Happy Thanksgiving

Who remember these? We still use them every year. It's Mom's turkey platter, veggie bowl and potato masher. We had a great day Uncle Dan's turkey and all my fixins', we make a good team even though Dan had to work I made sure he got lots of leftovers for dinner tonight. Hunter and Aunt Nancy played Wii bowling, Nancy is proud of her win over him. Hunter got her in baseball though. It's time for the food coma.

We had a good anniversary as well, I got a really cute purse a Mickey Mouse Harveys seat belt bag, it's way cute. Thank you Baby!

My morning conversation with Hunter...

Daddy was getting ready to leave for work as he was leaving he told Hunter make sure you help Mommy around the house today. As I walked into the den I noticed Hunter had stated playing his video game. I said, "Whats going to happen when Daddy asks if you helped me today, I'm going to have to tell the truth". He gets up and looks me right in the face and says, "I hope Santa brings me a dictionary for Christmas because I did not understand a word of what you just said". All I could do is laugh, the things that come out of that kids mouth, he is so funny. We call them Hunterisms!
Have a good day!

The week off...

Well today is the first day of vacation. Me and the Kids are off this week, yippee! Today we've been busy putting the first Christmas tree; my Flamingo tree. We'll do the Family tree tomorrow. Yes we have two Christmas trees, why? Well we have so many ornaments that I had to get another tree, that started a couple of years ago. My Flamingo tree is all my flamingo and beachy ornaments that I've collected and been given throughout the years, yes there are so many that I can fill a whole tree. The Family tree is all the ornaments that we had when we were growing up, and all of those have special memories. The kids get a kick out of hearing the stories that go along with each one. We've added some of our family ornaments among the many and have started a few of our own traditions as well. I love the holiday season.

Now not to completely ignore Thanksgiving, we will have some family over for the day. It's also Paul and My 9th wedding anniversary. We plan to go to Big Bear for a long weekend if Paul can get Friday off. It should be fun plus it's going to snow this week up there. I have a lot to be grateful for.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Almost forgot Shrek

Christmas...?!

I braved the ash and smoke to put up some Christmas joy. It was terrible weekend of fires. I pray everyone is safe.

Merry EARLY Christmas!

It's never too early to decorate for Christmas!

I am going to decorate the house this weekend...pictures to follow!

Saturday morning...

I'm sitting here after a long week enjoying the sounds of the weekend at the Elledge house. Daddy and Kimber are making breakfast. I hear an occasional, mommy Kimber is being a goofy goober...yeah that was Daddy doing the "tattling". Hunter is in the den, since he had such a good week he gets to play his game for a bit. Plus, he's not feeling well. Poor thing sounds horrible terrible cough and cold. But he is still smiling and laughing.
This week we had parent teacher conferences. I hate the anticipation of the conferences, you know going to talk to the teacher. Anyway, they turned out great. The kids are doing really well this year. Hunter has won his teacher over big time. She was gushing with how much she enjoys having him in her class. Already the charmer, watch out girls. Kimber's teacher said she is very bright and has potential of being a straight 'A' student. Hmm, she didn't get that from me...lol
Coco is chasing Kitty all over the house, poor Kitty no wonder he wants outside so bad...this house is definitely not a quiet house in the morning.
Breakfast is ready...thanks baby!

Got Nuts?

Today we sold Girl Scout nuts at Wal-Mart. At least it didn't rain on us.

Anyone want any nuts?

Happy Halloween!

We went over to a friends house and the Dad's took the kids out trick-or-treating, while the Moms stayed and passed out the candy. It was a fun night, thanks to Mary and Reuben for the use of their home.

Here is the usual bunch of Ghouls...
