Happy Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP. THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT

TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION. SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.

I GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES, PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES. I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND, 'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.

I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES.... HAPPY EATING TO ALL; PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP. MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP, MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS, MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE, MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.

HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!

Randomness

These are just a bunch of random pictures I have taken in that last few days. Somethings are just too cute to miss! Daniel is on the floor with Abby and Bailey. Abby is actually sitting on Bailey. Can you tell that Bailey is bothered he he.

We went and had dinner and my brothers house a few weekends ago. The girls ended up in diapers and played the whole time.

Pretty Princesses

Abby loves to help out with house hold chores!

I hope you have a great day. I have some more pictures to share, but I better get to bed!

Any Ideas?

I am a goober. I messed up my last blog.
My daughter is 11 months old, yesterday!! I have a month to plan a first birthday on a tight budget. Do you have any ideas? What are some things you guys did on your babies 1st birthday...besides cry. I can't believe its been a year ( and I am still carrying the baby weight)!

OMG(gosh)!

Everyday I interact with technology in some way. It seems to be spreading faster than I can comprehend it. Don't get me wrong, a lot of it is fun and very useful. However, there is one piece of technology that scares me. I think its called a "kindle." You can down load books into this thin rectangular device. Oprah had it on a show of hers. It is very cool, and would eliminate back problems for those book toting students. I am just afraid my kids will miss out on the feel of buying a new book from the store. Opening it up and hearing the crinkle of the spine as they are about to read it. The smell of old library books. The satisfying sound of closing a book after they have finished. Have you ever seen "You've Got Mail?" and Meg Ryan has a boyfriend who only used type writers because he does not like the computer? That's how I feel about this device. I know it has great qualities. I just hope the old fashion book doesn't go out of style.

Blah

I am so tired. I am tired physically, and emotionally. I feel like there are so many things to do and keep up with and there is not enough time to do it all. There are things happening in my life that pull me down and it has been so hard to see the silver lining. My husband has been pulling me along; making me laugh and showing me the bright side. I want to be a strong, woman who can be the rock for her husband, and who never complains. But that has not been me. Sometimes I feel like I have failed as a wife and mother. I am just sending this out into cyber space. I just need to get it out and vent. Too bad chocolate is not a cure all! :)

Abby's First Halloween

This was Abby's first Halloween! Isn't she a beautiful Princess? Her Grandma Brown bought it for her. She was such a trooper the whole night. Of course we needed to Trick or Treat the family. She was up late, but handled herself like a real Princess. I was hoping that she would sleep in the next morning....but I was wrong!
