Life in the Pits! by John Lee

I find the ball pit most relaxing and a great place to just hangout!

When Mama said it looked like I could sleep in there, I showed her what it would look like if I did! I am a funny kid!

Happy Thanksgiving Fairacres Style by John Lee

Our church held a Thankksgiving dinner for the whole community! Me and Denny got to go! There was lots of yummy food to eat.

We chowed down on all the traditional Thanksgiving foods, and most importantly, chocolate cake!

Then we had some time to play with Beau. I like Beau a lot!

We even took him outside to play on the playground! I liked the slide...

...even though I had to fight with Denny to climb up!

I also spent some time on the swing, just like a big boy! I am growing up so fast! I am thankful for my church family and the fun things we get to do with them. I am also thankful for chocolate cake!

Shooting Pow-Pows by John Lee

This weekends adventure was a trip to the shooting range so that Mama and Daddy could try out the shotgun. Denny tried out the ear plugs, but I just watched a movie in the van.

After the parents were done, me and Denny got to try out the cap gun - with caps and everything!

I would blink really hard each time the caps would pop, but I felt like a big boy getting to shoot. We have been learning that you only use play guns and never touch a real gun.

I was also a big helper picking up our shells and caps, so we didn't leave any mess. It was a neat new adventure for the Turner boys. I can't wait for more.

Buildin' and Growin' by John Lee

It was build and grow time again! This time we got to make Santa's sleigh. We were a little late, so we had to wait for hammers. Denny checked out the "constructions" while we were waiting.

Finally, it was our turn. We laid out all our parts and opened up the nails.

I was happy just to have a hammer!

The plastic table was to bouncy, so we moved to the floor. I liked this, as it gave me the opportunity to relax under the table while Denny and Mama worked!

We finally ended up with some pretty cute sleighs - complete with Santa and reindeer.

Denny wants to know if reindeer come from rain, but I know - reindeer are magic and come from the North Pole. I am not pictured here because by this time my cooperation level had hit an end, but it was fun to go and build something special.

Playin' Trains by Denny Lynn

Most of you know that I love trains! I play all the time. The best way to play is with John and my Daddy.

We play on my train table, or on the floor. I have lots of tracks and and different trains to keep it exciting!

The best part is spending time together!

The Big Horses by Denny Lynn

The Clydesdales came to town! There was a show at the mall so we went out to see. The team of giant horses pulls a red wagon with two drivers and a spotted dog! (the dog was John's favorite part).

We got to go up close and talk to the drivers, but then we watched them pull the wagon. It was very exciting.

Here is our group in front of the wagon.

It was neat to watch - I am pretty sure these horses eat more than my horses! I hope they will come to visit again soon!

This Week's Show and Tell by Denny Lynn

I learned all about chop sticks by watching Special Agent Oso. I practice whenever we have Chinese food. For this weeks show and tell, Mama and I decided we could show everyone how to use chopsticks. We even got enough for everyone. I took plates and fruit snacks for each person to practice. Of course, I had to practice first!

I always have to remember how to hold them just right, but with a little time, I can pick something up.

Since it is pretty hard, I knew everyone wouldn't be able to do it. I also showed them how to use their chopstick to stab whatever they wanted to eat and eat it off the stick! It was a great show and tell project to share. I am already thinking for next week.
