We started off November with a carry over from October. A couple days into November we went to Wendy's for dinner and they still had their Halloween kids meals. Mia enjoyed her Shrek/Fiona mask (it was double sided so you could chose). Sadly it didn't last very long being paper and all but she still gets to wear her Shrek ears. She likes it when Monty wears them too.
November was my birthday. Mia asked me if I was 16 and I told her sure. I don't know if I'd want to go back to being 16 again though. We went out to Zupa's for dinner (one of my favorite) and then came home for birthday pie.
For my birthday Monty and Mia got me tickets to the Forgotten Carols. I am so excited and can't wait to go!
With the colder weather we are back to doing a lot more playing in the house. We've built more of our super towers. Santa Clause needs to bring Mia some more Lego's so we can build bigger and stronger towers and bigger houses.
When it started getting cold Monty moved Mia's slide and tramp downstairs next to her box house. Now she has her own little playground downstairs where it's much warmer than outside.
This girl loves to jump!
One night while I was at work Monty kept Mia entertained forever by making Mia burritos.
Mia decided she wanted all of her friends to watch a movie with her one day. She brought out all of her stuffed animals and set them on the couch so they could watch "Buzz" (Toy Story) with her. I had to watch from the chair. Her friends sat out there for a couple days until I decided it was time to reclaim the couch. :-)
I will confess. I am not above bribery to get Mia to be good when running errands. On this particular day we had a bunch of stores to go to. I promised Mia if she was good the whole time she could pick out a doughnut at the grocery store (our last stop). She was pretty good considering all we had to do and she was absolutely ecstatic that they had Christmas doughnuts!
Monty decided one evening to make cinnamon rolls. Isn't he a sexy baker. :-)
We spent Thanksgiving with Monty's family this year. Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is always pie night. We had soup and left lots of room for dessert. Then you don't have to worry about leaving room for dessert on Thanksgiving. I think it's the best idea ever!
Monty's mom got the two youngest grand kids matching turkey day dresses. It was impossible to get a picture of both Mia and Sophie looking at the camera in their dresses.
All the grand kids on Thanksgiving. HAPPY TURKEY DAY!
Like I said before I have decided bribery can definitely be a good thing in working with a strong willed 3 year old. Another great bribe...a bubble bath. We just need Santa to bring her some bubble bath of her very own.
