Blah....

So Chaney had been eyeballing the gifts all day. Moving them around the house, dropping them in her diaper bag, peoples shoes, etc. I thought i was going to bust her shaking one of the gifts but I caught this instead. ("blah" is the word she uses for "yucky" or "dirty" -- turn your volumes up)

Miss K went to Lucy's today and I kept C at home for a change. After lunch we made our first batch of Rice Krispie Treats. She helped pour all the Rice Krispies in and of course, lick the bowl!

So I found out over Thanksgiving more people check in with the blog than I knew, and sadly they have been disappointed at the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. (I'm not really counting Dad's post of C's favorite song as a legitimate post. It was really just a way of putting the link somewhere with easy access so when C comes up to the computer singing "oh,oh,oh" at the top of her lungs we can respond with the song in a timely manner...)

So a recap...

We had a great Thanksgiving. We did PJW's family on Thanksgiving Day, ending up back at our house late afternoon where we did dinner with Granny and UB. And then it was to bed early as the girls were on their last leg, and on mom and dad's last nerve...(we are talkin' wiped out-C even fell asleep in her car seat on the way home and she NEVER does that!) Friday morning we headed to KC for the Luna Thanksgiving/MU v KU football game. The girls stayed behind this year, allowing mom and dad a fun weekend. MU won, I wasn't pregnant for the first time in two years - a good time was had by all...

AND THEN, Monday, Great Granny B and Grandpa B came up along with "Aunt Missy" and we had another yummy Thanksgiving meal! Shew, it was a lot of eating but spread out over a few days seemed justifiable.

The girls are doing great. I swear C is growing an inch a week! And K is sitting up and almost crawling already! She is scooting everywhere and gets on her little knees and hands and rocks like shes ready to go at any moment. (and I dont want to jinx it-but she actually slept till 5:45 this morning-yes, just over 5 months old and we still aren't consistently sleeping through the night...sigh)

We tried our hardest to take a family picture on Thanksgiving...this very well might be where we started the day off on the wrong foot...

Chaney's Favorite Song

She likes to sing the Oh, Oh, Oh Oh....

We have been taking advantage of the last few days of nice weather. Here are a few pics from possibly our last trip to the park this season! We have learned in our trips that Chaney is not timid - going down the slide by herself and running after the ducks, even after a swan got a bit aggressive with the offered cheez-it! Wondering if this is a sign of things to come in her teenage years?

Keaton loves to be outside too, thank goodness it seems I have two outdoorsie girls! Can't imagine what we will do all winter!

Wow-the last few weeks have completely escaped me!

Things are going great here; we have been busy. PJW and I went to MU last weekend for the Kit Bond Alumnae party and tailgate. It was great to see everyone we haven't seen in years. Its funny to think that 11 years ago when I started in Kit's office that it would lead to all this-a hubby and two little girls later! PJW always said I wasn't his first choice for that position - thank goodness he came around and hired me! :)

The girlies are getting so big. Here are some pics of them in their winter hats--and C hanging out with Dad...

Halloween

A few pictures from our Halloween activities...Keaton was a monkey and Chaney was, can you guess?...a piggy!
