Little Gym

Today was the last class for this semester of Little Gym. The girls really enjoy LG. Clearly they mostly just run around and such, but that's part of what they love. Face it...at home, they can't just run around and eeeekkkk, etc. (If we had that bigger house I'm after with a basement for a playroom, well, that would be another story....aaaaahhhh....for now I'll just dream.) Anyway, they have actually learned a few things though. They know how to forward roll. They can walk on a balance beam (assisted of course). And this is their big chance for interaction with other kids which I love. And to continue along those lines, we've started having Joanna take them to story time twice per week at our local libraries. Anyway, since today was the final class, they call it "show" day. I use the term "show" VERY loosely. It basically just meant that you could bring your cameras and that they got a medal at the end.

Here are some shots from today's class:

Nicole with the bells at the beginning of class.

Kaitlyn with the bells. They really love these bells too. When it's time to put them away, they just keep shakin'.

Nicole with some LG friends.

Kaitlyn climbing on something. Finally a place where I'm allowed to climb and it's encouaraged mom. :-)


Holy cow. Can you imagine how excited I was to actually snap a photo of them both doing what I wanted them to do at the same time!!!! (That goodness for that quick shutter speed camera that I got last Christmas.) Look at them hang on the bars. Woo Hoo.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving photos first and a few others from November. Enjoy!!

Kaitlyn outside on Thanksgiving day. Cute coat!!! They have matching hats too. What a good find Mommy.

Nicole in her cute coat as well. And notice that Nature Nicole is back...picking up all the fallen leaves. Maybe we won't need to rake in our yard. HA! :-)

Daddy and the girls with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa.

Gamma showing the girls and cousin Mackenzie how to work the horn on Great Grandpa's wheelchair. What fun!

PaPa and all his Grandkids. Definitely something to be thankful for.

Thanksgiving evening - Kaitlyn chillin' with her cousin Brett.

Other random November photos below:

Nicole clapping in the tub.

Kaitlyn smiling as usual for the camera.

Daddy was trying to teach Nicole to "cover her ears." I think she got that message. :-)

Jeana the human jungle gym. The only one missing is Minnie. Can you blame her? I think she runs the other direction almost every time our kids enter a room. Poor pups....

In the process of gearing up for Christmas (which will involve moving a few pieces of furniture), we freed up the space in front of this chair which was previously blocked by toys, etc. You'd think we just got them a new toy. They can't stop climbing on this chair now.

See what I mean. So cute. And see Nicole with our car keys...another favorite "toy" around our house. Truly, Mike and I don't know why we even purchase toys. Remote controls, the phone and car keys are by far the favorites around our house. :-)

Going to see Santa tonight, so maybe a new picture posting in the next day or so.
