Hope You Had A Great Thanksgiving ...

We did ...

Jason and his onion chopping goggles ...

Jenna doing her job

Nathan AFTER doing his job ...

This is Nathan's job ... the pumpkin pie!

Jenna and Nathan with our table full of food. YUM!

Nathan ... see his black eye. It happened at school when he had a run in with the slide. I'm not quite sure what happened.

Nathan again.

Jason, Nathan and Jenna. Eating our Thanksgiving dinner.

Jenna eating. She ate so much she was sick.

So that was our Thanksgiving Day and we have so much to be thankful for. After dinner we watched a movie, had a tickle fight, watched another movie and took a little nap and had seconds! I'm just wondering where the maid is ...

GOBBLE GOBBLE

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?

More importantly, are you ready for the day AFTER Thanksgiving?

(I think I might've been in this picture ^) -- I've seen this scene a lot.

The next picture, I want you to take a real close look and see if you recognize this person ...

IT's MONTE!!!!

... really it isn't but it sure looks like him. I think he has that same coat. I have no idea who it is but we could call it a picture of Monte. I think it is his twin.

And the next picture I had found and I thought it was so sweet ...
Nathan was a little over a month old and Jenna was 2. Look at how scrawny his legs were and how curly Jenna's hair was. She was bugging him I'm sure and see his hand already at that age he was thinking he wanted to make her knock it off. Poor kid got tormented from day one. She's the best big sister. (sometimes)

* Amazing moments. I had an awesome amazing moment tonight. My son, whom the school psychologist is trying to get me to medicate, just proved her wrong once again. He has proved her wrong time and time again but today, it was so bittersweet. She said that he can't focus on anything long enough to read a book ... baloney. He read a book, knew the words and all, of a 65 page book ... I'm not talking one of those books with 5 words on each page. It had probably 15-25 words on each page and he read every single page without hardly any mistakes. He wouldn't stop until he read it. He was so proud of himself. I'm so proud of him. So that was an awesome gift ...

Here's a picture of Jenna too ...

* Science fairs. Even though it is a royal pain in the backside ... the girl is learning a lot. The beans are under their lights and kind of growing. Funny thing though, Nathan gets up early this morning and you hear him trying to wake Jenna up. Finally he and Jenna come in and here is this bean sprout (it once was quite tall) bent and half of it gone. Nathan said that he came out and stood by the fire place and the cat had a piece of bean sprout in her mouth. Jenna was about ready to cry. Luckily we did 6 plants instead of just 5 and we need 5 so it worked out okay. Note to anyone out there doing science fair projects ... don't do plants. They are a pain and especially if you have secondary things that disrupt their progress. There is no way to make sure that they all have equal growth opportunities before they are actually to be started in the science fair project. (It'll be a gift when this will be over.)
