Thanksgiving Part I

Our Thanksgiving has be great so far! The drive to Memphis was rather uneventful- a good thing when travelling with three little ones! The boys watched A LOT of DVD's, ranging from Baby Einstein to 'Taylor Taylor.' We were even so fortunate as to have Patrick serenade us with Taylor Swift for the last hour or so of the drive! He just loves to watch the DVD that has her music videos on it. He wants to watch the same song over and over until he learns the words and then move on to the next song! We did have a little issue with the sun while driving on I-40 West. "He's lookin' at me!" is what Patrick kept saying. But, once I gave him a pair of sunglasses he was good to go...We arrived in Memphis about dinner time and went to El Porton for some yummy Mexican food. Then, it was back to MiMi's and off to bed!

Can't argue with Patrick, the sun is definitely lookin' at him!

Just chillin' with his shades on...

I don't know exactly what was going on when these pics were taken.

I think I was upstairs in the shower and the boys were supposed to

be getting dressed. But, look at that fun scooter that MiMi got the

boys and the stick horse and farmer's hat just make it complete!

Graham loved MiMi's stick horses. However, he managed

to chew off the ends of the sticks on all three of them!

Safety first!!! That's Marshy's motto.

He's got his helmet on and is ready

to have a go at riding the scooter.

Goin' on a cat hunt...

Not to be confused with going on a

bear hunt!!! The boys just can't leave

MiMi's poor kitties alone. See the cat

hiding under the dining room table?

Graham really enjoyed his Thanksgiving dinner! He sat right

down and had basically finished eating by the time we all got

started. The other two boys didn't do so well...

Patrick just wanted one of the cupcakes with a Turkey on top

that we got for the boys' dessert. Marshall just wanted to sit with

daddy. They both finally ate a little and then ate up a yummy cupcake.

After dinner the boys played, took a bath and were off to bed. The big boys have been sleeping very well and MiMi's. Graham, not so much. He's in the pack-n-play in our room and has just ended up sleeping in bed in between me and Robert! At random times during the night he will come on over to me and have a middle-of-the-night momma milk snack or just drape himself over you and sleep very soundly. Now, can't say the same for momma or daddy when he's on top of us! I have a feeling this new habit will be hard to break once he get back to Cincinnati.

Today we head to Brownsville for a short visit and then off to Dyersburg 'til Sunday. We've had a great trip so far and we're looking forward to the rest of our visit!
