Well, I'm hoping that Fridays from here on out will be my weekly day to blog. I say that with all good intentions, and the expectation that it probably will not happen. But one can hope!
I'm so behind on posting that I'm going to lump Halloween and Thanksgiving into one giant post. I've literally got 565 pictures from October and November that I had to sort through, so I'm just picking my favorite ones and posting them here. Lets begin, because really, this will take awhile.
Halloween 2012:
The boys wanted to be firemen, and they wanted Mason to be their fire dog. Costco had some amazing firemen costumes, and we found a cute dalmation for Mace online, so check and check again. We had a blast Halloween morning going to storytime, with the boys in their costumes, and then made a visit to daddy and papa's work to show off their costumes some more. After naptime, it was back into the costumes, this time with full make-up, and then off to trick-or-treat. Quote of the night.... Miles V: "Mommy, I want to trick-or-treat at ALL the houses." And, we pretty much did!!!

Tucson Trip:
In between Halloween and Thanksgiving, we squeezed in a trip to visit our family in Tucson. Unfortunately we were all battling croup, so between the boys coughing, me losing my voice for the entire trip, and my Miles battling a fever on the drive down, I would say it was still a really successful visit. Our nephew, James, is just three months younger than Max, and this was the first time all three boys (not including Mason), really played together. It was fun to watch and the kiddos keep asking when we will be going back to Aunt Amber and Uncle Charlie's house~! Here are a few pics from the visit.

Thanksgiving:
My in-laws hosted Thanksgiving this year, and we had a wonderful day. The boys were great, we got to see some old friends, eat some awesome food, watch some football, look though some shopping ads, and of course play a few rousing rounds of Catch Phrase!
Before pictures, I want to say something. I volunteered to make some appetizers and desserts. I asked my husband what he would like, and he suggested jalapeno poppers. Ok, sounded like a plan. I found a great, delicious recipe on pinterest. Wednesday night, I stripped all the seeds and ribs out, started stuffing them, and then realized that my left hand literally felt like it was on fire. I mean pain like I've never experienced in my life before. I googled solutions ,and I tried everything from soaking my hand in a bowl of sour cream, to vinegar to rubbing alcohol to lemon juice. Nothing worked. Running it under cold water stopped the burning, but as soon as I turned the water of the pain was back. I ended up sleeping with my hand in a bowl of ice water, and that worked after a few hours. WARNING, if you make jalapeno poppers, WEAR GLOVES!!!! Oye vey!
