Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving was really nice. Of course, we ate lots of yummy food and spent lots of good time with family. Due to technical difficulties, we only have a few pictures from our second walk to the park and a couple from later in the day. Even though we don't have a lot of pictures, we have a lot of memories of a great day and know how much we have to be thankful for.

We played games (some more successfully than others)

We played at the park (it was almost 70 degrees!!)

And apparently our little turkey provided some good laughs at the other table with comments like this: "It's a bald one" Eva G said as she picked up a piece of broccoli that was mostly just the stem and not much on top! 

Yep, that's our girl!

Walking and Wishes

A little wacky angle, but spur of the moment cell phone pics seem to be what we're getting these days. Anyway, here's what we found on our walk today--a handful of sticks (of course) and a lovely dandelion ready for blowing and making a wish!

World Prematurity Day

Today is World Prematurity Day. Take a minute to say a prayer for those all of those little babies and their families in the NICU today and for the journey they have ahead of them.

Giddy Up

Guess who realized there's more to do in the grocery store than just shop? Can you believe it only cost a penny!!

(sorry for the poor quality--cell phone pic)

And nowadays we always have to ride in the "kids car" when one is available. We've been doing this for a little while now, and it took us a few tries to figure out how to behave in the kids cart. The first couple of times Miss Eva thought it was great fun to hop out and start walking around if picking out the produce seemed to be taking too long or if there was any lull in the action. It took a couple of times to the grocery store WITHOUT riding in the kids cart to remember how to behave and we haven't had any problems since. (probably just jinxed it, right?!)

11 random pictures from our day--what we did, where we went, who we saw

 

Pots n Pans

Wonder if this fascination and love will still be around 10-12 years from now?! We can only hope!

When she realized we had filled up the sink, Eva G hauled her little stool over and dug right in and ended up with a sopping wet shirt. Lately she gets so excited when we wash the pots and pans or odd and ends that don't go in the dishwasher. Of course, she especially loves the bubbles.

Happy Halloween!

 Our little Dorothy had a great time. She especially loved her "ruby, red slippers." She was sure to tell anyone who asked what her footwear was going to be. We went trick or treat-ing at just a few places and then hit a trunk or treat, which was a lot of fun. It was a really  nice evening and no jacket required while we were out. 

 Uh, sorry for the unfortunate placement of the fingers, but this is the only one that we managed to get showing her sweet little goodie bag.

Having her ONE piece of candy at the end of the night. She thoroughly enjoyed it.

The funniest part of the day was earlier in the afternoon. We got a phone call and this is what showed up on caller ID. NO KIDDING!:

How funny is that? I thought someone had found some service or something that would show whatever you wanted on caller ID and they thought it would be funny to prank us this way, since we didn't have a Toto for our little Dorothy to carry. Well, as it turns out, it was a service for lost dogs and someone a few streets over lost her little dog, Toto, and this was the APB for the dog. We just thought it was too much of a coincidence and got a good laugh out of it.
