What HAVE they been doing......

Since mid-October to now it seems life has just kind of been a blurrrr........Between extra Dr.'s appointments for myself starting in mid-Oct to all of Eric's doctor dealings up to now.....I can honestly say I think I've taken the camera out once - Halloween night....but thank goodness Grandma Doll picked up where I have left off....so finally some new pictures of the kids....or at least Ana and Eli....


Eli decided to paint his fingernails with markers....I guess it's better than actual fingernail polish



Ana enjoying what she enjoys the most...pen & paper....endlessly drawing or writing something down.


While on a trip to Home Depot with Grandma and Papa...Ana and Eli got in on their own building project.....


Today's project was Trivets.....


Eli getting a little assitance with his project....


Eli trying his best to use his "knocker" - that is what he so graciously calls a hammer....


No trip to Montana would be complete without a trip to "Build a Bear" - Eli has actually had a gift card to this store since his second birthday....but of course has been too scared to actually go into the store to make one....Grandma was determined to try again this time....it was talked about for over a day...Eli was brave and ready to go.....but of course froze right in place the moment they got to the front of the store.....thankfully the store was empty...so the lady working was willing to bring all the "dogs" to the front of the store so Eli did not have to go in...and he finally picked the one he wanted....once the "Dog" was stuffed - Eli had no problem going into the store and finding all the accessories for his "soccer dog".....I guess it was something about just not wanting to give the Dog a "bath" - the noise was "too scarey" - which is why he didn't want to go into the store - Go figure!



The finished result.....Eli and his new dog - officially named "boom boom Eli Shmeeeli".......


And Ana with "Ana Banana" - the pink monkey she made on her 2nd birthday....


This past week - these three attended the Veteran's Day Parade with Grandma in Rapid City


And then when Grandma Judi arrived, both Grandma's braved the task of taking all three kids to the Swimming pool during open swim time....THEY LOVED IT! (the kids that is...)


And if that task wasn't enough...this morning both Grandma's had the joyous task of taking all three kids in to get there flu shots.......that's always a lovely experience!
