I pretty much finished my first quarter of work! This may not seem like a big deal to most, but if you haven't been officially working for the past six years, it IS a big deal!
This weekend (and weekdays, too) consisted of a LOT of Frozen! Char is in love with this movie and always asks for "Let It Go". I'm pretty sure she thinks Frozen is actually called Let It Go. Speaking of the little lady, she turns the big 2-0 on Tuesday! How crazy is that?! The craziest thought I have is that when Lucas was 20 months old, he had already become a big brother for a month! I still can't imagine Char being a big sister at this age. Oh, and to clarify something just to ensure that no one starts any rumors - Char will NEVER be a big sister. Sorry.
passed out
So a weird thing's been happening every Saturday sometime between 11 - 12. This little lady passes out like clockwork for a little while. I asked her teacher what happens during that time frame and they say that she never falls asleep during that time. So, just a tad bit weird. This Saturday, I was busy cleaning the house, Lucas was already hidden away in the office teaching himself something, and Daddy was also doing something too. We just left Char on her high chair for a while and she was quiet for a rather long time. There is only one reason why she'll be that quiet, and lo and behold... homegirl passed out while eating! We're going to Disney on Ice at this time next Saturday, we'll see what happens to her then.
We went to our first Harvest Festival of the year. This was the first year where both kids really enjoyed all these carnivals games. Lucas really wanted to ride the train, look at that cheeseball!
Lucas cheesin' and Char busy eatin'
Hello Kitty and a ladybug (both kids chose their face art)
Guess what movie they're watching?
Both are equally obsessed with Frozen
For Halloween last year, I got the Shinn kids to dress up as monkeys. This year is a different story. Lucas started out wanting to be a panda bear, then Anna (got vetoed), and now he's settling for a superhero with a green cape (he better not change his mind anymore). I originally got a dog costume for Char since she loves wo-wo's so much. But after putting on an Elsa dress, I think this little lady is set on being a princess. And this girl aims high, she doesn't settle on being just a princess, she jumps straight to a queen!
Traditional Sunday's best shot
They're getting rather good at posing for Mommy now
Brought the kids to a toy store after lunch (they were in heaven!)
Speaking of heaven, Lucas has been doing great at school. For a three year old, he's learning a lot! I'm really glad he's going to a Christian school because he likes to go home and teach Bible stories to his family. This also includes time outs and no goodies from the surprise bag if you're not a good listener.
And speaking of learning, this boy loves to learn! He catches on to a lot of things now so we definitely have to be careful with what we say around him. He also enjoys practicing writing and doing phonics. I believe he may be every parent's dream kid. I wonder if his little sister will follow in his footsteps in a year...
