thursdays thoughts

dear weather man,
it is FREEZING! i watch you every night hoping that you will tell me that tomorrow will be better but it hasn't happened yet. i am seriously rethinking our relationship. i know what you are going to say, "i can't control the weather" but someone has to be blamed and i choose you. if there are not some changes soon i will come to the station and choke you with your tie.
love, pam

dear gall bladder,
i HATE you! i know you may think that i am being harsh but you are making my life miserable. i cant eat anything and i am pretty much starving to death. ok maybe not to death but i am hungry! i really don't need you so i am going to find someone to cut you out. then you will be out of my life forever.
love, pam

dear new red coat,
thanks for being so stinkin cute and keeping me warm. i want you to know that i don't really like coats they make me feel like i can't breath but you... i LOVE! i apologize right up front for the cheetos and boogers you may get on you. i will try to keep the little people at bay but i can't promise anything.
love, pam

dear lady at the kindergarten drop off,
i realize that you may think you are the only person in line to drop your little people off... but your not. do you not see the 50 million cars waiting behind you? we are not there just for kicks. when it says NO PARKING they are not kidding. they really don't want you parking and getting out of your car. drop off means just that, drop them off.
love, pam
p.s. i do think you have cute hair though:)

dear preston,
thanks for always going out in the mornings and shoveling the walks and starting my car. it is so sweet of you to take such good care of me. your a really good boy and i love you:)
love, mom

dear diet coke,
have you forgotten about me? i haven't forgotten about you. i just have to take a little break until the above said gall bladder gets yanked. please know that i think about you often and don't worry your cute little self about being replaced it will never happen:O)
love, pam

thanksgiving 2009

We always get to start thanksgiving out a little early. The Brown's get together the Sunday before thanksgiving which works out nice because then you don't have to alternate houses:)

We have a big group and it was really busy so not lots of pic's but it was lots of fun to hang out together!

Ella learned the olive on the finger trick this year and pretty much that is ALL she had for dinner. I am the BEST mom ever!! I also noticed in this photo that you can see she is following in Mckena's footsteps by using rubber bands as bracelets. Cute!

On REAL Thanksgiving we went to my moms house. We fed about 40 people the best food you can imagine and laughed until we were sick. Josh and I actually got a photo together. I know a rarity!

This is our ghetto living room. We had to move the furniture outside to make room for all the tables. We thought it would be funny to pose for a photo so we took our diet coke and newspapers out to the ghetto living room. We didn't last long since it was freezing but it was funny!

After dinner the ad's came out and planning started. I met Josh's sisters at 6 and we map out our black Friday shopping. Since some of the stores opened at midnight we headed out about 10:30pm. We shopped all night and most of the next day. Got some great deals and had loads of fun! Thanks Jo and Manda:)

NOVEMBER....

The month of November was a fun one!

Here are a few of the most memorable activities...

Preston got his Arrow of Light Award for scouts!!

Preston had actually earned it awhile ago but due to the pig flu it was postponed until now.

Such a cute kid with his headdress on:)

As soon as we were done celebrating with Preston I turned into a 12 year old and met up with my sister and niece and went to New Moon. We had some YUMMY mexican food and headed to the midnight showing. The whole evening was fun! Thanks Lori and Tiff:)

Last but not least the kids ran in the TURKEY TROT again this year.

Even though we had no winners this year FUN was had by all!

I really think next year they should make them gobble and wobble like turkeys!!!
