Thanksgiving

If there are any of you out there who still keep tabs on us...yes, I am way behind on posting. I'll start with November 2011 and post the rest later.

Check out my precious boy on his way into the gym for his school's Thanksgiving Feast. He was so excited to see Joe & I waiting.

They sang so many songs! Seriously, like 10 or more.

All of the children helped prepare the food they ate. Out of the turkey, green beans, cornbread,pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce, the only thing he touched was the turkey.

Robin with his teacher, Mrs. Breaux. She rocks.

We were a little early for pictures with Santa this year, but it worked out great. No lines, a train ride, and less to do in December! Does it look like this Santa has been hitting the egg nog or maybe is just a little crazy?



Then off to New England for the holiday. We did get to see our "Meuse" family, but all those pics are on my phone. Here we are on the Cape with the "Fiero" family.

Robin & Norah working hard.

Joe, Mom & Donna

Grammy took Robin to see the Muppets and Joe & I got to see Breaking Dawn.

Halloween 2011

I think Robin wore his ninja costume 5 times this year for Halloween. I only donned my Princess Leia 3 times, and I think it was 2 times too many. Anyway...
Robin's Open House at school. Joe was out of town, but I made sure to take pics and videos. Here he is on our walk over to the school.
We made a spiderweb, well, actually, Robin did it all by himself.
His classmate James had the same costume. They got a kick out of that.
Annual pumpkin carving. Wow, he looks so grown up. We cut the top off, scooped the seeds and then decided...
...not to carve it. We did bake pumpkin seeds though.
We had some Halloween decor going this year.
Friday before Halloween we attended "Boo at the Zoo". It was fun, but crowded, and I think we'll save our money next year. Joe was Darth Vader...but this wasn't him. Joe was given a card by real Darth if ever wants to upgrade his costume.
We checked out the Star Wars show and some of the kids thought I was the Princess in the show. So cute.
They set up wooden houses with window holes cut out for the trick-or-treating part.
Halloween night, all ready to go.

Small world, we just happened to know the people who lived at this house. Hope everyone's Halloween was happy and safe. Now, if we could only get tough and throw out the rest of the candy!

Autumn weekend in NOLA

Finally showing an interest in riding his bike on his own.
Love this picture with our house in the background
Concentrating...hey, it's hard to learn how to steer and pedal at the same time.
Then Dad gets home from work and it's playtime in the front yard.
The French Quarter had their annual "Boo Carre". Y'know...the kid stuff...face paint, balloon hats, arts & crafts, trick-or-treating, music, etc.
We were a little late to jump on the Angry Birds bandwagon, but we are in full swing now. Robin loved the mask.
I think the Silver Man was having as much fun as Robin.
They were practicing their Ninja moves.
We also hit a fall festival last weekend. Rockclimbing, bounce housing, games, etc.

Disney World

We joined our friends the Dubnanskys Columbus Day weekend at Walt Disney World.
Robin ready for Disney!
Waiting for the shuttle to Epcot. Someone is very excited. We met the Dubs that night at Epcot since it was open later than the Magic Kingdom. Against my gut intuition, I rode the Mission Space ride with Richard and Trey and was sick all through the next day. Vertigo stinks. The rain started.
Day 2 we hit Hollywood Studios. Yes, more rain. Although we were drenched to our skivvies, everyone still managed to have a good time. How can you not when you're with friends, anyway? The boys missed jedi training because of the rain, but we got to meet Buzz & Woody...
The Claw



Robin asked them, "Where's Perry?" and he meant it. We want Agent P!
We napped and re-grouped and then met up at Downtown Disney for dinner. A quick stop for legos.
I couldn't resist. Each child had an electronic device.
Day 3: Magic Kingdom. Still raining. Look at the face...waiting for Mickey to come out and the park to open.


Michelle with Griffin & Robin
Me with Myles


LOVE this "family" photo. I'd be happy to take Griff home with us. So cute.
Time to go catch that flight back to NOLA.
