Kids Dancing (again)
So many fun things happening in this video, including sneaky Henry! I also love the "I'll be a happy snowman" part of this dance, it looks like they really worked to choreograph it!

Kids Singing Hannah and Henry Crash
Our kids love listening to and singing to the "Frozen" soundtrack. Here they are dancing and singing, but there was a little crash, so I'll post some more without a crash soon!
Here is what they are singing and dancing to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFatVn1hP3o
Mr. Nibbles
So, we got a hamster...about a year ago!!! We love Mr. Nibbles, he is the sweetest little guy. We had been entertaining the thought of a pet and with allergies and renting a home, a hamster seemed the best fit. We researched and found male syrian hamsters are the friendliest. It took some time, but somehow I convinced Ben that we needed a hamster. One day, Ben had to be at home to study and I took the kids out. On our way to a park I said, "Do you guys want a hamster?" Of course they did.
I said that we were going to a Goodwill and if there was a hamster cage there, we would get it and then go buy a hamster! They couldn't believe it!
Wouldn't ya know, when we walked into Goodwill, there was a practically brand new hamster cage with all the parts and pieces for $7! I don't remember ever seeing a hamster cage before and I know I haven't seen one since.
We bought it and went to the pet store. We all really liked Mr. Nibbles and brought him home.
So happy to have him! He is awake when the girls are getting ready for school, so if they get ready fast enough, they get to hold him before they head out the door.

Sticking his tongue out
Cheeks full of grapes I believe
Run! Hamster, run!

She's 9!
Was it really 9 years ago this little munchkin came into our family?! Yes, and it's been a beautiful 9 years. Evelyn is a beauty and a joy. She is so full of talents and gifts and each day I feel like we are learning something new and wonderful about her.
She wanted her hair straightened for her bday. It's hard to tell she's a child from the back since she stands at almost 5'4"!
Evelyn was very pleased to have received a sister for her doll, Sandy. Phoebe will be loved.
Hannah and Will helping with the presents.
Sew cool!
Phoebe!
Phoebe received a warm welcome into the family.
Lucky for us, our community was having a Fall Fest so we got balloons, played games, had a train ride and Evelyn got her face painted!
Henry was pleased with his Spider Man balloon
Hannah got a dog on a leash
William got a long dog with a ball inside
The following Saturday, we had a little party with some of Evelyn's friends. It was hard not to invite ALL of her friends, but we had to keep it simple!
Enjoying bday pizza.
Playing "Who am I?"
Doing some beading
Bracelets are serious business!
We had some painting as well.
Crafting fun!
Happy Birthday to our sweet Evelyn Joy!
