Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and we shared it with our friends, the Hussey's.  I forgot my camera, so Lenette took some pictures for me.  She kindly posted them on her blog, so to see them, I will direct you to the right, where you will find her link.  We are under "Gobble Gobble".  

I am still eating the yummy leftovers.  Riley isn't a casserole fan, so he finished off the pies and has gone to his favorite barbeque restaurant for dinner tonight.  (He comes back with it and eats it here.)

Pictures from Mexico

What I Came Home To

I'm back from my week long trip to Mexico and this is what was waiting for me.  The kids brought the poster to the airport, and the flowers and some brownies that are long gone, were waiting for me at home.  So sweet.  Oh, and lots and lots of laundry.

The Costumes

Every year we seem to wait until the last minute to decide what we want to be.  Meaning, the kids.  Adam kind of gave up and said he didn't want to go trick or treating at all.  Right.  So Amy and I went to the store Halloween day and found Adam a pirate set and Elli a witch costume.  One good thing is that they were already on sale and we got them for cheap.  Adam hated his, but couldn't stand not getting candy and Elli was happy.  We borrowed Amy's costume from some friends, but she didn't even know who Eyore was.  Maybe next year we'll plan a little better but probably not.  It all worked out just fine!

Carving

Somehow the pictures got switched around, so here are the finished Jack-o-lanterns.  Elli did the first one to look like her own mouth.  Amy's is the middle one and Adam did the mean one.
First we had to do this.  No kidding.
