Thanksgiving Cruise

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We did! We went on a cruise for our 10th Anniversary. We had a great time. Bob's parents also came along. It was great to have Bob's mom stay with the boys in the evening so that we could go out. It was like having 5 date nights in a row! Click on the link below to see the photos from our cruise.
Thanksgiving Cruise

We also have some sad news. The day before we were to leave on our cruise, our little chihuahua, Daisy, disappeared. We put up signs and our neighbor also passed out more signs. She was spotted on a street nearby on the day she disappeared, but no one has seen her since. It was a bit sad leaving on our trip not knowing where she was. And even more sad to come home and not have her hear. I put up more signs, but I'm not very hopeful since it's been a week. I just hope she's with a nice family.

Happy Halloween

We had fun going trick-or-treating with a couple of friends. We didn't quite make it the length of our street. The kids were getting tired. Then we hung outside with our neighbors (after I put Alexander to bed) and handed out the rest of our family.

Here are the boys. Just in case you can't tell, Glenn is a fireman and Alexander is a frog. They were so cute!

Glenn had his storybook parade at school today. He was the cat from "If You Give a Cat a Cupcake." He was so cute with his pink nose:


We had his friend over after school today (they had an early dismissal day) for lunch. She was a mouse in the parade, and of course Alexander had to get in the picture, too:


Then we had a couple more friends come over to jump the sugar out in the bounce house. They eventually wore out!

Fall that Wasn't

It has felt like summer this week. It doesn't really feel like fall because it's been about 90 every day this week and humid. It's supposed to be a high in the 70's and a lot of rain. We have only had a quick shower yesterday all month. Even our jack-o-lanterns have suffered. We carved them just two days ago and I went outside this morning and noticed they were already rotten and deflated. Here's what they used to look like:




This morning, I caught a shot of Alexander perusing the Toys R Us ad during breakfast:


We bought the boys a bounce house for Christmas, but there's no way we could wait two months to give it to them. I need it to wear them out. :) So, we gave inflated it today. They absolutely love it. We're going to have a lot of fun.


The slide is fast


Alexander likes to jump off of or slide down the climbing wall
