The Condo

We are currently staying at The Condo. It's the place where two of my brothers live. My other brother drove to the condo with us, so four out of five of "us kids" are here.
We had lots of relatives come here for Thanksgiving. We packed the place. It was loud and fun. I hope the neighbor was away for the day....but I guess she's probably used to the noise, so it probably didn't matter. We ate lots of food and played some games and did a puzzle and talked - our traditional family Thanksgiving.

Some things we've done here:
1) Attended an art show to see some of my relatives' wares.
2) Spent 25 minutes in line at the checkout counter at Old Navy, only to find out that I've left my wallet in the car.
3) Went swimming at the hotel pool with my uncle and cousins.
4) Made four pies and watched them vanish.
5) Went grocery shopping with a two-page list, two tired kids, and a patient husband, at 10:00pm.
6) Found a Christmas gift for each of my kids and even one for my husband.
7) Bought much needed snow boots for my rapidly growing son.
8) Took my daughter shoe shopping for nice dress shoes.
9) Dealt with a screaming daughter in Target - she WANTED the bright RED patent leather boots. NOW! No other shoes would do.
10) Left Target with no shoes.

Stickers

Stickers are very popular at my house. So popular, in fact, that Grandpa noticed and donated a huge stack of stickers to our cause (many of those address labels you get in the mail; along with lots of other holiday stickers). The kids spend many minutes putting their stickers to good use. They decorated an old Schwans chicken patties box.

Exciting times!

Can't See Me

My daughter is hiding. Can you find her in the picture?

If the picture had sound, you would hear giggling.

Earthquake!

My mom e-mailed me this site that lists all of the recorded earthquakes measured each day. I am amazed at the quantity and magnitude of earthquakes that happen on this earth. What a lot of rumbling!

Still Ill

My son is throwing up again this morning. Poor little guy - he just isn't able to keep anything in his tummy. At least he has his smiley moments.

Icky 2

Read post below first.

My husband came down with the tummy bug this afternoon. The kids are both doing much better. They are almost back to normal, so I guess it was my husband's turn.

Icky

We've had some icky stuff at our house. My daughter had the tummy flu on Friday afternoon. She threw up about ten times on Friday, plus once on Saturday morning (all over my bed). My son came downstairs covered in puke at 1:00 am last night. He threw up a few more times last night and hasn't eaten much at all today. He seems to be doing better, but he has a ways to go to get to 100%.

Family

I have quite a good looking family. In fact, I think they are the best looking family in the whole word, but hey, that's just my opinion.

My great aunt says I have a great looking family, too. She's over 80 years old and probably doesn't see too well.

My husband's great aunt once told me that my family was pretty good looking, too. She has macular degeneration. :)
