Too much Turkey

We drove to the hub's parents for Thanksgiving and the girls were SO EXCITED! We had a great week with the fam. Katie, Jason, and Zach drove down, and the kids loved seeing him. They are great entertainment for each other. We missed Abby, Mando, and Bo, but we'll see them in a few weeks for Christmas! My mom and dad stopped in for lunch on Friday, so it was good to see them too. Zach had a birthday party that day too, so it was a jam packed weekend...maybe too much excitement.....

Leaf pile

We are back! I'm too tired to post the Thanksgiving pics, but I thought this was a funny pic! Pappy had a leaf pile in the back yard, and it didn't take long for Allie to find it! More tomorrow...we had a great week.

Daddy's home!

note: those are green beans on Gbaby's face...not boogers

Car Seat Talk

This has been a L O N G weekend and start to the week, but relief is in sight! Garrett and Allie had bad colds last week and into the weekend, so I quarantined them as not to infect the rest of the town and to keep them from getting anything else before we leave for Thanksgiving. I HAD to get out by Sunday afternoon, so we went to where else??? SONIC! When I handed Allie her drink, she said, "hmmm.....Mom it's Happy Hour!!!, and then asked, "what does that mean?" I said, well it means we got your drink a little cheaper. After taking a sip, she said, "hmm...it tastes cheaper...it's REALLY good!!" Ahh...the concept of money to a 5 year old.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We are outta here tomorrow. The hubs has not had more than one day off at a time since Nov 1, so we are BOTH so EXCITED that he is off 4 full days!!!

Look there's Land!

That was Allie's big line in the kindergarten Thanksgiving play at her school. She told me before that she was "a little nervous,", but who ever knew Allie to be afraid of an audience. When it came her time, she said her line, and then she grinned from ear to ear at her accomplishment with pilgrim pride. Check out the "bow" at the end of the play! It was pretty long, so I just posted a few clips.

Is it Friday yet?

It is only Wednesday, and I'm not counting this as one of our more stellar weeks. I took Garrett for his 6 month well child visit yesterday, and he wasn't so well. He's just got a nice little cold, with more wheezing than what makes me comfortable. The Dr gave him an inhaler which is giving him relief, but he's having fevers still and awake much of the night. Oh, and did I mention that as I'm trying to type this, my backspace function is not working. You try typing a blog post without using the backspace button! So here's what happend to top off my morning ('I'm not correcting the word happened because I'm afraid it'll freeze up again!), one of the girls locked the dog in the bedroom unbeknown st to me. When I came home from dropping Allie off, I heard banging from the bedroom. It was Hannibal trying to get out, and he literally almost dug a whole through the carpet. Fabulous! Oh and now I cannot even see the words I'm tyiping.! Tyme to reboot...everything!

Tagged

Mandy tagged me a while back, and I'm so behind the blogging times that I wasn't "up to speed" on this fun little blogging game. When you are tagged, you are supposed to retrieve the fourth picture from the fourth album on your computer. So here it is......the hubs and Allie. He was in his 3rd year of training in NY, and Allie was 9 months old. I tag mamma lion, kelly, beth ann, melissa, amber, emmy, katie, amy, kristin, jannette, jaime, jenn, bec, and gretchen.
