Thanksgiving 2008

For Thanksgiving lunch we went to HPU ready to volunteer serving others in our community. However, there was already plenty of people there to help so we ate lunch and then spent some time watching the Stewardson boys run and play. But first I tried to get some posed pictures. When will I learn my lesson??Will found a leaf to keep him still for about 10 seconds. Long enough to get a decent picture!I think Thomas was itching his nose. Definitely not picking it, though! Okay, you can tell by the attitude Thomas is giving me that he's ready to go.

Sitting down isn't much better ~ especially since Dad is forcing Thomas to put his arm around Will!So what's more fun than 2 uncooperative boys? 4 uncooperative boys! Luke just wanted down, Gray and Thomas were singing some random song along with the adults in the background, and Will was just hanging out.Let's try again.....

Luke ~ trying to escape once again.

Gray ~ kicking back and chillin'.

Thomas ~ picking (oops, I mean itching) his nose.

Will ~ holding on for dear life.

Maybe the boys will do better if Honey and Paw Paw are there to hold them. Um, nope, no such luck!

How about we turn them loose and let them run and play like little boys should do!

Before we headed home for long winter naps we spotted a butterfly and Thomas tried to give it "pat pats". We all have so much to be thankful ~ even little butterflies!
