Day 5: Daddies

We love our daddy's who make sure we are warm when we have a fever and don't feel well.  This was Kai's third day home / third day not eating due to his mouth sores.  It broke our hearts.

Day 4: Pomegranates

We are thankful for delicious pomegranates and our easy peeling technique we taught daddy!!

Day 3: Popsicles

Popsicles make having Hand Foot and Mouth virus seem more tolerable.  Yes, its a virus kids get and not farm animals... It was not fun and Kai had it twice... poor kiddo!

Day 2: Puzzles

We are thankful for puzzles!  What mysteries await our little boys?  What will be behind your chooen door? 

November (our month of treasures)

So, Kai's first year of life I did a post everyday of November to demonstrate how lucky and thankful we are for such amazing children.  So, here we go again!

Nov 1: Thankful for tunnel time with our crawling baby boy!

Happy Halloween!

So, this year I really wanted to do a theme family costume thing... I started early in the planning but Ahmad said the kids were too young.... then 2 days before Halloween, Ahmad had the best idea and needed a costume for work "Hey Jenn, Lets do a coordinated costume" me: "Wow, wonder why I did not suggest that earlier so we could plan and buy the best coordinated outfit?'

Anyhow, Here we are a much of misfits but Kai enjoyed his Astronaut Suit (and the teachers help convince him it was super cool... he really wanted spiderman) and Fin barely fit into Kai's Giraffe costume... I can not control the 9mth baby giant... and Ahmad and I settled on The Nightmare before Christmas.  His friends in DC have always said he makes a great Jack the Pumpkin King!  We entered a work contest and heard some people actually voted for us... get out!

Imagination Parade 2014

 As you may remember 2nd Generation does not celebrate Halloween per say, but what they do hold is an imagination day parade for the kiddos.  Each room has a theme and the teachers (and kids but mainly teachers) make the costumes.

This year Hummingbirds (Fin's room) took direction from the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty where children were either the kings men or Humpty themselves... Fin was Humpty of course... he was so cute and the carriages the children stroll along in the inner courtyard were made up so spectacularly!  In Owl's (Kai's room) they were spiders from the nursery rhyme itsy bitsy spider.
