GROSS!!!

I woke up this morning, and was getting the kids breakfast. I went to get out a plate and noticed some special little droppings in my drawers. YUCK. I called Steve and told him about it and he said he'd take care of it when he got home. I spent the rest of the morning hand washing all of my dishes. I have never missed a dishwasher so much. When Steve got home he went about setting some more traps, and checking the old ones. And this is what he found...

Hopefully it is the same little guy who decided to defecate on my plates. We tried to feed it to the cat (who won't even eat the food we put out for it). She didn't want it. Oh well.... I'm still totally grossed out.

Ethan's Birthday and Santa

Ethan wanted a yellow dragon cake for his birthday... this is my attempt. It was very tricky to frost, so we just say that it looks scaly. The main thing is that Ethan loved it. Here he is blowing out his three candles.This is one of his presents; Grandma Davis made this really cool batman cape for him. The kids also got to go and sit on Santa's lap, this is their second time. Ethan always asks for the same thing, a red rocket ship with a red astronaut. I have no idea where he came up with this, but he has it stuck in his head. Chloe was a little nervous, but she made it through the picture :)

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving this year in St. George with Steve's family. We had a wonderful dinner and then decided to go work off all that extra pie we ate. I don't know the name of this place, but it's up by the Dixie on the mountain and Ethan just had a ball climbing on all the rocks.
