Jonah's Joke

Here's a joke that Jonah picked up at school. I thought it was so cute, mainly because he cracks himself up!

Why did the chickens cross the playground?
To get to the other SLIDE!

Followed by a series of Chicken jokes that make no sense, gotta love this age!

Snippits of Life

Here are a few random things going on right now;
  • I'm staining cabinets and painting walls in our master bath. Can't wait til it's done!
  • On colder mornings I ride the exercise bike inside. Sam loves to snuggle in a blanket and lay on the floor so he can feel the air on his face that comes from the bike.
  • The boys are getting into Star Wars and love to play with "life savors" and talk about "Dark Vader".
  • The kids are not in school today, we had a little ice last night. Good day to make treats maybe?
  • The neighborhood cat has been sleeping in our house the last few nights. It's just too pitiful to see her outside and cold. We are total softies! Our dog is so old he can't see or hear her. He can smell her though and knows she's there, he doesn't like it but she moves too fast for him to catch.
  • I went to see Twilight with some friends on Friday night after a really fun cookie exchange and ornament party.
  • Jonah has eaten toast with peanut butter on it for breakfast for the last month and a half.
  • I can't believe Christmas is next week. I'm excited to wrap presents and get everything ready!

Guess How Much!

I found a new thrift store! They have lots of housewares and furniture which is what I need. The other thrift stores are heavy on the clothing and book side. Guess how much I paid for all of this. $7.84!!!! What a steal! I know exactly where the two big frames will go and what will go in them(some awesome pics Alan took). The leafy candle holder will go right above my bathtub. The smaller candle holder will be by the bathtub as well. The DVD is a stocking stuffer(don't tell the boys!). The oval frames I have no idea, but they were just cool! I hope it's not expensive to cut glass into ovals. I guess I'll find out. I love good deals!!!

The Thanksgiving Turkey

Here is my Dad carving the Turkey. The boys were really paying attention to this activity this year, especially Jonah. Jonah has been fascinated by what is inside our bodies, or animals bodies. So here he is getting an anatomy lesson.
We had a really relaxing Thanksgiving this year.
