Isabella was ready for the bath!
Do you think we can go on the road with this show?

He knows if you've been good or bad...

John getting a lump of coal from Santa.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town


Ben's only defense: a lint roller.













Sopranos


Has it been that long since I last posted? I like to take the Sopranos approach to blogging- you miss it when it's gone- and after waiting 2 years for a new season- you are even more excited than ever to see it!
Well, I have no excuse for taking this long to post- honestly- I just didn't feel the need to do it. We went through a dramatic stage for a few months where the tantrums and rolling around on the floor kicking and screaming left me depleted of energy...and that was just John whining about turning 40.
Let's rewind a few months to Christmas- a great, great holiday! We had a ball. My dad dressed up like Santa and brought a sack full of toys! It was awesome!
Ben was petrified of the horrifying man with the big white beard. He would barely be in the same room with him.

Turkey Day in Tennessee

Over the river and through the woods

To Grandmother’s house we go.

The hooptie van knows the way

To carry the babes through the windy, twisty roads. Oh!

Over the river and through the woods

Turkey’s calling our name.

The potatoes are hot,

Cranberries are not.

Oh will a deer be shot?



Over the river and through the woods

The toilet overflows.

Tree roots obstruct.

We’re out of luck.

To bathe down the road we must truck.



Over the river and through the woods

11 adults, 5 babes share one loo.

If we get in a pinch-

It isn’t a synch-

A chamber pot we must use…



Over the river and through the woods.

On the Wii we played.

To the good laughs we had-

When the plumbing went bad.

Hooray for Thanksgiving Day.
