Dr. Seuss Carnival Fun
My preschool had a Dr. Seuss carnival last week. My game was “pin the star on the Sneetch belly”. As a child, The Sneetches was the Dr. Seuss book that I had. I loved it so much and it was so fun to have the kids do crafts to decorate my area and to make a big giant Sneetch!
I was trying to mimic the feeling of the pages of the book with so many Sneetches…
And Grace still enjoys herself at the preschool carnival…
Santa’s Letter
Grace wrote a letter to Santa on Christmas Eve.
This is a picture of the Santa that she drew. One of my kiddos at school gave it to me.
From Friday’s post you can see that she got the locket (with space for four pictures) and the doll. Not pictured was the angry birds toy which she said was “even better than she hoped it would be.”
It’s so nice to have kids that are appreciative of what they get and reasonable in what they ask for…
Christmas and Christmas Eve
We spread out our Christmas fun on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. What lucky kids to get to open presents on both days!
We got to visit with most of the family, eat good food, and open presents, what more could you want? Oh yeah, and we watched A Christmas multiple times!
Our motto “you can never have too much Duck gear!”
Owen was pretty excited to get a #6 De’Anthony Thomas jersey. You should see how fast he
is when he wears it!
Christmas Tree
Danny, the kids, and I went to a new Christmas tree place this year. The one we had gone to was nearby, busy, expensive and a little too trendy. So on the recommendation of my co-worker we tried a new place. It was great, and a third the price!
Owen was the saw carrier
And when we found our tree, we knew it was perfect for us when we saw this little guy.
10th Anniversary
Friday was our 10th anniversary. Inspired by this post, I thought I would write our story in 6 words…But I had to do a couple of different ones.

The Library
One of the things that I love about the town we live in is our library. When we lived down near Eugene we couldn’t check out at the library without buying a membership (since we were out of city limits). And frankly, it was a big, inconvenient library right in downtown Eugene. Not always somewhere that I wanted to go with my 3 year-old and my baby.
Once we moved, I immediately got a library card at the library here. There is also a branch near my preschool where I can pick stuff up. Good parking, and it is very kid friendly too.
But the thing that really makes me smile when I go…is this statue…
She reminds me of Grace, only quieter…
Cousins
Grace and Owen got to spend last week at Grandma and Grandpa Ruby’s with two of their cousins, Maclin and Aiden.
They had so much fun and I am so glad they got this special time to get to know their cousins a little better!
Hopefully Grandma and Grandpa are recovering:)
Owen: “Grandma said we could have as many popsicles as we wanted. She actually meant we could have two!”
Is It Just Us??
Or do you also have pictures of various types of animal poop too?
It’s particularly pleasant when these pop up on the screensaver during dinner…
Mother’s Day
Yikes, I know it was in May…Danny took some pics of the kids out in the backyard…They were just being cute and silly.
Happy Anniversary!!
46 years ago today these crazy kids got married.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!
We love you:)
