We are thankful for a fun week filled with a particularly special adventure and no particularly unexpected surprises. :)
Day 267. Fall decorations ... turn into railroads around my house. ;) Compliments of Matthew. For the record, most anything can be turned into a railroad ... tomatoes, carrots, shovels, rocks, trucks, books, buddies ... yep, most anything. ;)
Day 268. However, those same fall decorations were incorporated into an art project which then turned into a brief photo session. (Matthew, unfortunately, was napping.)
Day 269. I am thankful for my hubby who's willing to read a story to the kids, even when he's mentally worn from a long day at work.
Day 270. A blissfully squabble-free, fun sibling time in the sandbox ...
Day 271. This picture is long overdue ... Daddy surprised Mommy and Hannah with matching aprons for Mothers' Day this year ... we've been enjoying them ever since. :)
Day 272. Peep! Peep! Our crew was very excited to spend a day out with Thomas! As you can imagine, we have many more pictures, but since this Mommy wants to focus her efforts on making a photo book for her munchkins, the pictures may or may not make it to the blog. :)
All of the attendants were so friendly and kind ... and ready to volunteer to take family pictures!
Day 273. And then the wonderful thing about an all-day family outing on Friday ... you have Saturday to recuperate. :) A general fall cleaning and purge ensued, along with Mommy's seasonal clothing swap. I am so thankful and glad not to have the "school" wardrobe in addition to the "everyday" wardrobe anymore!
And thus went our week. We are thoroughly excited to have our upstairs bath completely functional again ... Mommy and Daddy both have a few "finishing" touches (i.e. chair rail and curtains), so "after" pictures will be coming "after" it's finished. But functional is more than enough to smooth the daily routine. :)

YAY!!!! A functional upstairs bath!! And the Thomas the Train was large! I was expecting something more kid-sized. What a wonderful day it must have been.
Oh my word, how fun to visit Thomas! I'm laughing at Chris' position for reading - Bryan does the same with Kathryn after a long, tiring day. :-)
Yep! We definitely enjoyed visiting Thomas. :D He was big enough to "pull" the trsin. ;)
Looks like a fun week! I love your matching aprons -- they are beautiful!
On a side note, I noticed your post title this week...how in the world is the year that far gone already?!
A week to relish.......!
