Playin' ketchup

Have you heard the saying "slow and steady wins the race?"  Well I am not sure that SuperPat will win the bet, but he has been going pretty slow and steady.  He has absolutely loved having Darth Tator move in but Darth's diabolical plan to keep him from really performing at his maximum pace is working.  (Sorry Darth, I know it really isn't you, but you are a convenient excuse for SuperPat.)  Only a few weeks left until the day of the bet, SuperPat it is time to keep the steady but change the speed from slow to super sonic!  Darth, we hope that there is not blood but ketchup on the floor at the end of this challenge, prepare to be dipped!

Giving Thanks

We have the very best family and friends, and friends who are better than family.  We are so blessed that so many people who invited us over for food, good times, shopping and games.  We have a new favorite game thanks to the Cloustans called "Word on the street".  And we have lots of fun bargains from midnight shopping with Alanna, although my feet were so tired by the time we finally got out of the line.  Next time, I am going to pick out a folding chair to sit on and then I will just tell the clerk I don't want to buy it when we finally get to the end of the marathon shopping line.  I still think we got gypped on the Cricut cartridges.  But the very best part of Thanksgiving weekend was getting to spend time with some of our favorite people, at least the ones who haven't been throwing up in the recent past.  Mom, Dad, and kids, we love you so much but we are really glad that we weren't in Idaho to share the Christmas bug.  See you all soon and Happy Holidays!
