We're baaaaaack (again), and we have a Graduate!

Wow, I am so sorry. Yet again it has been too long since I have inserted my two cents into the world of mommy-blogging and virtual-parenting. Albeit it is mostly because I have been busy, well, parenting.

We did also experience some technical difficulties here at the Sirois home for a short stint which got me out of the blogging habit- never a good thing.

Anyway, here I am.

And I have a Kindergarten graduate. Can you believe that?!! WHERE does the time go?!



Graduations and birthdays are often a time of reflection, and it is no different now for us, as we watch Spiderman graduate from kindergarten, and turn 6 on Thursday.

6 years old.

My little man has NO idea what has happened in that 6 years. And really, retrospectively, I am glad it has only been 6 years.

As I 've mentioned before, such as in in between parenting , my ex bf and I share custody of Spiderman, and it hasn't always been an easy, or even existent for that matter, co parenting relationship. Nonetheless, as I reflect today, I am happy to see how far we've come.

I can see past the initial anger, and the hurt - to see the gorgeous, wonderful, happy, spirited, and intelligent little man we have raised - together.

Together with each other, our spouses, Spiderman's siblings, his grandparents, his aunts and uncles, his friends, our friends.... he is ONE LOVED LITTLE BOY <3

And I am so proud at how far he's come, how far we've come, and what a magnificent life he has set before him. SO much love surrounds him from all sides- he can't lose!

I thought I would share some of my favorite "glimpses" of him through the years <3










Oh, my little Spiderman, how much has changed since you first entered kindergarten. I am so proud of the little man you are becoming, and so proud and honored to be your mommy <3 I love you!

Our Holiday in Pictures

Here's a review of our family holiday this year: 
Enjoy! :)


We made our own candlesticks while we hosted Thanksgiving again this year




We made Advent bags this year filled with the story cards of Jesus' birth and some treats of course, for the season of Advent

the kids had fun opening the bags each day to see what was inside <3 

Spiderman and Baby A enjoyed making their annual Gingerbread house

and this year they both got to color wooden Christmas trees they got at Family Appreciation Night

We even found some wooden ornaments at Target (20 for only $5) and the kids had a blast coloring them and putting them on the tree! 



Baby B, myself, and my friend Ali got to spend some time scoping out local crafts at the annual South Berwick Holiday Stroll!

Spiderman, Baby A, and Sissy did an excellent job decorating the tree...

....and showing off their favorite ornaments! 

baby A and auntie Shell, from The Economical Eater, baked Christmas cookies

and the 3 youngest participated in this years' Christmas pageant at our church. Baby B was baby Jesus, Spiderman (front RIGHT) was a shepard, and Baby A (far RIGHT) was an angel (who refused to wear her halo lol) 
then we hosted Christmas Eve for the rest of the Sirois clan L-R: auntie Cortney, Amma, Baby A, Pepe, Baby B, and cousin Phi

they LOVE family time <3 L-R: Phi, Baby A & Baby B 
Even Sissy and Daddy had some fun! :) 

 Then SANTA CAME! 



Santa and the grandparents spoiled the kids this year! Santa brought the kids 3 presents each this year instead of one- they got totally spoiled!



daddy and Spiderman even got to build a tow truck together! He was so proud of it!! 

Overall a blessed holiday, and we look forward to MANY MANY more <3 
 Happy Holidays and Happy New Year
from our family here at NurturingtheNaturalMama!
