Best??? holiday

Jake informed me it was the BEST holiday he has ever had, so thankful for a child that is simple in what makes him happy!
We started out day with blackmail ,persuasion.conjoling,pressure,and a quick tug and a TOOTH out!! a few tears then a HUGE smile and thank you Granny I'm so happy my tooth is out!!
Rewards were under pressure a SMALL toy like a hot wheel car! and donuts for breakfast! there is a Large tooth already grown behind his pulled tooth as you can see on the picture and he LOVES his big boy tooth.
At the Dunkin Donuts they forgot my Coffee so I eventually Got it and they refunded my money :) the boys Loved their donuts,
at Target Ian of course wants a Toy, so I let him have a very cheap car and Jake a cheap one , two happy boys!!
Once we got home I had bought my Sticker collection to go through and they each selected a Large amount, there were some cool ones. tools for Ian. Fire man. Police, hunters,animals etc,
Next we did snow flakes for Mommy I bought special scissors and they turned out really well!! the kids were just loving all the Fun,
our next craft was I bought my old stencils and Jake stenciled a great picture, Ian refused help he is TOO independent!! but he loved the stencils
Still not satisfied they made pictures with their stickers,
we then baked cookies!!!
so much time spare when not getting ready and driving to pick up from pre school and pr school,
Friday we plan all being well to go out.
Jake so Badly wanted a Craft day so this was REALLY fun for him, Ian loves it too,
Jake is getting so creative!!
what a Lovely day we have had. now the little one is sleeping and Jake and I are taking it easy!
Seems like a  very productive day!!

The eyes are watery today

If there is one way to get a  mommy and a Granny to get watery eyes its to watch a kindergarton

 boy in his thanksgiving play, especially when he says hes thankful for his granny  (in my case) and all the beautiful thanksgiving songs where Gods name is freely used, where the snacks are blessed,  and the children are so sweet and happy, what a lovely day and a reminder that Thanksgiving is about being thankful, not just about food!!! great JOB Jake , but boy can you eat cookies!!!
Prior to this Ian had asked for us to go to the pet store to see the Bugs and dogs, yes he loves to look and the bugs they sell for food, they also have a Doggies day care and you can watch the dogs play through a Glass wall. it has been a favorite for years, well there was one very big boxer who decided to cock his leg and pee on the glass wall straight at us, and we both Jumped it was so funny but it felt like it was going to get us, for a second we forgot the  glass between us!!!  so then all the dogs decided to pee and the poor caregivers had a constant stream of Mops, Ian then looked at the cats needing homes , he loved them. and the lizards, there was a rat running in his wheel he made Ian Laugh. and other small critters, Ian thought is was so much fun. like a Mini Zoo,
Ian was funny as he tried to sneak pretend money into his pocket at school, he is no secret thief he is there stashing it in front of everyone, if its there its mine attitude, Granny took it out and said its not ours :)
Lunch was unsuccessful due to the cookie feast, but I got them to eat fruit and Ian some cheese!
Ina was kind of cranky, so he went for a Nap a Little early and did not fight it! if he wakes early we will make snow flakes,
one day this week we will do science city, probably Friday ,
Sunday was a great Evening. we enjoyed watching Polar express, another tear Jerker for Granny, even Jake got teary and said Awww many times, such a Tender hearted boy,
Monday Jake was in school of course, Ian and I pretty well hang out at home, but on the way to school we met Gramps for a drink and cookie at burger king Ian thought he was a King doing that without his brother!!!
Good week so far! so much to be thankful For especially 2 sweet sugar filled boys.

Life catches up
