Elf

Luke and Poppie made a trailer for his car so he can tow things around - he loves to build things, so I think he's going to love the workbench and tools he's getting for Christmas:

Pretty cute elf:

Busy Weekend

Luke has been bugging me to go see dinosaur bones. He really wanted to dig some up, but since I couldn't swing that, we went to the Texas Memorial Museum:



Also went to see Megamind - his 3D glasses make him look like Buddy Holly:

And the main event of the weekend was the Lakeway boat parade - got to hang out on a really cool boat and watch a boat parade of other boats all lit up with Christmas lights (kind of like the Disney electric parade).

And the Georgetown Christmas Stroll and parade:

Cuteness

Luke was admiring my necklace when he exclaimed "it's a Jesus cross!! .... but in cursive!!"


Luke loves to gather acorns and we talk about how amazing it is that you can plan one and it turns into a huge tree. He said he dreamed last night that he planted a snow seed and it grew into a snow man.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lovely Thanksgiving with the family and friends - this is Luke's friend Alex from school....

School pics

I cracked up when I saw these. Luke was soooooo tired on school picture day and I just knew he wouldn't be cooperative. Ugh. Oh well. What can ya do? Looks like the photographer did try his best - four different locations is about as good an effort as anyone could give...

Me: I'm coming to thanksgiving lunch in your classroom on Friday!
Luke: What are you bringing?
Me: broccoli salad
Luke: No, I mean what are you bringing that the children will like

We settled on making pumpkin muffins together to take on Friday since the children evidently won't like broccoli salad. :-P

Luke was THRILLED about the "real" fireman!
