The Pooh Magnet

Yesterday Haylee went to go to the bathroom and she came and got me and said, "Mom, there's a magnet in the toilet, it's the pooh one."

How ironic that the pooh bear magnet was in the the toilet.

Karl wanted a break for Thanksgiving -- not a day slaving away in the kitchen. We took a picnic and went to Natural Bridge KY, State Park. We had a great time and then came home to watch a movie and eat a small "Thanksgiving"ish dinner. We were very thankful for a break.

Zach Happy to be out and going somewhere new.

Karl SO THANKFUL for some time off. He didn't even bring any books home! How do you like the no shave November look?

Smile Rebecca -- she tried even though she had a cracker in her mouth.

Loving the picnic and fresh air.

Some fun family photos...

We hiked just over two miles, but we climbed lots of stairs! The kids did great. Rebecca was the only one that needed help and even she did most of it by herself. When we were nearly to the top she turned to me and said, "My knee is tired." So I picked her up and carried her a little way. I put her back down. She walked a few minutes more, then turned to Karl and said,"Now my whole self is tired." He walked really slowly with her to the top and carried her all the way down.

Carson was very funny on the hike. He kept saying, "Here's the bridge! Is this the bridge? Hey, this looks like the natural bridge. Dad, is this the natural bridge? Guys, I think it's around the corner now. We're almost there. Is this it?" After 10 minutes of the same, I took his talking privileges away.
