Thanksgiving Fun

The few Mondays and Wednesdays that we've had the Wadsworths over here we tried to some Thanksgiving stuff. I didn't take pics of everything, but I got a few good ones. 
Gabe had a Thanksgiving feast at her school. I couldn't go, but Brittney Briana's mom sent me some pics. It was cute. She came home so excited about it. 

Daddy's B-day

Adam b-day wasn't quite what I had planned. He took the day off, and I was going to send him to St G to go mtn bike this trail he's been wanting to do, but hasn't had time. BUT it rained all week. So that bombed, so did plan B of golfing. SOOOO we had to improvise a bit. 
I meant to have him sleep in, but he wanted to go with Gabe to Daddy and Donuts at her school. Then he bought her a book at her book fair. 
After spoiling him last year for his big 30, it was hard to downgrade and go back to normal. So I did it, and it made me feel lame. Oh well, he still got some fun stuff he wanted and needed. 
While Gabe was at school we munched some oreos. 
When she got home we opened gifts.
So we decided to go bowl, cause it was a fun indoor thing. We have never taken our kids, so it really was fun. The only bad thing is it was during the day with stuffy old people in leagues, but oh well. We had fun. 
Milo just wanted to carry the balls, it wasn't the funnest. 
Ollie would jump and shout or do dances when he did good, it was cute. 
Gabe would throw her fist in the air and say, "Yes!"
After we played the arcade that were there. 
Kay watched the kids and we got to go out to dinner. It was fun, we went to one of those places that has a Hibachi dinner where they cook the food in front of us and do a show. He flipped some shrimp at us and Adam caught his. I missed my first one, but caught my second. I meant to take a pic of us, but I didn't. :(
After we let the kids stay up to have Adam's ice cream pie. I tried talking him into cake this year, cause he does love cake, but he wouldn't have it. Ice cream pie it was. 
So Adam's Crohn's has been acting up the last six months or so. He's super sensitive to foods now. It's not fun, so he has tried different meds again. The doc said this is one of the normal Crohn's symptoms that Adam's finally having. We were lucky his b-day he felt pretty good, cause he was puking with pains the night before. The doc finally today put him on a permanent medicine he gets to take forever that should help. Blah! He has to take 8 pills a day right now. Adam says, "I feel like I'm 80 taking so many pills!" Not ideal but it will help him be back to normal, so that's good. 

Around the House

Adam has this app on his iPad that we do these photo strips in. We finally put them on our Computer. So some are from a ways back, but I love them all. :)
Wouldn't be us if we weren't face painting at some point. This is Ollie's whale. 
Gabe just wanted a cat. I tried talking her into some other creature that would go around her mouth like his, but she didn't want it. 
One day the boys thought my shower cap was the funniest thing ever. 
I wish this picture wasn't so bad. Every once in a while Gabe brings home a book with a stuffed animal in the bag. After she reads it with us she has an assignment to do in another notebook. The book was a cars themed one talking about different places to go and forms of transpiration. The stuffed animal was a Mater truck, so Ollie loved it. Anyway her assignment was to think of a any place in the world she'd like to go and in what. Then she needed to write it out and sound it out the best they could without us telling them how to write it. So she wrote that she would go to Hawaii (She has an obsession with that place since we went there), and she would go in a taxi. :) That's her Daddy in the pic with her. I asked why I wasn't in it. ;)
Gabe made Michele and her flute section rubber band bracelets for their competition. So they thanked her in pictures. It was so nice and she was thrilled. 

The weather has been so beautiful here, that we had a left-over pizza picnic in out backyard one day. 
Hanging with the Wads. 
These two are either driving each other crazy, or best buddies. It's fun. 
Helping each other walk back home from the bus stop.
Here's a blurry pic of the babies, although they are both growing super fast. Callen just started crawling around and sitting up on his own. 
The next step in our shelf project. Adam finally got it sanded. We debated staining it, but knew it'd go in the boys' combined room one day so we decided to go red. 
It isn't officially finished yet it needs another coat, but we are loving it.
