Gobbles, Guys and GameBoys

A Thanksgiving to remember for sure! Hayley had a rough week last week -- with Croup and Fifths Disease. We ended up missing out on Thanksgiving with Rory, Rebekah and Kirk -- a disappointment for sure. We were lucky to make a successful 11th hour trip to the grocery store and come up with everything we needed for our own little feast.

On Sunday Cole started his birthday celebration by spending the afternoon with his friends Adam, Jeremy, Jay and William for a movie and ice cream. He's also enjoying a new skateboard, a Game Boy and lots of new art supplies.

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! See you next week!


Cole working hard on the cranberries for Thanksgiving.
Happy Cole!

Will we be in the ER before he ever makes it outside?

Sis and Bro hanging out before school on Monday -- happy birthday Cole!

Cole has been banned from gum for over a year...We agreed he could have gum again once he was six. SOOOO, he choose to have a big piece of gum for his birthday instead of cake! Eat your heart out Grandpa -- this gum's for you! See you next week!

The art of compromise...

Not too much to report this week. Hayley and Cole have spent a lot of time playing together as you will see below. They say the delicate art of compromise is first learned with siblings...and it has begun! Hayley insisted on playing pirates and Cole wanted to play ninjas on Friday night. We'll call it a win, win, lose situation. Hayley and Cole both win and mom loses with having two crazies running wild through the house... oh well, what's new? Maybe this week they'll play farmer and hunter to see who gets the turkey first. After all, it is Thanksgiving and this place has already gone to the birds.... Have a happy holiday!


Playing pirate ninjas...she's a pirate, he's a ninja.

More action...

Thank goodness that game is over...

Play-doh on Saturday morning. See you next week. Happy Thanksgiving!!! Gobble. Gobble...

Having a Ball!

Well we lucked out with a BEAUTIFUL day to end the soccer season. Cole scored a goal and the season ended on a high note! Not too much else to report. See you next week!


Cole doing what he loves -- playing goalie!

The end of the season! Cole is on the far left...

Playing with R2D2...

Cheeezzze!

A nice picture with mom... See you next week!

YogA Bear and Boo Boo too...

What a week. Sorry we're a bit late with the post, but we had some technical troubles... Not too many pictures, but did capture the Cole and Hayley Sunday morning yoga workout. From time to time Cole leads Hayley in this hilarious workout routine...

Cole started a basketball clinic last week. He's enjoying it, but is well aware that his talents lie elsewhere... He was off school Monday and Tuesday (for the elections) and spent Tuesday celebrating the Democrats sweeping victories with fun at McDonalds, rollerblading at the roller rink with friends and seeing the new movie -- Flushed Away.

This Saturday is our last soccer game. Looks like good weather (knock on wood) so I hope to catch a few pictures of that at least! See you next week!

If you're looking for some extended Cole pics, you can check out his class blog for pictures from his Halloween parade at school. Go to: www.ourclassblog2006.blogspot.com. Enjoy!

S-T-R-E-T-C-H!

Whew... Now it's time to go drink some green tea and chant. See you next week.

Halloween is over! (Now just 55 days until Christmas...)

We had another fun Halloween with a party in Cole's class and trick or treating fun with Adam, Emilie, and Andrew. What a day! See you next week!
