Happy Turkey Day!

Aunt Pip sent this to us and it is so funny that I decided to copy it and post it here! Enjoy!

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.
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!!

Monday at school, we did a craft that involved the girls writing down what they are thankful for on construction paper feathers and then making an indian headband. This is a list of what the girls were thankful for : snacks, popcorn, leaf piles, mommy and daddy!! Love that list!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! All our love!!!

Happy Halloween!

Here are some pics of our recent halloween adventures! The girls were Ariel, the little mermaid and Mike and I were the mermaid mommy and daddy! I have to get some more pics from Gram and Aunt Jenny's cameras. We have enough candy here to last until next halloween! I don't have pics from our party at family circle yet. But we did about 5 halloween events over the last week!! Go big or go home!!

This is the Halloween event at Evesham's rec center. Olivia was not really into it until she got a soft pretzel! They had a few games set up for the kids, candy stations, and decorating pumpkins. It was cute enough, the girls liked it.

This is the SJMoMs Halloween parade at Freedom Park. It was a really cute event! The girls had a blast with all their friends. They had a costume parade and then went trick or treating to all the moms!!

Here we are at Fright Fest at Great Adventure. We love going to GA in the fall because everyone goes to see all the scary halloween stuff and the kid's areas are always empty! The girls had the run of all the rides and play areas! And we stayed late - 8 PM!!!
