Speaking of t-shirts...

I sure love this boy, and apparently he loves me too!

Jenny's shirt

Jenny was feeling bad because she didn't have a t-shirt for Thanksgiving. Here it is Jenny. That's how you're going to feel being around the four Holman brothers for a whole, long weekend. Trust me, I know, I grew up with them. The only girl in a family with four brothers. It's rough.

Mummy's boy!

As you may know from my previous post,Connor loves wearing costumes. This boy was made for Halloween. Last year he got some cool glow-in-the dark skeleton pajamas that he wore EVERYWHERE. Even cooler, Grandma Linda got some to match!
As the newness of the skeleton pajamas wore off he decided he really wanted mummy pajamas. I had never seen any before so I laid awake at night trying to figure out how I could make him some. I finally realized that was just too much work and hoped he would forget. He didn't. A couple of weeks ago I was walking through Wal-Mart and found these gems! And for only $6.00! The only drawback? They didn't have them in grandma's size!

Better t-shirt

My brother Logan posted on his blog about how he and all my brothers are going to be together in St. Louis for Thanksgiving. Logan suggested getting t-shirts made for the trip. He showed a couple of options. They were OK, but I like this one best. What do you think boys?

Smile

For three years, six months and one day, my brother Josh has not smiled with his mouth open, but after today he can! He got his braces off. I'm really excited for him and for his girlfriend who has never even seen Josh without braces. Although this is one less thing I have to make fun of him about. No more "tinsel teeth" or "metal mouth" comments. I'm going to have to come up with some new material. Did you say you're getting head gear tomorrow Josh, because that opens up a whole lot of possibilities?! I haven't seen Josh yet without his braces but I hear rumor that he bears a striking resemblance to the late JFK Jr.! Happy Braces Coming Off Day Josh!

I love fall, just not today.

I love fall and in particular Halloween. I have an affinity for all Halloween things that say "Boo" (It was my nick name when I was a kid, and sometimes still is, right Mom?!)But it does not feel like fall right now. The temperature the last two days has hoovered around 100. I can't stand it. I want to bake, make chili, and put a sweater on. Maybe soon we'll get to have a real fall day, we get one or two of those a year here in So. California. Until then, sorry Mads it's long sleeves for you because it is supposed to be fall!
