It’s been a while since I shared pictures that Ian’s teacher, Mrs. Ferrante, posts online. I know I love looking at them so I thought I’d share. 🙂
Here’s a link to pictures from Tuesday, November 24th!
Teddy the Elf! He’s come to our house to make sure Ian and Matthew are well-behaved little boys and will be reporting back to Santa every night. 🙂
Tonight, Ian spelled out all of the names of the characters from his John Deere book.
From memory.
While sitting on the potty. LOL
In case you’re wondering, they are:
Danny Dozer
Barney Backhoe
Eddie Excavator
Luke Loader
Grady Grader
This kid is going to be reading before we know it. 🙂
I got an invite from the Tonawanda Bowling Center for a Family Moonlite Bowling event. Basically, they had a regular midnight bowling event in the middle of the afternoon for families with small children to enjoy! They had the black-lights on, the music turned up, lights flashing and special prizes and give-aways. It was a ton of fun and a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
This is a terrible photo but I was trying to capture that it was dark in the alley with the black-lights on and the spotlights shining:
There were 3 orange balls on our ball return stand and he knew every single time exactly which ball was his. And, there were a few times when he darn near wrestled it out of the hands of the kids on the lane next to us. 🙂

We had a great time:
I’m looking forward to the day when Matthew can come and bowl too!
Like normal, I headed over to mom and dad’s to help prep our Thanksgiving lunch while Mike kept the boys out of our hair. Mom, Rachel and I chat while watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade on TV and prepare lunch.
Mike and I thought Matthew would skip his morning nap since he got up late….but we were mistaken:
Unfortunately, he got a REALLY short nap and was a bit of a grump afterward.
Mike brought the boys over to my parents and we set up a quick photo shoot to get some pictures to send to Courtney and the gang:
We went back inside and waited for mom to finish mashing potatoes….
After an awesome Thanksgiving lunch and nap time for the little guys, we went over to Great Grandpa Samulski’s house to have Thanksgiving dinner with Mike’s family.
Like normal, Matthew tried to see how close he could get to the TV:
Ian and Matthew modeled the “Pil-drin” hat Ian made at school:
We had a really great dinner and then settled in to watch tv and the boys play.
They had a really great time spinning in circles on this chair. Their laughter made all of us smile. 🙂
It was a great Thanksgiving!!!
