US+2sDay Thanksgiving Recap
December 1st, 2009 — Photos, Uncategorized
Pepe and Grandma came to our home for Thanksgiving weekend. On Thanksgiving morning we were delighted to have a new kitchen to play with in our family room. Our friends the Kato's and Fullerton's came over for some pre-Thankgiving cheer. The adults had Bloody Mary's in honor of Grandpa. Grandboogie came over with the stuffing, greens and gravy (Yum!). She gave us a nativity scene which has moved all over the house. Uncle Chuckie was not able to join us but sent pies over (Thanks!). Bono's did a great job with the Turkey. Mom and Grandma did a great job with the rest. After Pepe put his carving skills to work we feasted! We had a great Thanksgiving!
On Friday Pepe visited the Beach, Dad battled the Black Friday crowds while Mom and Grandma took us to a hands on museum. We had a blast. On Saturday we went to our local art and vegetable market. That night Dad and Mom took out Pepe and Grandma to Mortons to celebrate their anniversary. We finished off the weekend by picking out our tree and going to our church's Crismon service. Enjoy the pictures:
US+2sDay Catchin’ UP
November 17th, 2009 — family, Photos, twins, Uncategorized
Well the blog master (TwinPop) has been delinquent with posting for 3 weeks now. Weeks one and two can be written off to a bout of the flu and a chest cold. Last week just got the best of him.
We had planned on going to visit Cousin Carter, Aunt Heather and Uncle Mel (with the magic knuckles) on Halloween. Unfortunately our Princess spiked a high fever at dinner on Friday the 30th so the plans were scuttled. A trip to the Dr. , some rest and medicine and she wanted to brave the neighborhood to get candy. We pulled our "fairy" and "scary Monster" through the neighborhood. What a bag of candy they got!
A funny side note: Karen has been trying to explain Santa so that the kids will understand a little better this year. Henry said that he wants a train. Well what do you know one of the neighbors was dressed as Santa and was passing out candy. Through out the evening we had to remind the kids to say trick or treat and thank you. Well we come to Santa handing out candy and Karen says "what do you say?" Hank replies: "I want a train".
Halloween
Unfortunately we lost a cherished member of the family. Karen's cat (Ed's by marriage) of 17 years fell ill and had to be put down. She was a one woman cat, and that woman really loved her! She is missed.Georgie
The week following Halloween the kid's school hosted a fall festival, complete with pony rides, a maze and petting zoo. The next morning we went to the fair and saw all of the animals that we missed the night before. Our Princess just made the height needed to go on rides. Guess if they had fun. As you can see from the artwork we are getting ready for Thanksgiving.

US+2sDay Spooks, Parades and Picnics

What a busy but fun weekend we had! On Friday we joined Mom's Rotary group at the zoo for the "spooktacular". We toured the zoo and trick or treated. We got a lot of candy. Saturday we packed up the van for a trip downtown to support the local children's hospital. Dad's Rotary group built a choo choo train out of a wagon. We marched in the parade with the wagon! After church on Sunday Dad set up the bounce house in the back yard. Mom made us a picnic lunch and Grandma (aka the common tater) joined us. By the time it was over we were pooped! Nap time was never so good!
US+2sDay Hoops

Mom was sick with the flu this week. Thankfully, she is better now. Since Dad only knows how to make beer and chips he asked SuperNanny to cook dinner for us. SuperNanny let us make pizza one night. We had fun and it was good!
On Friday we took Dad to our school for donuts. We saw Jackson Deville the Jaguar Mascot but we did not want to get our picture taken with him.
On Saturday we got the new basketball hoop Mom and Dad promised Mr H. Mr H was a thumb sucker but quit after Mom and Dad applied the icky stuff that the dentist gave to them to put on his thumb. Mom promised him a hoop if he would keep the thumb out of the mouth. Bribery worked!
The last three pictures are of our princess. She is already scaring Dad. She has inherited the shopping gene from Mom's side of the family. Scary on the pocket book.
