Turkey Day

We started off Thanksgiving with the Saratoga Turkey Trot. There was a 5k course and a 10k course. I loved it because so many families came together -- kids and all! Mallory and Troy rode their bikes. Lindsie ran with her best friends, Rick was taking pictures(that's why he's not in any of them) and then he and I ran together! It was so much fun --- The Best Run Ever. Can't believe where I was last year at this time...in my hard neck collar, hoping for a full recovery. I feel overwhelmed with gratitude, I am so very blessed!

This year was our turn to spend with Rick's family, but on our way, we stopped by my family to say HI

David, Lisa and Bodie came from Washington DC to spend the weekend with us! We decided to make our own little get-away out of it too. We spent the weekend at Rick's parents house. We had such a blast -- we went to the aquarium, Airbourne, and bowling!!!

Bodie brought this funny Turkey hat --

We ate, and ate, and ate.....relaxed, relaxed, relaxed, and played, played, played. It made for the perfect Thanksgiving Weekend!!!

Funny things my kids say .....

-- Mallory was watching T.V. when a preview came on for an upcoming movie called Coraline. She came and asked me to please come turn on Coraline for her to watch in the theater. I told her that I was sorry, but I don't have that movie and I can't turn it on for her. She continued to beg and cry for me to turn it on, she even took me by the hand into the theater. I was getting frustrated with her and explained, "Mallory, I cannot turn it on for you, I don't have the movie. We have to go see it at a theater." She said, "Mom, the T.V. said it is now playing in theaters everywhere!" Poor little girl ... this life is so confusing for a 3 year old. Shouldn't it play in our home theater too!
-- Mallory was having one of those days where she was being very defiant. I was putting her in her bed and I said, "Mallory, do you think that tomorrow you could wake up and be a good girl and choose the right." She said, "okay mom, I'll choose the right, not the left."
-- Lindsie was busy doing her homework tonight and was talking about warm blooded vs. cold blooded. She was telling Troy that humans are considered mammals because "we have hair." Troy immediately said, "So Uncle Jeremy isn't a mammal" (Uncle Jeremy shaves his head bald) I was laughing so hard I was crying. Sorry, Jeremy, your not a mammal like the rest of us!
-- We were getting ready for the Halloween party. The basement was all decked out with spooky sounds and decorations. Mallory said, "mom, I'm so scared." I said, "It's okay Mallory, its just pretend, it's just Halloween." She said, "but mom, I'm only a child."
---Today I was making lunch for Mallory. I got out the bread and started spreading peanut butter all over it. Mallory started to cry and said in a very upset tone, "no, mom I don't want peanut butter on my bread!" So I said, "well what do you want on it?" Mallory said "I just want my bread to be naked."
---Mallory's preschool teacher emailed me and told me this funny story about Mallory. They were doing science centers and talking about what sinks and what floats. After they were finished she heard Mallory calling to her from the bathroom, "teacher, teacher, come see ... my poop is floating! She said Mallory was so excited about this new discovery.
