It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

It has become an annual tradition for Jacob to help Bill put up his Christmas lights and he loves it.

A new fixture this year, a train.

Neighbor extraordinaire Linda and her new holiday wreath.

Too busy to stop "working" to eat lunch so I kept giving him finger food like these crackers to keep him going.

After all the outside lights at our neighbors we went to Grandpa's and Aunt Thea's to decorate the Christmas tree. We let Jacob do most of it.

Looking at the lights with Aunt Thea.

Our weekend was filled with family and friends and we enjoyed every minute.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for all my family and friends. I am truly blessed. Happy Thanksgiving.

I Am Thankful For...By Jacob Zwang

This is Jacob's 3rd grade essay on Thanksgiving, a very scientific view. Enjoy!

I am thankful for...

I am thankful for trees because they give us paper. Important because you need it to learn. Books are made of paper. Paper is very useful for learning to write and read. Paper can be used for a lot of things.

Trees also give us wood. Wood is very important because it gives us table and houses and popsicle sticks. There are tons of things that wood is useful for. Trees give us oxygen. Oxygen is important because we need it to breathe. We could not live without oxygen. Oxygen is what anything living needs.

That is what I am thankful for.

Turkey Trouble

Turkey Trouble

By Jacob Zwang

It was the night before Thanksgiving

and there was turkey trouble in the barn.

Turkey was not very in a good mood.

He had turkey trouble because

he was the main course at dinner.

Jacob wrote this last year in November. I don't know how I missed posting it because I think it is a cute 2nd grade story. I hope there is no turkey trouble in your house.

Rainy Day Project

Need a computer? Michael had an old laptop computer that he gave to Jacob to dismantle. It took them about an hour and a half to disassemble this one. Jacob had a ball and couldn't wait to show me what all the pieces did. Another engineer in the making.

Halloween 2011

Jacob and Michael's pumpkin carving came out great this year.
This was the only picture I managed to take at the Halloween party and it is blurry. Well there is always next year.
