Turkey Day

This is what a Thanksgiving meal can do to a toddler.....

Doughnut Stealer

Zach has a new name...doughnut stealer! The other morning Boo was having doughnuts for breakfast and when she put them down to go use the bathroom, Zach ran over to her plate and took the doughnuts. I didn't notice him at first, but then when he was to quite, I called out to him and he came out of 'hiding' and just grinned from ear to ear. He was too cute:)

Space Shuttle

Ok, so this entry is not related to the kids...but it is pretty cool!

A couple weeks ago I took my annual girls trip to Super Soap Weekend in Orlando, FL. For those of you that don't know what that is...ABC Soaps (AMC, OLTL, GH) bring 30 actors/actresses to the Hollywood Studios to do a big fan event. This was the 5th (and final year b/c they are cancelling it) that Marie, Cathy and I went. We have SO much fun and get to meet all the cute guys from the soaps...ok, so back to the space shuttle. When we were in Orlando, the Space Shuttle launched. At the time we had just finished eating dinner over at Universal Citywalk, and we were able to SEE the launch!!!! It was by far, one of the coolest things from that weekend! Here is a picture of the space shuttle....if you look at the orange triangle shape b/w the trees...that is it. I wish that the picture had come out better, but in person it was awesome. Even being so far away from the launch site, we could still see it. We were even able to tell when the boosters were seperated from the shuttle.

I will spare everyone pictures from SSW...even thought they are fantastic:) hahahah

Home Depot with Meme and Dub

Meme and Dub took Mackenzie and Thomas to a workshop at Home Depot the first of November. The project this time was a leaf press. I tagged along to make sure someone took a picture of this:) It was quite funny to watch Meme and Mackenzie 'race' against Dub and Thomas. I will say that even though Dub and Thomas started first, it was the girls that won!!!! The best part of these little workshops, aside from spending quality time with Meme and Dub, is Thomas and Mackenzie both received a pin and a certificate for doing the project...and their very own Home Depot orange apron:)

Happy Halloween!

This year, Mackenzie was a Posh Puppy (from her favorite story books Fancy Nancy) and Zach was a penguin. Aunt Cathy, Uncle Kyle, Auntie Marie, Mommy and Daddy all took turns taking the kids around trick or treating. By the end of the night, Mackenzie could not carry her treats any longer because her pumpkin was to heavy, and Zach, well, he would have kept going all night if we let him. He did such an awesome job going door to door with Mackenzie. He would take 1 piece of candy at each door, RUN back to the wagon, through his candy down and take off running to the next house! I'm sure next year will be even more fun:)

School Parade

Mackenzie's school had a Halloween Parade where all the kids, and teachers dressed up and did a big parade for all the parents! Mackenzie was so excited to show all her friends her Posh Puppy costume! Here are a couple pictures from that day...

Pumpkin Carving

Back in October, Boo and Zach had a blast carving a pumpkin with Daddy, Uncle Charlie and Auntie Marie! I wasn't sure how they would do, but they each like taking the guts out:) Mackenzie I think had more fun putting the guts back in though:) After they finally got the pumpkin all nice and clean, Daddy carved a picture of Cinderella in it!

What a funny guy!

Zach decided that he needed to read up on what Santa should bring him....to funny:)

Finally, an update:)

Months ago, I took Zach for his 1st haircut and soon found out that he was not going to like it! As soon as the lady put the cape on him, he lost it. I tried everything to get him to stop crying...even giving him a lollipop. Finally, I gave up on the hopes that he would sit still and be quiet, and just let the lady finish cutting his hair. I must say he looks very handsome with his new do:)
