Thanksgiving with Twins

Okay.....here we go!  Thanksgiving is Thursday and I'm completely unpreparred.  My dad was going to come down for a visit Wed-Sunday, however he now has the Flu so he won't make it.  I hate it too!  He was really looking forward to seeing his grand-babies!  So I thought, well...now I'm off the hook. No need to make a huge dinner for Jorge, me and Chris.  OH NO!  Jorge isn't having it.  I suggested we just go out to eat this year considering it would be hard to make all that food with two 5 month olds, but Jorge doesn't want to be one of those families who goes out to eat on Holidays.  I understand and appreciate his want to keep a tradition, but I have NO IDEA how I'm going to make it work. I can barely get myself out the door in the morning for work much less cook a Thanksgiving meal.  I even asked if we could get a turkey breast and skip the big bird.  NO WAY!  It must be the real thing with stuffing, sweet potatos, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings.  Lord help me because I will probably lose my mind trying to do this.  I look forward to having four days off of work, but I'm sure I'll need it to recouperate after this fiasco that's coming on Thursday!  Keep me in your prayers please!

Caffine

I'm in dire need of caffine right about now.  On the way to work this morning I decided not to stop at the Quicky Mart and purchase my morning Elixer of Life aka Diet Coke.  I thought I would just get one out of the machine instead at work. WRONG!  Some idiot can't seem to operate a simple Coke machine and stuck all of their quarters in it at one time causing a traffic jam of coins.  This is not good.  Now I'm stuck at work, by myself and there are no options for caffine.  Samuel was up at 1:30 and didn't go back to sleep until 3am, then Isaiah woke at 3:00 to a stuffy, snot filled nose.  Jorge took that shift but I help suck the snot out of his nose.  He finally went back down at 4am.  No sleep, no caffine....it is going to be a long day!

Dedication Day for Samuel & Isaiah

Dad & Isaiah, Mom & Samuel

My Sweet Sam

Yesterday my boys were dedicated to the Lord in front of our family and church family. It was such a special day and we had so much fun. I especially loved spending the day with my family. My aunt, grandmother and two cousins were all in town for the ceremony. Isaiah and Samuel looked so cute! They were so well behaved during church too. I just don't think I could feel any more blessed!  It is a day I will never forget.
