Thanksgiving 2008

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had. Terry was able to come home for the holiday (only for 48 hours, but hey we will take it). My sister and her family were in town too so it was a great family weekend. It was a great time eating and catching up with everyone and laughing at Kendall. She was in rare form and quite crazy.


What would Thanksgiving be without a little football....

Are you kidding me???

I'm sorry I though it was only mid November and that I lived in FLORIDA!

Beep Beep

I don't like to cook. Plain and simple. I would love it if we could eat out everyday and Kendall would act civilized in a restaurant.......but unfortunately neither of those two things are in my near future....so I do the next best thing-I cook just about everything in the microwave-which has been named "Beep Beep" by Kendall. The Beep Beep is quick and easy with minimal mess. Pretty much everything is made in the microwave which right there alone tells you what a nutrition/health nut I am. Good thing I still have a good metabolism. HAHAHA. (In my defense you can make some great veggies in the microwave) I'm especially bad about it when Terry is out of town and it is just me and Kendall. I guess I'm spoiled because when he is in town he cooks:)

I never knew how bad my microwave addition was till one night we were out playing with our friend Will next door and I told Kendall we needed to go inside and fix dinner. She quickly responded "Mommy cook in the Beep Beep" I quickly laughed it off as her just being silly. Later that evening Kendall was playing with her play kitchen and was messing around with the play Beep Beep. Putting bowls in, pushing the buttons, taking them back out, etc. I asked her what she was doing and she happily replied that she was, "Being like mommy and cooking in the Beep Beep."

Halloween 2008

We had quite an interesting Halloween. First Terry flew out Thursday afternoon for a few weeks for work and the Friday morning Kendall woke up crying (something she never does). She was whiny when I dropped her off and I told them to just give me a call if things get worse....well I got the call around 11 that she was just inconsolable and crying as if she were in pain. I was pretty sure by then she either had a UTI or bladder infection. I called and got an appointment for that afternoon. The tests came back inconclusive so they were going to do a culture overnight and would call me Saturday with the results (which were positive).

By the time we got home Kendall really wasn't in the trick-or-treating mood. My parents had already planned to came over to spend the evening with us. Kendall wanted no part of putting the costume on at first, I almost had to force her to put it on. Once she had it on she was a little better but still not really excited about trick-or-treating. We went up and down our street, but Kendall was more interested in seeing all the pumpkins and making sure there were no cars in the raod than getting any candy. By 9 she was done and went to bed. Pretty uneventful, but she made a really cute Minnie Mouse:)
