Favorites

I haven't done this in a while, so I thought it would be fun to write a post about their current favorites.

 

 

 

Polar Express - See Dawson in the locomotive pulling the whistle?  Carter and Ava are making tickets.  The kids have always loved the book and movie, but this year, Dawson is REALLY getting into it.  He begs to watch it, I think I've seen it twice in the last week.  Mike reads him the book almost nightly and we spent about three hours today playing Polar Express.  He was Santa giving out the first gift of Christmas, punching tickets, driving the locomotive, you name it and this kid was on it. 

 

 

Ava has been heavy into arts and crafts lately.  She will sit and color for an unbelievably long time.  Our play room is generally covered in a sea of scrap paper, hole punches, crayons, and scissors by 9 am.  She amazes me with how much she is learning in preschool.  She comes home and describes bible stories in detail, and sings new songs for me every day.  She is truly loves school so much! 

 

Another big hit for Dawson and Carter:  sledding!  and the Lion hat!

 

Now that Carter is at school, he has less time for playing.  But he has loved playing polar express with his brother and sister, sledding in the back yard and this weekend he really wants a movie night with desert.  Done and Done!
