Getting ready for the holidays

Well, I would like to say I am getting ready for the holidays, but truth be told, I am not ready to even think about them. I am just in shock that Thanksgiving is this Thursday! We are going to Richmond, where Brian's sister Tiffany is hosting. That is going to be so much fun...the kids just love spending time together! I am excited because I get to bake! I love to bake (especially chocolate chip pie!) and this year, I think the boys will help. One of the skills that Hunter is supposed to learn this year is following a recipe, so baking with me will be perfect!

The boys have been totally infatuated with Spider Man lately. Every day Garrett wants to wear a SpiderMan shirt (the only problem...he doesn't have as many shirts as there are days in the week!). Hunter wants to wear the SpiderMan costume that I got at a yard sale. One day last week, I was busy with housekeeping when I passed by the boys' room. Hunter was in there putting on a church shirt (button down oxford-type shirt) and pants. But I also noticed the pants did not fit at all. Upon further investigation, I realized he also had on his clothes AND the SpiderMan costume. He explained he was putting the clothes over top to be Peter Parker. It was all becoming clear. A few minutes later, Garrett was putting Hunter's clothes on top of his SpiderMan shirt and jeans. He, too, wanted to be Peter Parker. They have such great imaginations!

Garrett believes that he IS SpiderMan, and insists that he has to wear the shirts to shoot webs out of his arms. Since there were no more shirts clean last Tuesday, I tried to appease him with Spidey undies. He was very indignant. He told me, "I don't want to shoot webs from my penis!" I had never imagined that would be a problem! Oh, the mind of a child!

We had a wonderful trip to Danville this past weekend to visit Uncle Paul, Aunt Tammy, Sydney and Cassidy. The kids had movie night Friday, they played much of the day Saturday, we went to see The Bee Movie, and played some more. It is always sad when our visits are over. It is wonderful that the boys and their cousins are so close!

Grandpa came by for a quick visit yesterday afternoon. The boys were thrilled...they played games and read books with Grandpa. They love the attention!

Well, we are preparing for a busy week...all weeks are busy, but we have 3 days to get it all done! We have our Bible Study friends coming this morning. The boys love when their buddy Josiah comes to play. They run wild and have a blast. And I love to spend time with the ladies that come here every Monday morning. It is such a blessing to have these ladies in my life.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! God Bless!
