’s names now and so excited to hang out with them too.
He also loves the swings and does a great job holding on.
The squirt bottle has been a popular toy with all the neighborhood kids. Today, Peanut got to play with it and figured out how to squeeze the trigger. It later became a game of squirting all the big kids.
After a while, the kids lined up to get squirted one by one by the littlest dude on the block.
Janie made friends with the two boys next door. The older boy is just a month younger than her and his name is Gavin. He has a little brother named Collin and he’s 3. This evening, Gavin came by, rang the doorbell, and asked if “his new neighbor” could play. So cute! They went outside and played with their brooms and all the leaves on the sidewalk.
