Thanksgiving Day

We celebrated Thanksgiving Day with a fried turkey and took some pilgrim candids as part of an activity. 

Just off the boat. I hear only 5 women survived the trip.

Second cousin Makenzie reading with the babies.  She was the flower girl in our wedding.  Yikes, she grew up!

All of the cousins together.  I love baby Ryan's expression in the background!

Arthur had to find the tricycle when he was at GiGi and Papa's house.

"Property of Mom Forever" - Love it!

Hockey Time

I'm a little bit behind with the posts, but there will be plenty this week. 

We went to the Thrashers vs. Capitals hockey game last Friday night. 

We had very special visitors join us for the weekend and they were helpful with Arthur.  Before the game, we stopped by the CNN Center food court and hung out for a bit.  Art doesn't understanding that hanging out means sitting still. Luckily, Grammy was helpful.

He did well during the hockey game and loved the fire coming out of the Thrasher's mouth after the team scored.

He found the program and was looking through it.  He saw something he liked. 

(He actually pointed to their belly buttons because they are exposed.  Hilarious!)

Tiny Tots & Tunes

We went to music class every Tuesday morning.  He doesn't care much about it, but it gets us out of the house.

This is usually what happens. He doesn't like to participate much. He may shake a maraca, but he'd rather observe.

Looks like all the babies got restless and of course, Art in the back.

Let's Go Sam'sing

So, it doesn't have the same jingle as "Let's Go Krogering," but whatever.  I love the carts at Sam's because you can put two kids side by side.  Here's the kiddos through the months.

Fall = Yardwork

It's a good thing he doesn't know that he should jump in the leaves.  This was round 2 of cleaning up leaves that had fallen off of trees.  We don't have a forest in the backyard either.

Ah, a grassless backyard.  It's breath-taking, really.

Here Doggie, Doggie

Here's another day at the O'Connor house:

Mr. Fixit

The neighbors across the street gave us GiGi and Papa a small bike for the kiddies to play on.

The seat was a little far back so Papa Jim fixed it for Arthur.

Art loved the tools.

He loved helping Papa Jim just as much.

Checking it out.

Afterwards, Papa Jim pushed him around the kitchen.  He loved riding the new bike!
