Looking for a unique Chirstmas gift??

A very good friend of mine is the owner of Guitars and Cadillacs. It is a great place to buy gifts for that person who has everything. They sell Texas gift bags and all kind of gourmet foods, all packaged in a fun Texas theme. Everything from salsa & jelly to armadillo droppings! They also have fun Texas clothing for adults and kids. If you want to go check out the website, the address is http://www.guitarsandcadillacs.com

TWINS! Excuse or actual cause?

OK, so maybe i'm an idiot for actually admitting this on the internet, but here's to honesty and making my friends laugh (even if it as laughing AT me)!

I drug Terry (the girls came willingly) to Hobby Lobby last night to buy us all Christmas stockings. It took forever (according to Terry) because I wanted them all to coordinate. It turns out stockings only come in coordinating sets of 3, never 4. I finally decided on 2 sets of 2 and we checked out just as the store was closing. Today we went to Crackel Barrell for breakfast and I found more stockings I liked. So I bought 4 more there and decided I'd compare my two options and take back my least favorite. This afternoon I decided to look at all 8 of our new stockings. "Terry, where is the bag from Hobby Lobby?" I didn't see it in the house, so he checked in the car, but it was nowhere to be found. So I called the store and asked if anyone left a bag of stockings last night and the guy said "yes, at the last register." Exactly! So Terry got the lucky task of going to pick up my forgotten bag. Guess I paid, but never picked up the bag! whoops! (This is not surprising because a few months ago we went to Shorty Smalls Express and forgot to pay. The cashier eventually came to our table with the check saying "you can pay whenever you're ready.")

But the story gets worse... after a while T calls asking who I spoke with at the store cuz they can't find the bag. I didn't know, so they kept searching the store (although whoever I talked to knew exactly where it was, he was aparantly MIA). Meanwhile, I go change a diaper and notice this strange sack on the dresser. What's this? Our stockings!! uh oh! So I call T back and tell him they can call off the search cuz I had them at the house the whole time. oopsie! In my defense, I only stopped looking around the house because the employee on the phone said they had it there!

Happy Thanksgiving!! We have so much to be thankful for! My special thanks this year is for the group hug I get when Areli & Mila hug me at the same time! Blessings! (Even if they do make me lose my mind sometimes!)

Look to the left of Terry's head... in the plactic bag on the counter... Agh, it's Elmo!! We've killed him!!

Pumpkin Patch

Last Sunday Terry & I took Areli & Mila to Schafer's Pumpkin farm. Being thier first time to see real pumpkins, they quickly learned that they are too heavy to pick up!




















WARNING: I'm blogging!

OK, so enough of you told me I should do a blog, so here I am. Now if there are not any more postings until the girls start Kindergarten, I reserve the right to say "I told you so." Wish me luck!
