Spencer and Carter must have had an early morning photo shoot. I love when I go to upload pictures and find these random shots on my camera.
I thought it would be so fun for the boys and I to do a Thanksgiving craft for all of the grandparents. The boys lasted about 10 minutes before they were over it and I was stuck at the kitchen table for another hour and half. Oh well, the grandparents all liked ‘Spencer and Carter’s’ handiwork.
The night before Thanksgiving we went to my mom’s so I could make apple pies for the next day. My cute grandparents were staying there while their house was being fixed after a small house fire. My grandma wasn’t going to make her apple pie because I was already making one and because she didn’t have all of the ingredients she needed for hers. But when my grandpa found out he wasn’t happy and he took my mom aside to ask her if she would go to the store and get the ingredients grandma needed. I tried not to take it personally that my apple pie wasn’t good enough for him.

Mom pretending to be helping us – she just threw on an apron and held up a cup, such a faker!
Grandpa had a captive audience as he was setting up his childhood train around the tree.
A little glimpse of our feast - I love Matt's face up in the corner.

Spencer has a hair twirling obsession. Ever since he was a baby he has used it to self-soothe. He does it when he's eating, when he's thinking, when he's sleeping, when he's relaxing - basically all of the time. The only problem is that it makes his hair stand straight up in the back. In fact as I look over at him while I'm typing this he has a massive rooster tail going on. He was rather traumatized over the summer when I took the boys in for haircuts and had their hair cut really short. That night he was in tears for 20 minutes saying that he didn't want his hair 'small' he wanted it 'big'. I felt so bad for him as I watched his fingers go up to their familiar spot trying to twirl hair that was no longer there. Spencer has refused to have his hair cut ever since. But after a long talk with Aunt Michelle and a promise that she would leave it long enough in the back for him to twirl he finally agreed.
