What Toddler Knows How to 'Bump- It'? Sydnee Does!

Cameron taught Sydnee to "bump it" (using your fist) instead of giving high fives, and now that's all Sydnee wants to do when people ask for high fives!? It's so funny.

Pizza Hut Fieldtrip

Hallie's preschool fieldtrip this month was at Pizza Hut! It was so fun seeing how they run things there and the kids even got to toss their own dough and make their own pizzas!

Movie Night

We started doing movie night on Friday nights with popcorn and a movie of Hallie's choice about a year ago. We still do it every Friday night and Redbox has become the best invention ever in renting new releases for only $1! We've seen some fun new movies lately with the girls, and Daddy introduced Sydnee to popcorn a few weeks ago! She loves it of course, and enjoys that more than the movie.

Daddy's Cookie Tasters

Cameron LOVES to bake. Last night for family night, he and Hallie and Sydnee baked chocolate chip snickerdoodle cookies. Hallie loves to help bake and Sydnee loves to eat, so they made a good team.


Sydnee watched Hallie roll the snickerdoodle dough in the sugar mixture and place it on the cookie sheet, and then she wanted a turn. So she rolled the dough in the sugar mixture, and ate it... then ate some more! She was the official tester, and Hallie was the official "roller."

Below: First, Syd gets permission from Daddy to help...

Below: Sydnee attempts to roll the dough in the mixture...

Below: Instead of putting it on the cookie sheet, she tastes it...

Below: It's a winner! She likes it!

Our lesson was on the first Thanksgiving (thanks Megan for doing that cute FHE file from our file group!) and then we ate cookies. It was a fun night.

The Twilight Saga Continues...

Yes, New Moon (Twilight "2") comes out in 10 days and of course I'm going to the midnight premier again! This time though, my good friend Sarah gets to come!! She's driving all the way from Ohio to go to the premier, so I just had to throw a big premier party. Here are the invitations I made. They weren't as fun as last year's, but they still turned out good enough to get the "New Moon" idea across. I can't wait to convert you Sarah to be a fellow Twilighter!
