30 weeks: Thanksgiving

We had a good week, aside from still being sick and Miles not sleeping well at night. I'm hoping and praying that Ruby stops bringing these bugs home from school, and especially that we don't get a really bad one. :(

We had a great Thanksgiving with Andy's family. It was really fun for Ruby to have a few days off of school. I miss her when she's gone! She and I went on a quick run to Target and had the best time. I sure love our kids a lot.
 Reid came in our room one morning like this. Apparently they were playing Anna and Elsa. Hahaha!
 Ruby got to have pajama day at school because they got a lot of food for the canned food drive. She was so excited! It was cute to see all of the kids in their pajamas at the bus stop.
 The rest of us went to Panda Express for lunch because we got a free bowl from T-mobile Tuesday. It wasn't that good, but at least it was free. And a fun outing.
 Our big boy!
 Ruby has been hiding books under her pillow. She's currently working on about 5 different books, including the Hobbit. I think she's on page 6 now.
 Reid has been really liking to color lately and is getting better at it.
 Just about too big for the bassinet. He doesn't sleep well in it anyway. I'll be sad to say goodbye to it, maybe my grand kids will sleep in it some day.
 This was such a sweet moment... until Reid hit Ruby for no reason and they started fighting. Real life.
 The hors d'oveurs table at our Thanksgiving gathering. Our kids ate so much cheese and crackers. Haha
 Reid had so much fun with this little "control" blue car (it had a battery and drove around this track). That is, until he lost it somewhere and we never did find it. He's not great at remembering where he puts things.
 They played a great game of Clue, and Ruby and Andy won.
 Miles took a nap in Frances's little bed thing. I think it's called a Dock-a-tot.
 The kid table. Our kids did great and ate a good dinner. Which of course was a requirement for getting the pumpkin pie we made.
 First Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for our three kids, and also that the Lord provided our new house just at the time we really needed.
 On Friday we made Gluey Kabluey (cornstarch, water, and food coloring). It's their favorite.
 It quickly got quite messy, but is surprisingly easy to clean up. It wipes right off.
He makes the funniest faces sometimes. In the background is a yellow paper that has Ruby's school schedule for the year on it. They have "specials" each day that are like PE, Music, etc. She checks the calendar and then the special schedule every day so she can plan what to wear.  She's so much like me.
"Thanksgiving is over."
 Miles is starting to scoot around. He'll be crawling soon, and then watch out!
 The shirt tells no lies.
 Best brothers.
 We had Miles in church with us and he LOVED the music. He was dancing and wiggling all around.
 Post-church play time.
 We had a picnic dinner so we could watch Cars 3.
 His 3 little teeth.
 Bed time shenanigans.
 Ruby has this fun book. Haha
 This is how I do my workouts some days.
 Done with nap!
 He was playing "baby" and had his baby beaver under that blanket too.
 She was going around the house and making notes of things that needed to be put away or just things that were happening.
"Things we need to pick up
Some shoes
Reid on the potty
Dad's computer
Mom and Dad's bedroom
Miles's blanket"
 My Dad left his Rubik's Cube here while he's in New York and we've been having fun trying to figure it out. I did it!
He's sitting up pretty well but still falls over often.
