Thanksgiving

Today was an awesome day! Lots of food and family! And the weather couldn't have been more lovely! My cousin Genna and her husband Jon hosted this year and it was fantastic!

We started the day by watching for the cats. (They were outside as lots of kids/people and cats may not be a good thing when cats aren't used to kids)



The boys had lots of fun feeding Sarah.



And playing with her too, of course.



The boys helped cook a little.



We played outside with the husky dogs.



We ate too much!



Made rice crispy turkeys.



And probably ate more of the candy than was necessary. :)



We stared at the cats through the door again.



We decided we needed to work off some of the feast we just consumed so we played Dance Revolution.



It was fun!


Later we found the wishbone in the turkey and my aunt carefully explained to the boys what it means and what to do.


They thought hard what to wish for...



Pulled...and would you believe it split evenly in half!?!?



Which means everyone gets their wish! Imagine the excitement!



It was a great day indeed!! Happy Thanksgiving!

Leaves!

Earlier I posted about how excited I was about having a beautiful tree...


Well that beautiful tree is loosing its leaves, as one would expect. So why not have fun with it?



I love that Zach is wearing his helmet. He was riding his bike right before playing in the leaves and just didn't take it off. It cracks me up. Like he is hardcore playing in the leaves or something.



Neighbor kids came to join in the fun.

Boys!

Totally having one of those mom moments. The boys are something else today!

We have swimming lessons after school and the boys thought it was funny to stretch their goggles out and snap them on their faces. Why they thought that was a good idea is beyond me. Zach teared up from the smack to his face and Alex broke his goggles.



Notice in the picture my kids in the background totally not doing what they are supposed to. Sigh.

This all happened after Zach informs me that Josh got yelled at by the principal today for tooting with his armpit!

I realize this is all funny and ridiculous, which is why I'm blogging about it, but in the moment you think you may just loose your mind!
