November 2016

I actually had a few notes written down this month!

Jackson
When I dropped Jackson off at school one morning, Ms. Sarah (who is African American) was telling me that yesterday they were each supposed to go find something brown to bring to the carpet… and he went and picked a brown baby.  She was so proud of him! 😂
I have a (well I think it is) cute shirt that has slits in each shoulder.  Upon getting dressed one morning and going to wake him up: "why are there holes in your shoulders? I don't like it. Can you pick a different shirt?"
He referred to my mom’s night out as “Mom’s Hide Out”... I think that's pretty accurate!! ;)


Mason
- while climbing into my lap to watch a movie: "I don't know what happened. Daddy used to be my favorite parent, but now you are."  Quite matter of factly. 


Jack, upon grabbing your shoulder blade: "mom!  Your boobs are on backwards!" Or this one..."mom, when I'm 3, may I please say 'what the heck?'" Or this one: "mommy, one of my bum bum cushions is itching!" 😂😂

 Speaking of that "Mom's Hide Out" we made chocolate!
Check out Beach Castle Sweets and order some almond toffee!
The owner actually just contacted me to ask if she can turn this picture into an advertisement postcard.
Children's Museum! 

 Mason had the class dragon, Skortch for the weekend.
We had to take him on our adventures and write about it in the class journal!

I won an award for my online sport nutrition class at George Mason!

 I am so impressed with how Jackson holds his marker!
First full-family movie at the theater: Trolls! 
 Jackson would like me to move the camera out of his way so he can watch the pre-previews

 Duncan joined the pajama uniform fun this year!
Except... remember that "mom's hide out" night?  There was a LOT of chocolate consumption, and maybe a cocktail or two also.  I ordered the pajamas that night, I remember feeling very alert and a little bit loopy.  I had to get the kids ones and the dog/adult ones on two different sites, and there were two different patterns I liked and apparently I didn't order the same ones for everyone.  WHOOPS!
But come on, this is pretty awesome! 
Do you know what this means?  Thanksgiving!!
