I wish turkey only cost a nickel
Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving
but...
we are proud to be unamerican over here today.
we ate NO turkey and watched NO football.
It is a strange strange feeling to not see my family today.
But with work yesterday, and work tomorrow, and mike working today...
it just didn't seem practical to take both kids back and forth for one day.
We are headed to Mogadore for the weekend coming up.
This morning, we started our own tradition...
the Granville Turkey Trot.
Eli got a little rubber turkey and it hasn't left his side since.
 |
| hot chocolate after our race. the turkey was tuuurrsssty he said. |
 |
| turkey was dirty |
 |
| turkey even had sweet potato casserole with us for our "thanksgiving dinner" |
 |
| turkey don't wike it, eli said |
eli is such a quirky little dude.
i bought him a truck a few days ago that is a green dodge ram just like his daddy's truck.
he. is. obsessed. with. that. truck.
he sleeps with it, carries it around all day, takes it in the tub.
here he is this afternoon trying to fit these rocks in the bed of the truck.
dey don't fit he told me.
when i handed it to him, i said go show daddy.
he took off running to mike, SHOUTing...
I GOT A NEW BIG TRUCK. LOOOOOOK AT IT!!!!!!!
that truck was worth every penny of that $3.99 just for that excitement.
I can't wait until Christmas morning.
i am so thankful for this little boy.
he is so lovable, with such personality.
he is wild and fun and is so happy all the time.
he loves his momma, and will take my hand and go anywhere with me, whether it's to put on my pj's in the bedroom or to get groceries from the car.
he says wuv you mommy and greets me after work at the door by running full speed to me and yelling MOMMY'S HOME!!
I can't imagine LIFE without him.
here is my big boy...2 years ago on thanksgiving.
20 lbs then, at 4 months.
now 2 years and 4 months and only 30 lbs. haha
flash forward back to today.
same outfit, same gene pool.
another cute little turkey.
(lots littler than eli was.)
how did i get so lucky?
these boys are awesome.
however i did post on facebook today that i was most thankful for birth control.
Yes, Sam and his waking up every hour on the hour all night long has forced the infertile girl to take birth control.
It's this smile, and this smile only...
that keeps me from putting him in the garage to sleep tonight.
i guess he just misses him momma at night time.
funny how he didn't need his momma at night when he was fresh out of the womb.
nope, slept like a champ when he was a week old.
i really hope we get some teeth here soon and move on to sleeping again.
he was a good boy today all day.
no fussing and just go with the flow.
It's so hard to imagine his little personality, and his little voice that will surface before we know it.
I imagine him as a long haired surfer boy.
short and little, with long sun-kissed blonde hair.
with a temper (and passion) like his daddy and a smile that reaches his eyes like his momma.
i think he will march to his own drum, and not just follow Eli because he is the little brother.
these two...
how could i have not even known them 3 short years ago...
and today, my heart is so full of them that I don't know how happiness even existed without them.
(but i'm done. still taking the birth control.)
