And so it begins
I’ve been dealing with throw up and laundry all day.
I was holding Luke this afternoon when he turned over and threw up all.over.me. We had just eaten meat and cheese on crackers, which means I will never be able to eat those things again. He’s thrown up another three times since then but I think he’s done now. [...]

B/c it’s just something you have to see
The Griswold and ditto homes (love ‘em):
Sorry this first one is blurry…
And then Kenny and Luke’s favorite things on Candy Cane Lane.
Kenny’s – the Candy Shop
Luke’s – the Abominable Snowman (of course)

Cutest.Thing.Ever.
What could be cuter than a two year old trying to say the abominable snowman?

Ditto
There is this house that we lovingly call the Griswold house. Seriously, they have almost every inch of their house and yard covered with Christmas stuff. We drove by it tonight and the house next door to it had us cracking up. It had ‘ditto’ written in Christmas lights with an arrow pointing to the Griswold [...]

1 little, 2 little, 3 little indians
Kenny had a Thanksgiving feast at school today. The kids dressed up in their Indian gear and ate a lot of turkey, ham, muffins, popcorn and fruit.

This was one of Kenny’s homework assignments. We had to work together to disguise our turkey so he would be safe on Thanksgiving Day. We turned ours [...]

Favorite ornaments
I only put up a few of my (as in mine, not the boys’) ornaments this year. These have always been my favorites and made the cut:
This was the angel that topped our tree when I was growing up.
I loved Miss Piggy when I was little. At some point I’ll have to post the picture of the birthday [...]

Oh Christmas tree
Our Christmas tree is up and the inside of our house is decorated for the holidays. I didn’t take out as many decorations as usual. I figure that less is best (or safer) this year with Luke and Mac running wild in the house.
Can you believe it? I got a picture where they are both smiling.

Favs
Have you guys started listening to Christmas music yet? I have even though I’m sure I’ll be Christmas music’ed out by December 1st. Here are my favorite ones:
1. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLachlan) - Eric makes fun of me because I listen to this song year round.
2. [...]

In pictures
My friend Brook met us in downtown Overland Park yesterday to take some fall pictures of the boys. She takes amazing pictures so when she offered to do it (for free!), I immediately said yes. She got some amazing pictures and I got to learn some of her photography tricks. Thank you Brook!
Here’s a sneak peek of [...]

Our Halloween
This Halloween was a lot of fun because #1, I didn’t have to carve our pumpkin and #2 Luke really got it. Luke had so much fun going up to the different houses and saying yelling “trick or treat”. He and I went with Eric and Kenny almost all the way around the block and then [...]

Halloween party
Kenny’s class had their Halloween party today. I’m one of the room moms so Luke and I helped out. We had an hour to dress the kids in their costumes, do a parade through all the different classrooms (since they’ll miss the actual parade this afternoon), do 2 projects and finally eat some yummy treats. [...]

Finding Nemo and the Ghost
Just out in time for Halloween…
Finding Nemo and the Ghost
By Kenny
“Where’s Nemo? ” said Marlin.
Dory said, “Look, that says Sydney.”
Marlin said, “But by the sign has a ghost.”
But the ghost was nice.
The ghost invited them to a party.
Inside were more ghosts.
Now they could find Nemo.

Jack-o-lantern
My dad took on the *fun* job of carving our pumpkin this year.
Here are the guys deciding on their course of action. Kenny wanted the pumpkin to have a nose, a toothy smile, 2 eyebrows and 3 eyes.
Luke wanted his hands washed as soon as he touched the pumpkin guts.
The three guys and the finished product.
Thanks Dad! [...]
