Turkey Day Post #1: Go Big or Go Home

Eric discovered on the Butterball website that a 3 1/2 pound turkey will feed 2 adults and a child with leftovers. How big is our turkey you ask? Just shy of 21 pounds.

We started naming our Turkeys about 3 years ago. Meet Oswaldo. He is not only our supper...he is our friend. Turkey anyone?

This one's for you Grandpa...

This is my handsome Grandpa Halverson. I have only known him through the stories my father has told me but I honor his courage and loyalty.

This is my sweet, handsome, courageous Grandpa Stimpson. I honor you on this special day for your bravery and loyalty to your country. Thank you for your special example...I love you.

Unhappy Blogger

Eric took this picture of me to document the angry blog I just wrote about him and I thought it was funny.

Sleeping Beauties

They look like little angels, but don't let them fool you. They are total buttheads! First they kept me up all night having a slumber party with their 3 1/2 foot culprit (who shall remain nameless) and then played all day long while I got up early and worked ALL day long. THEN they called and asked me what was for dinner. THEN they fell asleep all evening and I actually had to make dinner for the little punks and wake them up to eat. GRRRR! I sound really mad, but I'm really only a little bit mad. How can I when they're so dang cute?

Halloweeners

I'm a bit behind on the Halloween post, but better late than never! This year PJ decided he wanted to be scary for the first time. So super dad delivered again! Eric stayed up super late Tuesday night getting PJ's costume perfected. I wish I had a close up picture of his super scary makeup. He looked just like Dracula down to the teeth marks on his neck!

Saving daylight

I LOVE daylight savings in the fall. Especially when I forget and then am reminded that I get an extra hour of sleep. Woo hoo! I haven't changed any of the clocks yet because I love looking at them and knowing it's one hour earlier. It's like a trick I'm playing on everyone! Awesome.
I got really sick last night with a nasty fever and was up most of the night with chills. I've just been lounging most of the day and with the help of some little orange pills I have been ok today. Unfortunately I think Eric might be sick now too. I'm not nearly as righteous as Kristy, though. I didn't think twice about sleeping through church and I haven't been taking care of sick kids!

WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!

I'm a little behind in my updates, but yes, the Boston Red Sox WON THE WORLD SERIES! The Sox swept the Rockies in 4 games. Tight! I wish I had pictures of the celebration at our house, but at least I can share some of the pictures from the celebration. Sadly, no more baseball until April.
