TASTES LIKE CHICKEN

Remember a long time ago we had a post about Boris telling us he could hear the sky singing..?

And then there was one relating Spike's take on 'Old MacDonald's Farm', where the farm in the famous song was populated by The Hulk, King Kong and The Thing..?

Well, Hella has reached her version of this super-creative stage...

We were bathing her the other night and she just HAD to tell us all about the three roosters that lived in her mouth...a green one, a yellow one and a pink one.

It seems they all live together in her mouth, each one coming out at different times of the day to..."say cocka-cocka-doo".

We asked her if she ever accidentally swallowed them, and she said, "no, they are very fast."

:-)

Hella and her awesomeness!

Thanksgiving

Well, it was both Royal and Willow's first Thanksgiving!
Everyone seemed to have a good time!
So good in fact, that the taking of pictures, sort of got forgotten...again! (sorry)

There was tons of great food! My 'famous' apple pie! and Sarah's pecan pie, made by Hella and Robyne! A Tofurkey, a Quorn roast, real turkey for the meat-eaters, veggie stuffing made from this yummy recipe I found on-line, fruit salad, green bean casserole, over night butter rolls, and more!

The kids had fun enjoying the colder weather! We put up the playpen outside to keep Royal from eating all the leaves. Who knew the other kids would like it too?!

Unfortunately all the good family shots of the dinner and the 'kids' table cannot be seen here, but, if you don't mind clicking on the link to the side, you can find them at The Book of Walls blog! Thanks Bev and David for coming over and taking some great pictures!

Friday Afternoon

Field Day!

Today was Boris' 1st grade Field Day!
His class wore the color red, and was named "Morton's Monsters!"
In the support of the event, we all wore something red. Hella didn't have anything, so I put this stylish bandanna Hillary got me for my birthday on her! And honestly, this might just be my favorite picture of her!


All the kids in the class drew posters to hang on the fence during the competitions.

Hangin' out in between events.

Boris gearing up to "open a can...!"

Winning rules!

Yeah... he's that big!

This is the 'over/under' event, and that is his 'friend' Christiana behind him! (hee hee)

Overall we had a blast! The weather was cool, and the kids seemed to really get into the whole competition of it, without losing sight of the fun!
Not to mention that Morton's Monsters came in second place!

Hopefully there will be a video to follow, very soon...
*ahem* Rik...

I am a 30 year old Rock Star!

Behold! This is my birthday cake! Well, one of them anyway... the chocolate on chocolate one that my amazingly wonderful friend Carolyn made for me! That's right! This baby is homemade! My sister also made me a white on white layer sheet cake that was stupendous! but, unfortunately, I don't have a picture of that one.


Here are 3 out of 4 of my darling children helping Hillary make birthday cupcakes!


They decided what the cupcakes should say, Hillary just followed direction! Thanks Hillary!


My party was a total blast! Despite my being sick and therefore unable to even smell alcohol, I still had a smashing good time! I'm sure my 30's will blow my 20's away...right?? :)

I am 30.
