Warm-up and Thanksgiving

I LOVE the holidays, so it should come as no shock that my boys are into celebrating every aspect of the holidays too! 

At the Kure Beach arcade with Uncle Kevin and Aunt Stef...

Brothers snuggling...

Just Kingston being sweet...

Warming his back to the fire while watching Home Alone for the first time...

Thanksgiving Feast at St. James Day School...

Day off school with mama starts with Kingston snuggles and then "Santa is watching" to encourage them to hold hands while shopping...

Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and then celebrating with the O'Connor side of the family on Friday...

Danny "hungover" from too much celebrating the other morning...

Pre-grab bag game and roasting marshmallows for s'mores...

The Grind

November 11th, a couple weeks after Kingston's 2 month "birthday", he weighed 12 lbs 4 oz (54%) and measured 23 inches (37%). 

Randomly we decided to have a bon fire and the boys were into it!

Crew crawling up the stairs to greet Danny the other morning, Superman Kingston and the boys getting along in a rare moment.

Fishy, Fishy

As average temperatures drop, Jimmy and the older boys are spending less and less time on the beach. Sigh. Good thing we have other extracurriculars to burn energy like fishing with Uncle Kevin at the pond behind Papa's house.

And we hit up the aquarium the other day - the first time in a while! Love their dinosaur exhibit they have going on. Bossy Crew yells at these giant things telling them to "stop it now!" when they growl or move. 

Kingston continues to be my chill little guy. Love him so much!

Creature Report

The week before last we surprised the boys with their first live performance show - The Octonauts at Cape Fear Community College's Wilson Center. Danny was pretty amazed by the whole thing. Crew was just excited about the concession stand. Typical. 

Show hadn't started, hence the face

Wiggle worm

While learning all about the letter "P" at school, they hosted a Pirate Day. I don't have much time for all the spirit/theme things they do these days, but I was happy with how this impromptu costume turned out.
