Happy Thanksgiving!

We just want to wish all our family and friends a happy turkey day! We love you!

(After seeing a Christmas commercial on TV)

Allie: "Mom, it's hard to be good. It's haaaard. Did you know that?"

Me: (thinking to myself) Should I ask for further explanation on this one? Probably not.

Posterchild for seatbelt safety....

Miss Olivia decided to crawl out of her seat belt just about the same time dad caught a red light. Nice, huh?
















Allie lost tooth #2 tonight... she actually had two teeth fused together so she got a 2 for 1 deal.


And Claire just wanted her picture taken, too.
Did I mention we are having family pictures taken tomorrow. They should look great with a black eye and knocked-out teeth (not really knocked-out).

Failure to communicate...

Yesterday afternoon Allie came down with a high fever and spent the rest of the evening vomiting (not so much fun). Well, this morning she was feeling a lot better, but we decided to keep her out of school just to be on the safe side, so she is spending the day with Charlie at his office. Well, this morning we were getting ready and I gave her some pedialyte to drink. She asked what it was and I told her, "Pedialyte." "Well, it tastes like cool-aid, Mom," she says. A few minutes later, she is telling Claire about her drink and she says, "Claire, this is Pee-a-lyte, but it doesn't taste like pee. No, it takes like cool-aid, it's good!"

We weren't really sure what Allie came down with. She got the H1N1 vaccine on Saturday, so we thought she might have had a reaction to that or it could have just been a little stomach bug. Anyway, she is feeling a lot better today and is actually keeping stuff down, including the "Pee-a-lyte."

Playing catch-up

Our little chunky monkey... he weighed in at

12 lbs and he's 23 1/2 inches at his 2 month check on Thursday. He is doing well, as you can see he is getting quite the little personality. Hard to believe he will be 3 months soon! He does have an umbilical hernia that we will have to keep an eye on. If it doesn't close up on its own he will have to have it repaired in about a year or two :( But otherwise he is a healthy boy.























Sleeping is still one of his favorite past-times....

Halloween... do you see a theme? And, no there's not exactly a gypsy in the story, I just liked the costume.

This was our trunk-or-treating get-up...

The cutest little scarecrow... one of our friends at church borrowed her to sit in her scarecrow patch... she had a good time eating all the candy!

Carving pumpkins...
