At the beginning of the month, we took the boys and went with some friends to Spaghetti Works for dinner and then to a Creighton Volleyball game. We had a really good time and the boys enjoyed the game.
Also this month, we visited Lowe's and Home Depot quite a bit to do their kids' workshops. They boys LOVE this and always want to go back. So far they have made a trivet, snowman, race car garage and Charlie made a race track and Jack made a firestation bank. They are really proud of themselves after they build their item...not without a lot of help from mom and dad, of course.

Next we visited Bass Pro Shops to see their Winter Wonderland and Santa. They boys had a good time making reindeer ornaments, looking around, and seeing Santa. Jack wanted nothing to do with Santa and pulled away. Charlie told Santa he wants a Wii and some Transformers.
In preparation for Thanksgiving, the boys and I made our Thanksgiving tree. We cut out leaves from construction paper and wrote things for which we are thankful on the leaves. Then, we hung them from a tree branch that we found outside. The boys loved this and were thankful for some funny things. They listed the good stuff like mom, dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles, their pets, but also Red Robin, chicken, Scooby Doo, Freddy, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, etc. Oh and they were definitely thankful for their teachers and friends. 
We had a good Thanksgiving weekend, despite both boys getting sick. They each spent a couple of days with the stomach bug, but it didn't stop us from getting some fun stuff in. We decorated the tree and house with Christmas decorations. They were both really excited to do this.
Friday night of that weekend was beautiful weather. We headed down to the Old Market to have dinner at Zio's Pizza. We then took the boys for their first carriage ride around the area to see all of the Christmas lights. They really enjoyed this and it was evidenced by their complete silence on the ride.
