I forgot these of Baron....

Yes there's more

More pictures

Of course we did not buy all these. Don't worry Nolan I didn't spend all the money ( HAHAHA)

Pictures

Today I took the kids to get pictures taken. Nothing special they have already had 3 yr and 18 month taken in Oct. I just really like there coordinating sweaters so I thought "what the heck". Anyone that knows me knows how much I like finding the kids matching stuff. Here is the pics they got. It is so hard to get them both with good expressions on their faces.

Wolf Sanctuary

On Saturday we went to the Wolf Sanctuary. We have never been there before. It is a joint project with the zoo and Wash U. There are tons of different kinds of wolfs there and they work on getting them ready to go back to the wild. Some of the varieties they have there are only a handful left in the world. We got a really up close view and we ended up getting a tour with just our family. The pics don't look great since there is 2 fences between us and the wolves. But, we were about 3 feet away. We did have some things that did not go our way or were working against us. It was very cold that day ( 20's.) Poor Amelia could hardly walk with so many layers on. Then the tour was supposed to be an hour walking tour. Well it lasted 2 hours which went into lunch/naps time. And little Amelia just was too wore out. It's funny now. But, we just kind of let the kids do what we do and think that is how they learn. We are not big on strollers. And the kids HATE them ( the kids like being active) Baron has not used one for a LONG time and Amelia is pretty slim these days. We like to let them walk to burn off energy and see things ( even though it keeps me on my toes). Amelia had walked about a mile and just could not make it anymore and did not want to be carried. And she needed to be quite not to bother the wolves. So we ended up taking her back to the car where she took a quick nap. And Baron and Nolan did the rest of the tour. Nolan offered to go back to the car... But, to be honest it was OK for me to warm up in the car. so why we did have fun. It would of been better with warmer weather, less layers on the kids, and a little shorter walk.

A girl can't have too many purses

Amelia really loves purses and bags. But, now I am kicking myself as I saw a really cute purse at Gymboree a few months ago. Amelia has most of this collection and the sales person said you need this it is the last one they have been selling like crazy. I thought waht 18 month old needs a purse. They still have them on the Gymboree Website but are sold out. So I looked on Ebay and since they are so hard to find they are really expensive. No way I will spend as much as a name brand adult purse for a 1 year old. Oh well maybe a cute one will turn up before Christmas

Arts and Crafts with Santa

Last night Mommy and Daddy took us to see Santa. We went to Arts and Crafts with Santa. It was a fun night. We did not wear any specail holiday outfits since this is a messy thing and Daddy was running late ( traffic) from work and had to meet us there. I guess Mom had her work cut out with she had to get us dressed, fed, coats on, in the car, and bathroom. We got to make some really neat crafts, make a Gingerbread House and see Santa. Of course Amelia wanted no part of that ( just like me the last few years). At first I was a little shy and tried to stand behind Mom and yell my list and Santa. But, then I warmed up to the nice man and set on his lap and petted his beard. I can't wait for him to come to my house!
