kidlets and overtime

The last several days have been marked by loads of kidlets--kids with turkey hanging out their mouths, kids wrestling each other, kids prowling in azaleas, kids with plates full of banana pudding--and two disappointing overtimes. Altogether Thanksgiving--our first one in the States since 1998--was too incredible, spoken from two chubby cheeks packing at least five extra pounds. I did minimize my weight gain due to the stress of the LSU-Arkansas game and the Tenn-Kentucky game. Two very disappointing outcomes. But Georgia remains in the race, somewhat.

Chapter 2 The Return

The next day nothing was unusuall three men went to the store to buy a teliscope. When they bought the teliscope they looked through it they saw a space ship coming twards their village! It was huge how could they stop it? They thought and thought but they couldn't figure out how to stop it. Just then one of them had an idea, "Lets go to the store and buy some dinamites." "Good idea," said another. So they went to the store and bought some dinamites.

It was a peacefull day in Sunnyville. Everyone was happy... but then a big shadow cast over the little village. Everyone was scared. They ran into their houses, and then the shadow was gone and everyone was very, very suprised. Everyone wondered what it was.

Girls' Getaway

This past week my sister Laurie and I had a chance to get away for a little retreat to Ellijay in the North Georgia mountains. We had such a great relaxing time pampering ourselves. We stayed in a nice bed & breakfast called The Poindexter House, had a river rock massage, and ate at the cute little cafes the town had to offer. It was a trip ten years in the making and we loved being able to catch up with each other. We even watched a Beth Moore DVD called a Retreat in a Box. It was perfect and we are so thankful to our men and moms for keeping the kids and letting us go. We were so spoiled!

trick or treat

Yesterday for Halloween we walked around the square trick-er-treatin' at all the stores. The kids had a big time and even saw a few friends from school. I loved this particular picture of Simon with Hallie, his classmate. I said y'all stand together for a picture, but she and Simon were afraid to stand too close.

Happy 32nd!

We celebrated Amy's 32nd birthday this past Monday. We had a great time. Laura (her sister) came down for the occasion with her son Trey, staying Saturday through Tuesday morning. We went out to MacDaddy's and then had ice cream cake at home. Thanks to everyone who sent cards and presents. It was really special for her!
