Paper Airplane Contest and Ninja Cookies

Last night Luke suggested we have a paper airplane contest. Isabel was the judge and here are the results... Joey then made Ninja Cookies with Sylvia. He is always so good to make whatever kind of cookie Sylvia wants and this time she suggested Ninja cookies. She also insisted on wearing nothing but her apron and hat while baking. She said, "Ahh this feels good." Yesterday I told Sylvia no for something. She just smiled at me and said, "Mom, you looked cute when you shook your head and said no like that."  I'm glad that I am just so adorable to her.

Mini-Time Machine: A Museum of Miniatures

We were not allowed to take pictures in this museum but sneaked just one. The Mini-Time Machine: A Museum of Miniatures is fabulous! I couldn't believe how nice it was. Isabel is convinced that it is a magical place. Joey (a 34 year old man) even loved it! Check out their website.

Just to explain this picture.  They are on top of a see through floor above a Christmas village.

Thanksgiving

My parents came and visited for Thanksgiving.  During their stay they took Luke, Isabel and Sylvia out individually to do whatever they chose.  Sylvia decided breakfast at McDonald's would be fun.

Then a trip to "the store with the colorful letters!"

Grandma trying to find a toy that would be hands on for my hands on Sylvia.  They eventually got her a tool set and she loves it.

Sylvia in her "sheep costume" that G&G got for her from Costco.

I am a little afraid that Isabel just loves the mall.

escalator rides.

Going to stores that I am sure grandpa LOVED going to.

Luke chose the biosphere.

Sadly, right after they bought the tickets and went into the first room, Luke slumped down sick and they had to take him home.  Luckily, just one good puking and he was fine.  He then chose to play Monopoly with G&G and they had a good time.  I wish I would have gotten a picture of them playing.

Here we are going for a little hike on Thanksgiving morning.  The weather was/is fabulous!  Having seasons is so overrated.

I remember being up there when I was her age!

Yes, Hazel is still around.
