Anything But Gray

We had a fantastic day!

We watched a couple of football games and hung with Thing 1 & Thing 2 and then we went up to Ceci & JR's for dinner. DJ and Kayla were both there. The food was SPECTACULAR and the company was even better.
DJ & Kayla spent almost the entire time playing around with the kids. Then Kayla downloaded all the pics she took to her laptop and Ceci window shopped on JR's laptop and JR, Zak and I watched the night football game.

All in all it was an awesome Thanksgiving.

We did have one minor *issue*. Well, aside from the stupid bickering Zak and I did at halftime during the Green Bay game. It was so friggin' stupid, too. ugh.  Both of us at different intervals during this little tiff threatened to throw the remote across the yard…which is a really, really stupid threat..football is on, no way are either one of us going to lose the tivo remote! DUH!!  Anyway, the minor issue I'm talking about was a fire inside the oven. No big deal, just some food that had fallen catching on fire, but DJ felt the need to attack this very, very small fire with the vigor of a volunteer firefighter. Here's a pic of it….

Is that not the funniest friggin' thing, ever?? He was running around like a dork with an elf hat and sunglasses on and that's just when the fire happened….hysterical!!

And in some freakish coincidence Jaime and Ben had just watched "Elmo visits the firehouse" that morning downstairs. Ceci and I are staring at the fire in the oven and we're debating.
"That's a problem, dude."
"Nah, it's small it'll go out."
 "No, that's not good."
"Yeah, it does seem to be getting bigger, huh?"
"Maybe we should get the guys?"
 "Hey guys..the oven is on fire."
All of this exchange is done very calmly (perhaps a little too calm..whatever) and Zak and JR come over slightly frantic and then Jaime comes running over and starts screaming hysterically and jumping up and down  "I know the rules! I know the rules! Everybody GET OUT!!!!"
She learned the rules from Elmo! LOL
So stinkin' cute and luckily Kayla just so happened to get this on video with her camera. I'm going to get her to get it to me so I can post it because it really is cute. We calmed her down and prided her on knowing exactly what to do and explained how it was just a little fire and the adults had it under control. And then DJ pulls the fire thingy off the wall and strikes his firefighter pose.
It was all very hysterical. And come on, what would Thanksgiving be without some kind of issue!!

Here is one more funny pic from today. DJ and the kids were playing monster. DJ was the monster and Kayla got this pic. It totally looks like he's stepping on her head! Too funny. He posted this on his myspace page and the caption he put?
I took 3 of her 9 lives that day.
That kid is so funny!

HYSTERICAL!!

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and to all those that are braving the crowds tomorrow
GOOD LUCK!!!

Ceci and JR are going and they are going to call me at 4:30am. 
If I hear the phone, I'll get up and go with them, but if not…oh well!

Night!
