In the Land of Eddings...: November 2013

Building Cars

Daphne and Jocelyn saw these wooden cars at Lowes while we were out and about one day. It came with all the parts to build a car. The girls and daddy built a fire truck and an ambulance. Daphne did most of it herself. She did great!

Nailing the pieces together.

Jocelyn hugging hers, just waiting.

More hammering.

Done with the hammering.

Fire truck finished!

Jocelyn helped too. She was easily distracted.

Love that smile

She and daddy put the stickers on carefully

I did it!

Look at our cars!

Sleep over

The girls had a sleep over with each other in the igloo tent. They wanted to build the tent in the afternoon and sleep in it all night. We put it up in Jocelyn's room, and they both slept in there all night. It was adorable listening to them both through the baby monitor, talking late at night.

Skippy John had to join the girls, as well as Pink Baby!

Daddy snuck some water and smores goodies into the tent for them.

Too cute!

Clinton and I went out on a date! Without the girls! We were invited to a semi-formal "Dancing with the Stars" even at the Crown Plaza. It was very nice. Ms. Barbara from preschool gave us two tickets. It was catered, and we watched the competition. It was a great night out. We got all dressed up and enjoyed spending time with each other. We even stopped for coffee/hot chocolate when it was over. We don't go out just the two of us very often, so this was a wonderful night! Thanks Ms. Barbara!

Halloween - Ariel and Izzy

We went trick or treating in downtown Hickory for a bit, and then headed to Mimi and Paw's and Mawmaw and Pop pop's houses. Charity and Bryson went with us. Bryson was a ninja. Daphne was Ariel. Jocelyn was Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates. (Disney Junior show)

The three amigos!

First house! The big kids have already run up to the door at this point.

We also go to watch Daphne play in her last soccer game of the season on November 2nd. Brian, Lauren and Jace came to watch. Jocelyn wanted to hold Jace, even though he is just about as big as she is. She also had to wear her boots because she loves them!
