PIZZA & CUPCAKES!!!

Okay, so I know I am WAY behind in blogging, and I wanted to catch up with my old post before putting up any current ones, but this just couldn't wait! Yesterday, Thurston and Charleston had Ella, Jordan, and Keller over to make Pizza and cupcakes - Yum! Everyone did so good with their little part of the process and the end results were SO Yummy!!! There were A Lot of chefs in the kitchen, but everyone did very well taking turns. And boy did those boys have some energy to run off! Wow! It was borderline overwhelming, but in the end so much fun and well worth any fuss! And our dear little Ella was just so excited to have four little princes cook for her! Any girls dream! ;) We'll definitely be doing this again - Thurston and Charleston have a lot of other friends they'd love to cook with, too!
(sorry for all the pictures- I couldn't choose!)

Thanksgiving

Holidays at our house are crazy, to say the least! LOTS of Driving! Nearly all of our family is either local, or relatively so (drivable), and of course we feel like if we spend it with one, we've got to spend it with them all. So most holidays involve me being up all night the night before to prepare, then us briefly having time together as a family at our house in the morning, then off to Tennessee to visit most all of my family at my 87 yr old granmother's (Mamaw) house, then back here to see all of Marc's family... all over the northern metro! BUSY! But as stressful and choatic as it is, I try to remember how lucky we are to have everyone so close to us. We always look back and laugh at the chaos and are thankful to have spent a little of bit of time with everyone on these special occassions.

Halloween....Where have we Been?!?!?!

Okay, I get the title for 'World's Worst Blogger'.... it's been 3 months since our last entry. I'm Busy People! Anyhow, Halloween was SO much fun this past year! I had made Charleston's costume, and not to brag, but I'm pretty darn proud of how it turned out... and it turned heads! He was the colorful little parrot side-kick to his pirate big brother! We trick-or-treated over in John's Creek at St. Marlo CC. We have some family who live in there who had mentioned there Halloween's were fairly extravagant.... fairly extravagant was an understatement! It's a golf community where nearly everyone owns their own golf carts and they decorate them all and drive them around to trick-or-treat. Those who didn't decorate their golf carts, got trailers and decorated them like parade floats and pulled them behind their decorated cars. And the treats? Amazing! Home made cupcakes, cakes, cookies, full sized candy bars and juices boxes and bottled water. People were throwing parties and having trick-or-treaters come into their haunted foyers with the scary music, fog machines, and strobe lights. There were champagne fountains, fondue, and even a haunted house... in someone's house! It was amazing, and SO much fun! I wish I had gotten better pictures of it all, but we were pretty busy having fun!!!

Berrypatch Farms

So Roxanne, Lisa and I ventured out to take the boys to a pumpkin patch/farm near where we live today, only to find them closed. Not to have gotten out in vain, we stayed and played with all the farm animals and on the swing set for a while, while our children turned in to little models. They had so much fun running around together, and we got some really cute pictures out of it, too. All in a days work! ;)

Football Season Begins!!!

We're getting back in the spirit for another season of UGA Football! We made a little pilgrimage back to Athens this past weekend for the first game. It was so good to be back! I loved living there and miss it terribly! The boys stayed and played with Grandma and Grandpa, but we made sure they were in proper attire before we left. Here's a picture of our little Red & Black family, game day.
