Thanksgiving

Rich and I hosted our first Thanksgiving with the Pankows. We had so much fun. Here are lots of pictures. Not much commentary, sorry, I am ready to get home.

We did not have enough room for each baby to have a separate room. So I turned our side porch into Rawlings room. I had to put up black paper so he would have a little privacy. But the room looked so sad. So I went and got some of William's art work that I had saved and then cut out his initials. I think it turned out cute.

Because Thanksgiving is a great time to do much need house repair!

This was how I did the place setting. Each person had a turkey with six feathers. Each person had to write something about that person they were thankful for. We read them while we ate our lunch. Some people were more eloquent than others. Below is them all finished.

Halloween

Pumpkin Patch

Back in October we meet our group of friends at a pumpkin patch and had the best time with the kids. It could not have been a more beautiful day. The kids had such much fun. Are they not all just beautiful??? I did not have one picture of Mary Dudley not staring at Les. I don't blame her, he is adorable.

Where is my son????

I told you I was behind...but I have to post this. I picked up William from school one day. It took me a minute to realize that it was my child running up to me screaming "Mommy". He had obviously had an accident but did they have to put him in aqua tights???

George's Birthday

I am so behind but I don't want to just skip over the last three months. So I am going to just post a lot of pictures.

I do have to say I cannot believe my little boy is one (September 15). He is so much fun. Full of personality and talking, already!!!! Well repeating a lot but almost everything you say. He has a little spunk to him. LOVES his DADDY, which is bitter sweet. But I love it for Rich.

We have such sweet friends that always support us. Thank you.

George's birthday was so much fun. Aunt Kack was even able to join us, although the only picture I have of her is from the back. She was taking most of the pictures. I got these huge ballons for the party. It was so cute and then it started raining. O well.

George: Touch Down on the cake!!!!

Know You're a Mommy.....

...when you are cleaning out your purse and this is what you find!

Halloween Treats

I just love fall. The leaves changing, getting cooler, chili and hot chocolate or hot punch, football...I could go on.

You might remember last Halloween I made little ghost and witch's hat treats for Williams school. I got them posted too late for anyone to make. So I thought I would just re-post to remind you. I will be making them soon...or maybe something else this year, I haven't decided.

It is so easy. To make the ghost, get Nutter Butter cookies, dip in white chocolate and put two black dots, with icing, for eyes.


To make the witches hats, get Fudge Strips cookies, turn so complete chocolate side is face up, take a Hersey kiss and put a little chocolate icing on bottom, then stick on the middle of cookie. Then make a ring of orange icing around kiss and then a bow.

I still need to post George's birthday party. Coming soon.
