Yesterday we were at Souper!Salad!.They only had small pepperoni pizza. I took three of them. Dad said I could take the pepperonis off and he would eat them. I took them of and said "I hope there's no hidden ones" remembering a day at Colina.They only had pepperoni pizza that day for lunch. I took one.Then I took all the pepperonis off. Or so I thought.There were hidden ones.

Apparently my church building has been condemned by the City of Chandler. It looks like we are going to have to get used to church that leads into the boys bedtime and pitch black night. I thought this information was pretty funny. Whose church building gets condemned anyway?

Thanksgiving was nice. My parents and sister Alyssa decided to make a last minute visit to AZ to meet Lucy and so we enjoyed their presence at dinner. Todd, a bit of a foodie, ordered a Turducken off the Internet after much research. Jared and I like Turducken (at least the one Todd bought) which is quite surprising since neither of us like Turkey. The years we have done our own Thanksgiving (which gratefully have been few) we had a Thanksgiving salmon. We also do a Christmas salmon (usually) and sometimes an Easter salmon.

Hey everyone! You will all probably start to notice a pattern. Every three months I am in charge of Sharing Time and when that happens my creativity and desire to write declines. I am busy thinking about Sharing Time.

How do you parent a child who not only can make you laugh at the drop of a dime, but WHO KNOWS he can make you laugh at the drop of a dime? I'm sure my involuntary approach will backfire someday, but I just laugh.

For the past few weeks, I've taken the boys to the park a few nights a week to practice soccer. Usually we play 'monkey in the middle' or we'll setup two goals with cones and scrimmage against each other. Maxwell is the biggest, natural born clown I've ever met. Sara always asks me how it feels to have a twin just like me, but I think Max is way goofier.
