hangin around this town...

here's what we've been doing lately.

hanging out with our almost perfect dog.

or hanging on top of him. whatev.

One of the sweetest people on the planet came to visit, bearing this cooler. Anyone in Texas knows if someone comes to your house with anything Pappas on it, you are a lucky person.

Oh blessed Tex Mex. Libby thank you just doesn't seem like enough. :)

She also made us these AMAZING cookies. Amazing not only because of her artistic talent ( you should see all the stuff that she does), but they taste SO GOOD! Something tricky when you do stuff that cute. They were seriously delicious.

Ava didn't approve of a picture without her in it. :)

We LOVED having you Libby! (isn't she pretty?!) Come back soon!

We've had some pancake breakfasts. Mark allowed them to apply their own chocolate chips. Huh.

Mark also decided we should begin exposing our kids to horticulture. We have black thumbs and our yard is always embarassing, but he wanted them to plant stuff. So they did.

And look at that-it worked. (Side note: we are about to leave for Thanksgiving and taking these dumb plants with us. Anyone want to take bets on whether or not they will dump over in the car on our road trip?!?! I'm being a submissive wife though. Wish me well.)

Our little pilgrim had a Thanksgiving Feast at school.

This picture cracked me up. I love that Reese just legitimately climbed right up in her lap. And that Ava's finger is halfway up her nose. :)

And just because it made me laugh-we had to go to the mall to take our computer last weekend. Mark had the computer box propped on the stroller (obviously)...the girls and I were walking behind and started to notice everyone pointing and laughing at us. As I looked around the stroller little Houdini had unbuckled and was making her escape. Ohhhh Reese.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all! Hope you have lots of turkey and baked goods with cream cheese. :)
