abe asleep in his "big boy bed", the switch to cold weather clothes, and fire pit time.

tuesday, november 23, 2010.

abraham's really sleeping in his bed. YAY!!! i used the back, unbroken, part of the crib as a guardrail.

so peaceful!

the whole view. the "guardrail" is held tight by the bookcase.

saying so long to abey's short sleeved shirts. the toys below are going to be garage saled soon. we need the dough.

lity's short sleeves which will become abe's in the next year or two. we need to figure out a way to get all the toys up top to be at a kid friendly, more accessible level.

busting out the pants, long sleeves, sweaters and jackets. thank God for shannon's moms donation of ethan's hand me downs. levi always gets excited to see the "new" stuff.

gonna pack up all of levi's shorts...

...and abey's.

2T little dude pants. last year they'll be worn by a block:(

we need more book storage. we have books jammed everywhere!

wont need these for awhile.

it's almost turkey time...yum. can't wait!

getting ready to jump start kenny's car. he accidentally left the heater on while providing music for the fire pit folks. oops!

...

love you too mike. hahaha.

levi's loving it!

a conked out abe...ready to sleep in his big boy bed again:)

mike giving abe a mustache.

good times in the hood.

 levi used a suctioned "shooter" as a stabilizer.

 dancing and eating doughnuts outside of pravus.

 doughnut.

 tonight's show.

 just a sample.

 levi and the big mural outside the gallery.

 this was almost out christmas card photo, but it was a little too blurry:(

 abe's hiding.

 more art on the way to our car.

 this van was done up on all sides. i'd so drive it.

 abraham asked to take pics with my camera. i obliged. nice shot of my pimple...how old am i?

 ms. stacy's hand.

 a good one of louis. he and stac were celebrating their anniversary!

 papa's feet.

 abe's toes.

 louis' fingers.

tonight we hung out by the fire. SHOCKER i know;)

abraham's saying, "take a picture of this."

levi using fireplace tongs to fly his little people plane around.

transferring all the nativity people outside via an airplane.

i asked levi to take a pic with me. this is what i got. he is SO is FATHER!

after much begging and a few more tongue out pics, which is all he does these days, he finally SMILED:) i think he does it to be funny. he knows everybody loves when abe does his "grumpy face" and i think he is trying to cash in on the attention. i've tried to explain to him that we laugh at abe because he is only two, but that his isn't so funny, at least i don't think so, because he is way older. as of now, i'm not gonna care so much and just let him do his thing.

levi kept asking me to guess what he was. after 10 tries i gave up...

...he even came closer, like it would help me. wanna guess? he's a GRANDFATHER CLOCK. hahaha.

big wheeling.

brothers.

thought i'd ask abraham for a picture with me. i figured it would be grumpy face, this is just a silly variation i guess.

KISS much?

big and little. papa and son.

lity.

abraham about to share the seat with levi.

abe eventually ended up eating it and busting open his chin. i could so see that coming.

a portrait of me in green.

i prefer the toy cams version. way fewer wrinkles.

shenanigans.

abey wrapped himself up in ms. stacy's scarf.

then levi's turn.

levi doing his stick out tongue face.

check out the moth under mr. tim's left eye. how wacky! btw...abraham is obsessed with mr. tim. we saw him at costco earlier today and abe kept interrupting our conversation. when i finally listened to what he was saying, he was telling us he wanted to give mr tim "a hug and a kiss."
