HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL

Wow! Another Thanksgiving over. Let's move on to Christmas and get this show on the road. Thanksgiving was great this year. We feasted with our good friends Ryan and TJ. I wanted to say "the Pinis" but figured that didn't look too good. I am sure glad my patients will not have to say they are going to visit Dr. Pini. Maybe he should have been a Urologist. We had a forced romantic candlelight dinner because we lost power just after everything finished cooking. It actually stayed off for almost three hours. As you can see we had just about every candle in the house burning, and Ryan thought it would be a good idea to light his alcohol lamp for the extra flare.

Our dinner consisted of a combined effort of family specialties. We made the orange rolls, yams, and stuffing. TJ and Ryan made the Asparagus prosciuto, turkey, and potatoes. After raving about the potatoes, we found out why they were so good. All it takes is two cups of heavy cream, two sticks of butter, and two to three teaspoons of salt and voila! Good potatoes.

After all was said and done, it turned out to be an excellent day and great dinner, even without the lights. Now we can't wait to get this semester over with, so taking our cue from Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, all we can sing is, "We've been good but we can't last! Hurry Christmas! Hurry fast... Please Christmas don't be late!"

Nicole said...: I want some recipes. That asparagus looks way good. I bet my orange rolls are better than yours though. My secret ingredient is the oranges off my tree in the back. None of that store bought crap. Of course, it's probably too cold in Indy for Orange trees. So sorry. At least you guys have.....what is it you guys have??? Oh, a house.

Quotable Quotes

The other day Boston and I were at the church for a little singing play group. He must have been getting sick of it, because half way into it, he runs across the room, drags over the diaper bag, hands me the strap, and says, "Come on, mom. Let's get outta here!"

Today I go to get in my car and open the door for Boston to climb in. He runs over to Mark's car and says, "No, mommy! I wanna my daddy's car!"

After asking Boston if he wants a cheeseburger... "No! I not cheeseburger! I nuggets!" We go through this everyday, as he usually wants nuggets or a hot dog, no matter what I'm offering.

Getting Boston ready for bed... Me: "Boston, do you want to wear your Mickey Mouse pants?" Boston: (squealing) "Yes! Hot Dog, Hot Pants!"

Today Mark is eating a grapefruit, and Boston (thinking it's an orange) wants some. Mark puts a small piece into Boston's open mouth... Boston looks at Mark with a look of deepest digust, spits it out, does a full-body shudder, and says, "Ucky, be-be! Ucky, be-be!"

The other day Boston tells Nikki, "Mama, I wanna nugget!" He later tells me, "Mama! Mama! I wanna coke!" Lovely.

Me: Boston, what does a doggie say? Boston: Arf, arf, Pluto!

The other day, Boston was watching Mickey Mouse (as always) and I told him we were going bye-bye. He turns to the TV and says, "OK, bye-bye, see ya, Dedo (Pluto), Daisy, Mmmm Mouse!" This kid is so dang cute!

This afternoon I asked Boston if he wanted some fruit snacks. He got a huge grin on his face, said, "Yeah!", followed me to the kitchen, and when I handed him the pack, he exclaimed, "Ooooooh, deg-nuh (thank you)!" Too cute.

Mark talking about how much he has been taking care of Boston (and thus changing diapers) the past month... "I'm getting so good! I changed a really stinky one the other day, and I only gagged once! I was proud of myself!"

Mark singing to Boston, who is fussy with gas, "I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt, and send it down the drain!"
