The ONLY nice thing about one of your babies not feeling well....

This was from a couple weeks ago on a day where she had a runny nose AND her shots.  All she wanted was to be held.  Sweet, sweet girl.

Fun Fact Day 2: Nicknames

Bennett:  Norm, Norman T Norman T Norman T Jones, BD
Annabelle:  Annie Miss Annie, Ann, Sis, Anna Banana
Eliza:  Lida Beans, Lidey, Bean Diggity, Beans
CallaMae:  Calla Baby, Super Cal

 We skipped trick or treating this year because the weather was terrible.  But B, A and E went out to McDonald's with Mark and Carol and thought that was a good trade off.  The kids did get dressed up for their schools Monster Mash. It's a dance with various activities for elementary students.  It's to raise money for the Parent Education Group.    And CallaMae dressed up for the sake of a picture.  Every baby has a picture in that honey pot costume.
      Annabelle:  Cowgirl,                  Bennett:  Paul from Gator Boys,             Eliza:  Giraffe

Fun Fact December: Day 1

Today through the end of the month I am going to *TRY* and jot down one fun fact about me or our family as a reminder of how we are/things we do during this season of our lives.

Everyone in this family loves Cinnamon Toast Crunch (or the Aldi's version).  I bought 6 boxes on Tuesday knowing everyone would be home for a stretch of time for Thanksgiving.  We go through about a box a day but I figure it's $1.69 a box at Aldi so that plus the cost of milk is a pretty cheap breakfast.  It's the only cereal Darrin and the kids don't get sick of.  I'm not much of a breakfast eater.  When I do eventually eat, I choose greek yogurt.  I will eat just about any kind.  If you aren't a fan of greek yogurt but think the protein would be a nice added benefit to a breakfast or snack, I HIGHLY recommend Dannon Oikos Key Lime Greek Yogurt.  I'd say it's my favorite and tastes like a dessert.
