Happy Thanksgiving!!

My serious Pilgrims wish you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Roller Skating

Being it was both of the kids first time on skates of any kind, this was an interesting day! We started Luke on regular roller skates, but he was so noodley, we changed him over to blades. He did much better on blades and even left the wall to skate freely! I'm amazed at how quickly kids catch on.

As you can see, Maggie was having a great time on her little roller skates. They were special skates for beginners where the wheels turn, but not all at the same time. She and Hannah (her cousin) skated hand in hand for quite some time. 

And, yes, I was out there on skates, good old-fashioned skates. I have roller blades, but didn't bring them this trip...maybe next time!

First Snow!

The first snow of the season caught their attention!

Pottery Class Creations

Luke was in a pottery class through our local Arts Council. These are his creations! His first class was Pottery on the Wheel and he was able to make two bowls. His second class was Clay Sculpture, where he made his sister a cat and himself a snake.

Luke with the snake he made!

If you know anything about Maggie, I'm sure you know of her love for cats. I thought it was so sweet of Luke to think of making her a cat in his class. He knew she was too young to join the class and wanted to be a part of it, so this is how he included her. What a sweet boy!!

Haircut

Before....

After! (Mommy chickened out and didn't go as short as we had first thought!)

Laingsburg's New Skate Park

Laingsburg has a new skate park, so we visited it on a Saturday to test it out. I was on rollerblades with the camera, so you won't see me! ;) Jesse enjoyed getting his skateboard back out after a few years away from it!

Luke enjoyed the ramps! He didn't really ride down them full force, but he would coast over them.

Maggie found the play equipment. We brought her bike with us, but she wasn't too sure of riding it there.

A perfect fall day!
