On Top of Spaghetti . . . . . .

The girls favorite book lately has been, "On Top of Spaghetti" by Paul Brett Johnson.  We have seriously read it a dozen times over the past couple of days.  We started out reading it once a night but it has grown into a down right obsession.  Of course, after reading we must sing the song written by Tom Glazer and make sneezing noises throughout!

 We decided to add meatballs to the grocery list so we could have our very own spaghetti and meatball dinner.  The girls were so excited and we all had to take turns sneezing and protecting our meatballs!

So much for the fork????

"So if you eat spaghetti
 all covered with cheese,
hold on to your meatball
and don't ever sneeze!"

Catching Up!!!!

We spent Thanksgiving with Meme and Papa.  Of course, the brothers and their families joined us.  The girls "helped" my mom in the kitchen to learn how to make her famous dressing.  I am the taste tester not the cook.  I did have to wash the dishes that night which was not fun . . . . I hate doing dishes!  The girls had a great time playing with their cousins and eating lots of turkey and sweets

 We were able to make it to the Philbrook Family Day despite the Tahoe breaking down on us.  The girls and I walked to Mc D's, grabbed some lunch and ate in the back of the car while waiting on the tow truck. . . . great memories!  Meme drove up to save the day and we still had a great fun filled day of art.

 I love watching the girls during art time.  It is amazing to see their little hands and minds working.  Each of them have their own take on projects.  Gabi is my perfectionist, Isabella is very thorough and Carmella is my statement maker.
Carmella was not interested in showing her art.
