Then in true Indian and Pilgrim style--we enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving feast...and of course Rocco with his signature face...

Happy Thanksgiving to all who read! We are truely thankful for your friendship in our lives!

Documenting the funny sayings...

OK, I am not much of a scrapbooker...or documenter for that matter...all I have is this blog and some very neglected baby books..but I do want to remember some of the funny things my kids have said..so here goes...(sorry to bore any of you who have already heard this stuff)



Rocco:

Pointing to a mosquito bite on his arm..."Look Mommy, I have Leopard Seed!"


After getting fitted for his Aunt Aubreys wedding..."When do I get to wear my speedo?"


When in trouble with his father..."Mom, how do I get rid of Daddy?"



When annoyed with his brother.... "No more Roman for a week!" (stolen from the Berenstain Bears-no more TV for a week)



Also when annoyed with his brother..."Mom, I think Roman needs a nap"



When trying to convince his grandparents to do something for him..."Come on Fellers!" (I think that is stolen from Veggie tales or Berenstain Bears)

Roman: (short list currently since he is at the beginning stages of talking)

Pointing to his fathers sunglasses..."asses"

When hungry and pointing to food....I want YUMMY!!

In general I just love his little voice and everything he says is so darn cute right now just because of the way he says it...which is not good because even when he is being sassy, I definitely think that is hilarious and cute too..and I know I shouldn't. Maybe its because he is the youngest and as my older siblings have told me countless times through the years..the baby always gets away with murder...I could be in trouble here.

The Rocco and Roman guide on how to properly enjoy fall weather...

First you rake up a nice big pile of leaves...lucky for us we have 1 tree which provides this necessary ingredient.

Then, you run and jump into it..see above.

If you feel like you need more leaves, the rake also is useful for knocking more down (but it also helps to have a bench to stand on so you can reach)

Next you ram the pile of leaves with a big truck.....then its back to square one--more raking..

and always remember to be extra careful because sometimes the leaves can jump up and get you.

The Suprise visit of a Fairy Princess....

I hear this loud knocking on my door...oh no..who is trying to solicit me this time?!!!

A Fairy princess at my door....can I have 3 wishes please? or better yet...entertain my kids for the weekend!!!! SWEET!!!

The fairy princess shed her costume to rip out some pumpkin guts...

Daddy also got the shock of his life when the Fairy Princess, who got back in costume after the pumpkin carving to welcome him home.

I even managed to to look something like the Cat in the Hat..I can't remember where I got the hat...but it came in handy...although my son saw another cat in the hat costume and informed me.."See Mom, that is what the Cat in the Hat is supposed to look like" kids are so honest...and at least I tried, which is more than I can say for the kid who showed up at my door in no costume whatsoever and held out his bag expecting a handout...now that is lame/shameless (not sure which, perhaps both)

my little turtle...yes, it is a hand me down costume from his big bro but he seemed to like it...and even more so with the Cat in the Hat hat...

The pirate had a blast trick or treating and had double the treat with candy AND Granny and Lennie to walk around with....
