November is almost over. Thursday is Thanksgiving. We are planning a quiet (as quiet as you can get with 3 kids) day at home. We will be cooking a turkey...Jonah is so excited! Last week Lawrence and I were able to go to school to eat a "Thanksgiving" lunch with the boys. I ate lunch with Jonah and Lawrence ate lunch with Peyton. We figured this was the easiest way to enjoy the lunch, so we could take turns watching Addison. We were served...turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, a wheat roll, and a pumpkin bar. Everything tasted really good for a school lunch...I was very surprised! Jonah ate almost everything, except the green beans. He thought the cranberry sauce was good & he really liked the cool whip on top of the pumpkin bar. Lawrence said Peyton decided not to eat the lunch & got yogurt instead, which of course he only ate a few bites.
Jonah told me this week that he wants to be a teacher when he grows up. I think he'd make an excellent teacher. He is always wanting to "know" things. He is always writing. A couple of weeks ago, he was writing books. He would draw a picture, then write a few words, then staple it all together. He is learning so much in school. He is already reading. Guess we won't be able to spell things we dont want him to hear...LOL!
Peyton has been writing "newspaper articles". He has a whole collection of sports statistics and play by plays that he has written. I wonder if he will be a journalist....hmmmm. He says he wants to be an NFL player. I know he is wishing he was playing football this year. Unfortunately by the time we moved and got settled, the registration was closed and they would not make any exceptions. He did not get the chance to play baseball either this year, which is another favorite sport of his. We decided that we would focus on school work for this year, since we were unsure if he would be behind. His teachers say he is doing really well and he shows real interest in all his schoolwork. He made all A's & B's on his report card....YAY, PEYTON!!!!!
Lawerence was sick at the begining of the month. Addison got sick the following week and I got it the following week. I bounced back a lot quicker than Lawrence or Addison. I started taking Zicam the first day I felt bad.
We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas here in Round Rock. But we are even more excited to head to Louisiana the day after Christmas to spend a week with our families and friends.
We hope that everyone has a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving!
