Oh Christmas Tree!

Thanksgiving Slideshow

Ok, some of you may not think this is cute...if you don't, sorry b/c I think it's just adorable and totally blog-worthy in my book. The picture below was just taken. Camron (aka the Lone Ranger) had just gotten up from his nap and needed to poop. While he was pooping, he looks at Caden (aka Tonto) and says "Tonto, da Lone Ranger poop in da potty?" and Caden responds "uh-huh, da Lone Ranger poop BIIIG poop in da potty" and he goes over to take a look. They continued this conversation about poop so of course I grabbed my camera and snapped a shot!

Am I crazy? Hmmm, YEP!

So today is black Friday, heh? I have NEVER gotten up and been the first one in any of the stores. I have gotten up and gone early but not as early as today! Holly, her adorable Grandma and myself did it today! We somehow opened up Kohl's at 4, Dick's at 5 (they opened a few minutes early), Old Navy at 5, and Target at 6! I was up at the CRACK OF DAWN.....actually WAY before dawn showed any of it's CRACK (hee hee) and then we decided to stop off and open Goodwill at 9! I got some FABULOUS deals that I cannot even share b/c they are surprises to all and now I am going to eat at the good 'ole Longhorn with Mom and the boys for lunch. Yes I took a short nap in between!
I will post Thanksgiving pictures later!

Here are our Indians and Pilgrims! The older kids were Indians because they are the "helpers" (when they want to be) and the younger kids were Pilgrims because they were the ones needing the help. Oh wait, I guess I should be a Pilgrim then, huh?!?! We had a nice little feast of [deli] turkey and cheese roll ups, corn on the cob, mac and cheese, and rolls. We finished it off with yummy chocolate cupcakes. Here is an acrostic poem written by Jaxon:
Thank you for
Happy faces and happy things
Apples to eat
Nests for birds
Kisses from Mommy and Daddy
Snakes that are nice, kind, and smiley
God who loves us
Ice cream treats
Very good friends
Interesting things
Nice tv shows
Great family
We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends! Remember ALL the things you have to be thankful for...no matter how big or small!

MOPS night out

We had our monthly MOPS night out tonight. It was game night at Julia's. Here is a picture we took at the end of the night. Kim, Rebecca and Shannon had already left so they are not in the picture! We had lots of fun and lots of yummy snacks!

The boys have passed a nice little cough back and forth over the past few days. It started with Camron, moved on to Jaxon, and now Caden has it. It caused a slight fever in Camron and Jaxon at night time but nothing major. Caden has always been one to run high fevers but it's always unsettling when it happens. Yesterday, he woke up from a late nap with a fever of 103! I gave him Motrin and lots of cuddles but the fever didn't go down much. At bed time, I hated to put him in his bed until I was able to give him another dose of meds. The picture below is all the boys fast asleep in my bed (don't you just love my purple snowman sheets...Target of course!) They stayed here all snuggled up to each other until around 11:30 when I gave Caden more medicine and felt better about putting him in his bed! Not to mention I was just about asleep on my feet and wanted my bed back!
