happy turkey day!!!!

i am keeping this short and sweet
happy turkey day more pictures to follow in the next few days
hope everyone had a wonderful relaxing day!!!

there is a chill in the air......

the turkeys are running, reindeer are hiding and yes if you are really really quiet you may actually hear sleigh bells!
yup it is almost that time of year......and yes sadie is going through every toy catalog that comes in the mail telling us what she wants....let me just say it would be better to ask her if she does not want something...sort of like...would you like a cereal with your sugar concept
in the meantime we are playing outside as much as possible
which of course requires layers and boxes of tissues (since we have the never ending running nose at the moment)
currently our favorite activity is crunching leaves and chasing after the leaves as they fall from the tree
sadie has picked up some interesting phrases (we think from school...since aaron and i never ever swear or go to church)
1. to bubby "damn you are a hot mess"
2. "when i go to church i get my groove on"
silas is talking a mile a minute most of what he says is sleep, sadie, noo noo, eat, daddy, babe, meow meow and whats that.....but he is very clear about what he wants when he wants it....and he has gotten rather good at the fake crying
so for now that is all....we play, eat, sleep when it is possible

----- NEWSFLASH ------
it is possible and it will be happening in the year 2010
DATE NIGHT
yes you heard it here first aaron and i will be going on an x-mas shopping date night for the first time this year which is great b/c the year is almost over!!!

hope everyone is doing well
and i do say please feel free to leave us comments....sadie and silas both would love to know who is reading and what they are thinking

the days of crazies and sugar!

yup the days up to halloween all the talk was CANDY!!!
i want candy corn, i want a lollipop, i want a cookie
there are a lot of "i wants" and "mine" going on in the cleveland house.....so how are we dealing with this
headphones and earplugs!
you think these were invented to prevent noise from disturbing others...oh no...it is to prevent noise from disturbing you.
there was some trick or treating done at the house...the kidlets walked down our street but not everyone was feeling real well so it was short and brief but in that time
silas totally had it all figured out
i have to wonder if "trick or treating" is an instinct children are born with much like eating, sleeping and pooping
he ran from house to house grabbing candy out of bowls and putting them either into his mouth or his pumpkin basket
if anyone touched or even looked at his pumpkin basket he screamed "MINE" and grabbed it and held it very very close
sadie was under the weather but did give it a good try and actually got A LOT of candy!!
both kids were fast asleep by 7:30 holding onto their glow sticks!
it was a good night, quiet, but sometimes quiet nights are the best
we are plugging away at stuff as we can it seems like the laundry level keeps rising and the list of tasks continues to get longer
i am trying to come up with the holiday wish list for the kids so continue to check the x-mas wish list page
silas is talking a mile a minute and you can actually understand what he is talking about now!!!
he has words!
most of them are little mimics of sadie but he did say "tic or tet" (trick or treat)
we are trying to get outside as much as possible before the weather turns REAL cold and nasty....but flus, colds and over all crabbiness have house bound us more than usual the last week
i have also signed up to help a bunch of people with websites.....so even though i am done with school (oh and so sadly having to pay back loans) i think i am busier than before
that is all for now.....still fighting a cold
enjoy the cutie pictures and movies!
