Thanksgiving

On November 19th, my Grandma Hieronymus came to stay with us for 2 weeks for Thanksgiving and the kids' birthday! It was a great time and we loved having her!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with everyone this year! The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we celebrated at Grammy and Boppy's house and the kids had a blast together. They climbed the stairs and slid down backwards and ran all around, etc. Of course they all played the piano and ate yummy ice cream, too.  Kinley and Kason were swinging each other around and tackling each other and doing all kinds of crazy stuff! We set the 3 kids on the couch to get a picture of the 3 of them and Kinley could not stop cracking up at her brother. She would just look at him and die laughing over and over and over again. You can see in these pictures how much she really loves her brother!

On Thanksgiving Day, we all went to G-Ma and G-Pa’s house with my Grandma too! Sarah flew in that morning so we met her in Bartlesville. We were so glad to see her! First though, we started off with a catastrophe when Grandma tried to slice a sweet potato and almost cut her finger off! I had to take her to the emergency room for about 9 stitches in her finger before we headed to Bartlesville! After that she was ok and we all had a great time, ate a delicious dinner, visited, played board games, etc! I think this might be the only time that this has or will ever happen, but apparently, Gigi and I never got out our cameras! I was appalled later when I realized this and will be sure to NEVER do that again!

October Highlights

Halloween

For Halloween, we celebrated a couple times! We went to Camp Cute 'n Spooky at Discoverland in Sand Springs with Gigi, Papa Steve, Nanny, Papa Danny, Tucker, Dalton, and Cooper. There was a petting zoo, a short spooky candy trail, and a place for dancing to kid Halloween tunes! The dancing was their favorite part and Kinley danced forever! She also chased Dalton around and was obsessed with where he was at all times! We ate smores, drank hot chocolate, and rode the hayride. Kinley wouldn't get on the hayride because he was a little scared of the loud noise, so she stayed back with Gigi and Papa Steve while we all rode!

On the night of Halloween, we decorated our pumpkin and then we pulled the wagon across the street to Evergreen Baptist Church and they had a “Trunk or Treat” in the parking lot. We met the Henness' over there. Each car or trunk had its own theme and gave out candy. Well, little did we know that Mr. Kason is a candy addict! I have never seen him act the way he did! Almost every booth gave out some sort of sucker along with other things, and every single booth, Kason DEMANDED that we open it and he eat it right then! It didn’t matter that he had gotten one 3 seconds earlier, he would hand us the “old” one and insist on the new one RIGHT NOW!      ! Well, in order to save 300 meltdowns, this is what we did, until we got smart and held onto the last “old one” and just kept turning around to open the new ones and give him back the old! He was fine with this and we were fine with this as long as he had a good time! He hasn’t acted this way since, so I don’t think we damaged him too bad! J Thank goodness we only trick or treat once a year!
