What We've Been Up To

I finally loaded my pictures onto the computer so here is a little review of what's been going on at the Thomas house.

Ethan was in the play 101 Dalmations, he was Jasper. He did an amazing job and no offense Cruella but Jasper and Horace TOTALLY stole the show. Ethan does a really good at reading an audience and kept them laughing. Way to go buddy.

This is where I find Bella a lot every morning. She loves to sleep by the heater vent. The sad thing is when I go running early in the morning I usually don't turn on the lights and I've stepped on her so many times. Finally Johnny found her a heater vent that was in a safer location. I know I should have moved her but I didn't want to risk her waking up so I threw a blanket on her. Yes these are her pajamas.

Bella apparently has some anger issues against Barbie. I had to take her picture before I threw her away.

This is what she wore the other day. The shorts were fine because she does have tights on. She does this a lot with her clothes.

When Tess is being quiet it is usually a bad sign. Here she is with desitin on her face.

Here is Joshua and his side kick with lotion all over. They were very proud of their hats they made.

Sorry there are no pictures of Porter. He hasn't been in a play, doesn't sleep in weird places, he generally dresses ok and he hasn't destroyed anything. :)

Baptism Day

Ethan turned 8 this month and his baptism ended up on Halloween morning. It was such an amazing experience! We got everything ready at the house that morning and then Johnny, Ethan and I headed to the church to get him all ready. It ran so smoothly and I was so touched by all the friends and family that came that day to support him. We had so many little kids there it made it hard for anyone to see when Ethan was baptized so I had to sneak to the front with the kids so I could see too. We've asked Ethan how he felt about the day and he says he feels good and warm. Thank you so much for everyone who came that day and for all your help.

Excited Ethan.

Happy Halloween

I love Halloween. My kids and I have had a lot of fun this month making fun Halloween themed crafts for art all month long. We are part of a home school group and had a Halloween Party on Friday. It was a blast. Then on Saturday night we went Trick or Treating as a family, I think that is a first. Johnny has always stayed home with the baby, but he had no excuses this year. Then we went and saw Grandmas and Grandpas and ended with a party at my moms.
