EBD's Thanksgiving performance

Christmas lights are up.

We also have TWO Christmas trees.

Yes, two.

Bird's nest! Bed of moss!

Fay farm. AKA the edge of the earth.

OK. Now I'm stuck.

Eat your heart out, Fletcher!

Ready for his Thanksgiving play at school - also Thanksgiving Feast

 

MacArthur's donated the feast. Classic far west side soul food joint.

 

He gets smallpox and dies. Fun!

Putting his new bifocals to work

Snowmen and the pink poodle

 

We've been painting fools lately between the back stairwell and the snowman decorating fundraiser for LaSalle II that Jules has been working on for Do Division Holiday.

Painting the stairwell white instead of battleship grey. Everything went great until the kids decided to re-enact Bunnicula by covering green tomatoes from the garden with primer.

Eggs from Audrey's chickens. Yummers.

 

Hedwig the Chicken's egg is blue.

The REAL Last BBQ of 2011?

 

D Boy fired up a sweet smore. Nata and the panda also ate a smore.

No sleep till brooklyn!!

 

Beth, Julie and Suzy took the kids for an overnight to the Keller place near New Buffalo, MI. Shockingly, the Moms got the kids to bed later than the Dads did up in Wisconsin a few weeks ago.

Dads rule!

Rainy day

Last BBQ of 2011?

 

The Mercs and McMahons came over. Brigid McMahon made a very special guest appearance. Hot Chocolate and Rumple Minze also made a very special guest appearance. Mike brought Bombette Pugliese.  Elliot said he was "smoking pipeweed." Good parenting!

Emissions testing can be fun!
