Thanksgiving Week Begins

We had a lot of guests and a lot of fun the week of Thanksgiving. On Monday, Molly, Xavier and Isabelle came to visit. The kids had a blast playing together and we even managed to fit in a trip to the Children's Museum while Rosa watched the twins. The funniest part of the visit was Finn's obsession over Xavier's shirt, specifically whether it was on. Soon after arriving, Xavier said it was too hot in the house and took his shirt off. Finn was completely thrown for a loop by this decision. He kept asking me "where is Xavi's shirt?" "Is Xavier going to put his shirt on?" I tried to explain to him that Xavier took his shirt off because he was too hot, but Finn wasn't buying it. That night when the kids had a sleepover in Finny's room, it took over an hour to get them all quieted down. The Thomas' fell asleep first and when I went up to tell Finn he needed to go to sleep too, all he could say was "Is Xavier going to put his shirt on?" The next night on our way home from dinner, I told Finn that he was going to have another sleepover in his room and he immediately said "Is Xavier going to wear his shirt?" The last straw for Finn was right before they all left on Wednesday, Xavier spilled some hot chocolate on his shirt and Molly took it off to wash it. Finn came down the stairs a few minutes later and as soon as he saw Xavier he plaintively asked "Where is Xavier's shirt?" Not sure why it bothered him so much, but it was cracking Molly and I up. Here's a picture of Finn, Xavier and Iz taken right before they left on Wednesday. Finn looks like such a shrimp in comparison.
