We want to wish all of you, the important people in our lives, a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
Traditionally, on this day we try to remember all the things in our lives that we are thankful for. Why do we wait for just this one day?? I wish we would say more often what we cherish in our lives. Our family is thankful for many, many things. I wish I could name ALL that we are thankful for this year! In this troubled time in our nation, I feel blessed to have so much to be thankful for. Although our blessing are too numerous to name, here are a few.
We are thankful for:
1. God
2. Each other and the happiness that we each bring to our home
2. Our family that is so sweet, loyal, and giving
3. Our friends that are always there for us to talk to (mostly about our family) he, he!
4. Our jobs that we enjoy going to each day
5. Our comfy house full of love and good things to eat!
6. Cohen says he is thankful for his friends at Grandmas, his sweet brother, and his bathtub (okay so I guess he changed his mind about not taking a bath :) YEA!)
7. Evan is thankful for his Pooh blanket, his bottle, and the rocking chair (we think)
And...the Internet of course so we can keep in touch with all of you through our blog!!!
HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!! Gobble, Gobble!

Nothing new here...
Nothing exciting happening around the house these last few days. Plain ol' boring normal life stuff........
Evan has a little cold. He doesn't seem to feel too bad except he can't breath and keeps sneezing. He is still laughing and smiling though!
Evan LOVES to be warm and cozy will sleeping. He will not sleep otherwise. We put him in his beloved footed pj's, zip him up in a "bag", and have to put a fleece blanket on his bed. "The books" say not to use blankets so we tuck it ever so tightly around the edge so it doesn't slip out. The no blanket thing is hard because the kid has to put a blanket over his face to fall asleep. When he is good and asleep, we tip-toe in and remove the blanket and try not to wake him. Did I mention that the boy is SPOILED!!!P.S.--- I am on the lookout for fleece crib sheets so if anyone knows of any, let me know!! Oh yeah, I guess we need bigger "bags" too. His little feet have reached the end and he can't stretch out because he is getting so tall!!
Cohen and I have a dentist appointment today and then we are going to head to lunch with the sis. And probably Dr. Single (I think Cohen has his first crush. At least he has good taste! Educated and pretty!)
Cohen has made up a new game. "Match" He tells you the pictures and you draw a line to match the pictures..in the air. I guess a better name would be "Air Match." I can't see the pictures and always match them up wrong. He get so frustrated and Jeremy just laughs and wonders how someone can get "air match" wrong. I don't want to play anymore!!!
No school this week so I am home all day with the kiddos! ALL. DAY!!!
We are excited about Thanksgiving and ready to pig out on some turkey.
That all folks! Cohen has informed me he needs to check his email so he needs the laptop. Tootles!

How old is this kid........
A few funnies to share:
Cohen brings me my cell phone today and says he wants to give daddy a message. I dial Jeremy's number and give Cohen the phone as it rings. He tells me, "No hang up! I don't want to call him, I want to send him a text message." Since when did 4 year olds know how to text someone??
We were driving down the road listening to the radio......my song for a change and a good one comes on. Cohen says from the back seat "Yea, this song ROCKS turn it up!"

Turkeys Making Turkeys
The best part was eating them! YUMMY!!!
We made turkeys out of oreos, whoppers, M&M's,candy corn and icing. Cohen and Jeremy kept eating all the oreos before we could get them done. The funniest part was after Cohen ate one he told me, " I ate the whole thing. I even ate the coconut." We didn't use any coconut so I was a little confused. He said the coconut was the brown thing with the milk in the middle--the whopper! We had a fun time and the turkeys were yummy!
Evan after eating squash!
Evan just finished eating dinner. Cohen is giving him a little after dinner entertainment. He always thinks Cohen is so funny!
Cohen's latest decision
I was already thinking that maybe Cohen was going to be a vegetarian because he has never eaten meat...even as a baby. He has never liked it and now he will tell you..."I don't eat meat." Well... things are beginning to become even more clear. The other day he told me he didn't want any eggs. I reminded him that he likes eggs. He said "yes, I do like eggs, but people shouldn't eat baby birds." Ok, so he's an animal lover, so what?
Tonight.......he told me he did not want to take a bath. I said he needed to and he said, "well, mama, baths are not really for me. I am not going to take them anymore" What??? I told him he would get stinky and he said "it's ok, my friends won't mind." So, we are already prepared for the day he comes home and tells us he has joined PETA, grown dreadlocks, smelly from "living off the earth", and taking vitamin supplement for protein deficiency!
I told you he was a free spirit!
