Thanksgiving
Turkey Day, 2008 was a blast......we relaxed most of the day. Went for a walk....
Then went over to our friend's house to celebrate with some other couples. It was a small gathering, but just the right amount of people, and just the right amount of REALLY GOOD FOOD. It was a great hanging out with friends that we have known for a long time....
This is Scout bringing in all of Mo's accessories!!!!
T.J. and Michele...our lovely hosts....
Jay chilling after supper...
This is O.......Mo's first friend.....he is 4, and they are finally at a good age to play together...
O's mommy, Amy.....hanging in the kitchen!!!
The kids really played well together......by the end of the night, we turned on a movie, and this photo just cracks me up....talk about tuning in, and dropping out...

Brains vs. Brawn
So, most of you know we have two dogs......we often say that one got all the brains and the other has all the brawn......now, I won't say which dog is which, but perhaps this will give you a clue....
This is Percy.
This is Cricket.
If the pictures don't do it for you.......listen to this little anecdote....
The dogs get impatient to eat in the morning. They often will come into our bedroom and try to get us up by licking our hands, trying to crawl on the bed, etc....It doesn't work, we shoo them out.
This morning, I got up to go to the bathroom, and caught Cricket up on Mo's bed, standing over her, LICKING HER FACE! Cricket realizes that once Mo is up, so is everyone else....which results in dog food in her bowl! Now that I think about it, Mo has been waking up earlier than usual lately......
Damn Cricket......

Sicko
Mo has had a stuffy nose for the past few days. Nothing major, just copious amounts of snot running down her face at all times. It never bothered her....we just kept the tissues handy....
Last night, laying in bed, the coughing started. She was just occasionally was doing it, but at around 2:00 in the morning.....she broke out in a huge coughing fit, that lasted several hours. We brought her into bed with us, and tried to prop her up and make her comfortable....
She managed to get a few hours of sleep....and woke up in a decent mood.
My poor girl.....
(I secretly love when this happens, because I have an excuse to cuddle with her in our bed......shhh, don't tell anyone)

....or else
Lately, Mo has been stalling in getting dressed in the morning. We are on a tight schedule, and it doesn't seem to matter if I wake her up early, lay her clothes out, or anything.......she just doesn't want to put her clothes on when I need her to....I have wrestled with her......threatened..... begged....bribed......nothing seems to work.
This morning, she was running around....she had taken off her PJs, but was refusing to put clothes on. I gave her 2 warnings......and she just gave me that sly smile (you know the one).......
I picked up her stuff and her and walked out the door.....and yes, she was butt-naked!!!!
I was hoping this would shock her and make an impression.....and it did....she thought this was hysterical. She kept laughing and saying...."I naked!!!"
On the way to school......she kept saying she was cold (I didn't turn up the heat in the car)....I told her too bad she didn't have clothes on...clothes keep you warm. I also mentioned how sad it was going to be that she wouldn't get to go to the park since you have to wear clothes at the park.
When we pulled up to our daycare....I opened her door, fully expecting to have to carry my naked child in.....and Mo looks at me and says.....
"I want my clothes on." She put them on right there in the van.....saving me from that walk of shame.
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.......

Sushi-Ville
Tonight, we tried a new sushi restaurant.......they had a salt water fish tank with all the fish from "Finding Nemo" in it......
Mo couldn't stop looking at the fish. She loved it......as she looks at the fish, she says....
"Hi, finding nemo.......you were in movie.....you in fish tank now?"
