Preparing for Santa

We got a few cute pictures of Griffin this past weekend. One was talking to the elf on the shelf, who he and Kevin have named "Zane". I think he was giving Zane the daily report. The other 2 pictures of Griffin were taken as he wrote out his list for Santa..I love 5 year olds!! Such a fun and precious age!!
If you were wondering what the "elf on the shelf" is check out the website..elfontheshelf.com. We are enjoying Zane so much!

Thanksgiving 2008

This year we stayed in NJ for Thanksgiving and had a really nice relaxing day! Just a few pics to share...Kevin played with my Nephew's puppy Copper, and Griffin was glued to his Nintendo DS with big cousin Ian. Kevin loves dogs, but again, with Griffin's allergies we just won't be able to have a dog.

Lollipops and Peanut free...

We had a fun Halloween...I didn't get the best pictures..but I know they had fun! Kevin was Lightening McQueen and Griffin was part of the Pit Crew. After school we went trick or treating with Tyler and Ian. Tyler was a Hobo and Ian was a Sumo Wrestler..what a funny blow up suit! They both looked great. They were so sweet to let my boys go with them and their friends. Then home we went for pizza and more treats. All Kevin wanted was lollipops..he would unwrap b/4 he got to the sidewalk and then go to the next house get another lollipop and give me the used one...yummy, thanks Kev! While Kevin was enjoying his "yoyee pops" Griffin would get annoyed if he was given something with peanuts. I said to be grateful and I will exchange "peanutful" for "peanut free"...I love peanuts! LOL..

The Jacket that Griffin is wearing in the nighttime picture was Todd's as a child...it has all sorts of patches on of different car makes. Griffin thought he was hot stuff! Halloween is a tough holiday with Griffin's allergies..but I think everyone had a great day. Now I will gain weight as I eat all of the peanutful items!
