Christmas Day, 2008
Christmas Day at our house was GREAT! Santa came and left Ben lots of fun toys. Legos seemed to be the most popular thing at our house this Christmas. That is what we were busy doing all day long. Luckily Ben took his nap so our eyes could get a break from putting the Lego firestation, police station and service station together.

PreK Christmas Fun!
This was our last week of school before the Christmas break. Ben had a busy schedule in his PreK classroom. On Monday they had Christmas Centers. This was the center that I helped at..we made Reindeer food. Ben is patiently waiting for the 'magic glitter' to put in his jar before he shakes it up.
On Thursday some special guests came to their class. Two of Santa's Elves came to visit and they brought Santa's dog with them. After 'Polar Express' was read to the class, the elves served hot chocolate and muffins. Earlier in the week, the class had made a special wish list for Santa. Ben's teacher sent the list home with the elves to give to Santa.

Merry Christmas!!
Gingerbread House for the Fourth Little Pig
This has been the best Christmas season. Ben has been into making all sorts of stuff. Today we made a Gingerbread House. From the start, Ben knew he was going to get to eat some candy. I wasn't so sure we would have enough candy for decorating it...but we did.
He started off by licking the icing off of the mixer.

TGIF!
Today was the last day of school before the Thanksgiving holidays. Ben had PACTime in his class today. He made his own butter and dressed like a Pilgrim.

We had a death in the family last night. Our fish died. We had him for 2 1/2 years. His name was Fish. After school today Ben and I went to the pet store to get another fish. Ben was in charge of naming the fish (as you can tell, he named the last fish) and the new fish is named Glass. I have tried to get an explanation as to why he has an odd name. The only thing that Ben tells me is that he named him that because he didn't have a name.

Football Sunday!
The Saints are playing the Falcons today, so of course we have that game on TV. You don't know how excited I was to see what other two teams were playing later in the day..first the Colts and then the Giants. Ben has a jersey for each of those teams so at some point today he has put them on for me to take a picture. We love Peyton Manning. He posed in front of the Peyton Manning fathead with his Eli Manning jersey on.

Yee Haw!!
This is Ben in his costume on Thursday night. We went to the fall festival at the church. I realized that there wasn't a great shot of the boots in the other post. The boots will now be retired. If I don't...do you know how many black marks will be on my wood floor?? Those boots may have cured him of ever wanting to be a cowboy. I never should have bought boots at K-Mart!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great time trick-or-treating in our neighborhood tonight. It was nice and bright outside when we began. Ben thought that he had to eat the candy as fast as he got it. His bag stayed pretty empty for a while. As the night progressed, we hit more and more houses and his tummy couldn't keep up. I kept telling myself...it is only once a year, it is only once a year!!

How much do you throw away??

By the way, the picture is of the recycling that I accumulated in one day in our house. After I took the picture, I added an olive jar. It adds up very fast!!
