Sleepover at Cousins


All 3 kids got to sleep over at their cousins' house Thanksgiving weekend. Check out the fort they built.

Quote from Ben about their cat Izzy: "Tan you put da tat in a tage? "

(He's not real fond of Izzy jumping all over him ... obviously)

The best part of the story is that Izzy did end up sleeping in the fort with them after all (probably laying all over Ben in the middle of the night), and Ben didn't know or care.

Thankful on Thanksgiving

Avery made a little tree at school where you write what you're thankful for on a small paper leaf, and then hang it on the tree. We all wrote our notes and put them on the tree up at Aunt Cherie's house. Some great one-liners:

  • Avery: I am thankful for my family, nature, and oxygen.
  • Connor: I am thankful for my family and cousins.
  • Bennett: I am thankful for Batman DS game.
A & C also spent some time with Grandma Roth, asking her some questions about her life growing up. (They got the idea and some of the questions from a recent Rice Krispies box.) We recorded most of it for posterity. Some great info: getting to school on a sled, nobody could afford college cuz it was the depression, no vacations - parents took them to a park once, etc.
