The past few weeks have actually been pretty 'normal' which has been really nice! Waylon was traveling last week so my mom came down to help out. What a nice treat for me! She did drop off and pick up for kids and cooked up a storm - made dinners and even put some extra ones in the freezer for us! how great!
First though, going back to Monday, the 15th - just a few cute shots of the kids using my dad's camera that he's been letting us borrow. I'd been trying to decide on a new camera and just got a new one a few nights ago! So exciting!
For a few days, Noah was sucking on his bottom lip and was making marks... not sure what that was about but he's stopped now. You can see it in this picture though.
That afternoon, we went to a new park close to our 'in-between house' as we are now calling the rental we are in now. :-) Noah seems to get that.
Tuesday morning, Kylie had her 1 year shots. She had her appt the week before but since she was sick, she couldn't get the shots so we had to go back for them. I also need to add her stats but I didn't write them down so I have to call the office for those. I do know that she's a big girl (as we all know). :-) She was about 25 lbs! Not sure of the percentage but I know it's up there. After the shots and being off of school the whole week before, I wasn't sure how well she was going to do at daycare that day. Her teachers said she had a great day though so that was good.
Waylon flew out that afternoon and my mom drove in. She met me at daycare just in time to pick up the kids and they were so excited to see her. Noah was out on the playground with his friends and he just came running and jumping! It was really cute. Here's a cute one of her with Kylie that night.
Like I said above, she really helped us out so much that week - thanks Mom!! She also managed to meet me for lunch both days and one of those days, we went by our new neighborhood so I could show her all the choices that we have made for the new house. Speaking of which, we have our pre-construction meeting on Monday and they should be breaking ground soon after that. They are still targeting March 28th as our close date so we'll see if that still happens! We can't wait to see things start happening.
On Friday morning, we ran a few quick errands and while we were at WalMart, Noah tried out a bike. He thinks he wants to ask Santa for one so we needed to figure out what size to get him. He was such a big boy riding around the store! This one is a 16 inch wheel which is too big for him but he still loved it!! :-)
Another one of my handsome BOY (where did the time go??)
On Friday afternoon, we had a follow up for the family pictures that didn't go so well the last time. Dana got some great shots and we are so excited about them!! I'll be posting some soon since she is sending us the CD but if you want a preview, check out Dana's blog.

This is an 'after the photo shoot' shot. :-) We did a cupcake smash at the end.
After the pictures, we went to the mall to play some and had a quick dinner there. Noah wanted to ride the merry-go-round so we brought Kylie along, too. She wasn't sure at first but then liked it. :-)
Then we just happened to walk by Santa and Noah was so excited!!! There was no line so he went in and said hello and tell him what he wanted for Christmas - apparently Spiderman - news to me! :-) It was cute. Kylie was not thrilled with him at all and the closer we got to Santa, the harder she would grab my shirt.

Thinking about what he wants - or is he thinking about if he's been good or not? :-)

On Sunday morning, we ran some more errands and got some ideas from the kids for Christmas. Noah is so funny... he just HAS to have everything he sees! :-) We had lunch out and the kids fell asleep on the way home.
Waylon got back to town Friday night and the kids stayed up to welcome him home. They were so happy to see him.
Saturday morning, my mom left bright and early and we got ready to head over to Megan and Jason's to watch the State/UNC football game. The game was at noon but we decided to go anyway and just see how the kids did. They only live a few miles away so we figured if we had to come home, it would be easy. Noah skipped nap but laid on their bed and watched TV for a while and Kylie slept for almost 2 hours in the pack and play there! We stayed a long time and ended up feeding the kids dinner over there before coming home. It was lots of fun!

Here's a funny story.... after Noah's nap (while we were waiting for Kylie to wake up to head over to Nana and Grandad's), I was painting my toenails and Noah was watching. Waylon walked by and said, 'maybe Mommy will paint one of yours!' Well, of course then he wanted me to paint his toenails. I told him that 'normally boys don't paint their toenails' and he said, 'but sometimes they do!' How could I argue with that? AFter I did it, he said, 'Grandaddy is going to LOVE it!' :-) I agreed and he said, 'He's going to think it's silly' and I said, 'Yeah, cause normally boys don't paint their toenails' and he, again, said, 'But sometimes they do!!!' :-) Too funny....
After Kylie woke up, we took off to Nana and Grandad's to celebrate Dick's birthday. Always craziness but so fun!! We are looking forward to more of the same tomorrow for Thanksgiving.
Here they are singing Happy Birthday. :-)
Noah would sing really loud and then Dick would grab him and give him a 'noogie'. He (and Savannah) thought it was hilarious. :-)
On Monday, we had lunch and a park playdate with Jacque, Elizabeth and Jacob. It's always fun to catch up with them! I didn't take any pictures when they were there but did snap this one before they arrived. Kylie wanted to swing like Noah and she really did well hanging on! Again... where does the time go??? They are both growing up so fast.
Yesterday, Noah had a Thanksgiving feast at school. He was so excited about it and happy that Daddy could come eat with him. They had so much fun and Waylon was so glad to be there also. I should have given Waylon the camera to take pictures but forgot.

Now, it won't be a problem though cause we now have another camera! I got my new one a few nights ago (a very belated birthday present!). :-) My parents gave me money for my birthday to get one and I just now picked it out and got it. I'm so excited about it so I'm sure there's even more pictures coming for a while. :-) Here are two samples of how the pictures look with the new camera!
A funny face for Kylie
So I had all of a 1 day work week. I took today off to clean the house in the morning then met Waylon for lunch and a Santa date. It was fun to shop for the kids together! We are getting excited about the holidays. Speaking of which - check out the kids' new stockings!! I've been eyeing these for a few years now so my mom ordered them for us. How nice!!
Tomorrow morning, Waylon is running a 5K 'Turkey Trot' and the kids and I are going to cheer him on, then we are off to Nana and Grandaddy's house to hang out for the day and have another yummy feast!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!
