The kids had an awesome time on our vacation in New Hampshire... we planned to go to Santa's Village but it was raining so we went to "Fun Spot" instead. The kids had a great time.

Did they have to say "Ocean"?
Man, my previous post... the poll about what color blue are you... has me totally craving a day at the beach... a do nothing, no schedule, no running around day... just relaxing and building sand castles with kids, kicking back and soaking in the sun...
Norma, how many days til we meet at the beach again?
*sigh*

What Color Blue Are You?
You are Ocean Blue |
You're both warm and practical. You're very driven, but you're also very well rounded. You tend to see both sides to every issue, and people consider you a natural diplomat. |
What Kind of Ornament Are You?
You Are a Tree |
You love every part of the holidays, down to the candy canes and stockings. And you're goofy enough to put a Christmas tree ornament on your tree! |

Gingerbread House Fun
We built a gingerbread house yesterday and today... the kids had a blast... you'll notice the black trash barrels Eddie wanted to put in front of the house... we have a driveway in the back of the house... of course, they wanted to eat the candy instead of put it on the house but it all worked out in the end! Enjoy!
Kevin's Very First Official School Project
Kevin made this project at OT the other day. He's been going to therapy 4x a week and he's doing so well, we are putting him in preschool starting in January. Don't worry, Ryan will be starting soon after... as soon as a spot opens up... they will be in different classes though. We love the school and look forward to them having lots of fun and making many new friends!

For those of you who don't know...
Eddie has declared himself "a little bit Jewish"...
So does that mean we celebrate a few days of Hannakuh?

Cheers to you Paige!
Well, I am embarrassed to say it but I've never set foot in a Mary Lou's News prior to today... I had a few moments to myself and wanted to have a little something relaxing so I headed to the nearest MLN's and got an iced vanilla chai... Paige, I thought of you! I thought I saw your twin while I was there... the girl behind the counter looked just like you and I had to do a double take! At any rate, the drink was really yummy and I'm sure I'll be a return customer! Have a good day!
Say Cheese Part 2
Some of you know I have been trying to get a a nice portrait done of the three boys for a while but... someone... KEVIN... has not been a willing participant! A few weeks ago, by total accident, I noticed that one of the local BJ's was taking appointment for a traveling photography studio. The price was pretty reasonable and they had the old fashioned clothes so I went for it... wasn't sure how the actual sitting was going to go because everyone was up a bit too late the night before and a bit short on sleep but I was SO pleased with the way they came out... ENJOY!

I will be absent on Friday
Say a prayer for me... on Friday I am having surgery... just a minor day surgery... I have off work Friday night and am not working the weekend so I can rest up... thanks everyone!
Party Time...
Would you like a ferris wheel in your backyard?
As most of you know, I work for a catalog company taking orders over the phone. I had a very pleasant conversation with a customer tonight. Sometimes you get a good customer... someone with whom you can joke around and have fun... which is way better than people screaming in your ear over $.53 of tax or hanging up on you, etc. My customer tonight was from Texas and he was telling me how he was crying in his yard because it was SO cold... that he has a built in pool but can't swim in it since it was TOO cold... he said he couldn't afford to heat it... and since he was worried about the total of his order, didn't look like he was going to get a heater any time soon... Mr. Texas went on to tell me that his backyard was quite lovely... he loved his backyard and he had great neighbors too... but he's always trying to think of what could make it even BETTER and all he can come up with is getting an 8 car ferris wheel... I mean, isn't that obvious? Doesn't EVERYONE want a ferris wheel in their backyard? Well, I told him that if he couldn't afford to heat his pool, he probably wouldn't be able to get the ferris wheel...
My Latest Projects
Say Cheese!
So I was trying to think of a creative way to take a picture of all 3 boys without going through tons of pics and lots of tears... so I was telling them we had to get dressed really really quickly! Well, they fell for it... I was gonna try for a Christmas card picture and even though they are all smiling and look great, well, you know, the pajamas don't even remotely match OR coordinate... plus I am waiting to get some portraits back on Thursday (I can't wait) and I'm hoping to use those for my cards... in the meantime, however, I'd like to share my picture here... enjoy!
