Painting on the floor...which required baths of course.

 Playing with "cloud dough" (8 c. flour mixed with 1 c. baby oil)...a powdery substance that also holds it's form.  Kids loved it.  Also required a bath when done. :)

 "Spice painting"...seeing and smelling the different colors and scents of cinnamon, tumeric, cloves, ginger, etc.

 Buddies!  So thankful for the way that play together (most of the time...). 

 Heading out to the deer stand for hunting with Dad this last weekend.  Andre had shot a buck the morning before.  They loved the four-wheeler ride up to the stand and got to see four deer while there.

 Our "thankful tree" for this Thanksgiving time...I cut out a bunch of leaves and had them on our dining room table.  After supper we'd (mainly the kids) write something we were thankful for on a leaf and put it on the branches (sticks in a vase of pumpkins).  Sierra especially loved this activity.  This picture was taken a couple weeks ago, so the branches are quite a bit more full now!  We are out of leaves but the kids want more made.
