She Did It Again

Again...marvelous pictures by Mandy Paige.
Here is a sneak peek...you know Type A-Anal Retentive me can't reveal the Christmas card pics before they are mailed out!

In LOVE with these 3 mo-mos!

Lucky Little Lady Of Leisure

While the boys opened presents for their birthdays back in September, Little Miss Brooke was not to be forgotten. She got a late birthday/early Christmas gift from Grandma Jenny and Grandpa Bill.

Doesn't every little girl need a pink kitchen?!

She LOVES her kitchen and is constantly making us cheeseburgers and Iced Tea (2 faves of Grandma Goshorn) and is nice enough to share the space with her brothers.

We have since moved the kitchen up to her bedroom and, thus far, there have been no midnight runs to the fridge to play.

Santa might be bringing her a table and chairs so she can play tea party this winter.
Another favorite activity? "Ladies of Leisure."

Yes, she says that.

Ladies of Leisure is when she and Grandma Goshorn or Mommy or Grandma Jenny take her shopping, out to lunch or any other "girls only" activity.

One lucky little (spoiled) lady.

ARGH!

I accompanied Will and several classes from his school Friday to see the Cincinnati Children's Theater Presentation of
"How I Became A Pirate."

This was my date!

We had a really great time - so much so, I think we are going to try and hit up the holiday show.

Brooke had a "Ladies of Leisure" Day with Grandma Goshorn. Everywhere from First Watch for Brunch to Penneys to Kroger and all kinds of stops in between. They were busy.

Last night, all the boys and I went to Jack's Fall Festival at school.
Here is a sneak peek at Halloween...

Are they hilarious or what?!
Have a great weekend!

Happiness Is...

A new pair of jammies.
That goes for any age, if you ask me!

First Field Trip for Jack

Friday, Jack had his 1st Field Trip of the year - and of course we went to a Pumpkin Patch! I met Jack there and he arrived with all the other Kindergarteners crammed onto one bus - bonus of having all little people!

Jack's class lined up for a walk in the patch.

Proud of the pumpkin he picked out!

Jack and Mommy

And what were the other 2 children doing while Jack and I were frolicking on a beautiful fall day?
Will's greeting to his father that evening sums it up best:

"Dad - the cops came."

Yep...Will learned that dialing 9-1-1 does not connect you to Mommy's cell phone. It makes 2 cop cars show up at your house and scare the bejeezels out of you.
And scare the bejeezels out of Grandma Goshorn, too.

Ahhh...just another normal day at The Goshorn Home.
You are welcome to stop by anytime.
Just watch out for the cops.

Lovely - Part II

Remember this lovely post?
Here is Part II.

Today Brooke and I were driving to pick up Will at school and we drove by the scene of the crime - Dillards.

From the backseat Brooke says
"Mommy...that is the place where I spit. YU-CK! Gross!"

Couldn't have said it better myself...
except for maybe by the man that had to clean it up.

Hope YOU Are Not Missing Out

We, the
always-watch-family-oriented-educational-programming-
Goshorn Family
certainly hope
YOU
are not missing out on the best show on television.

Of course I am talking about

BILLY THE EXTERMINATOR!
Tuesday nights on A&E.

He comes on too late for my crew so we DVR it
(can I get a holla! for the best invention EVER!)
and then watch it together as a family.
He teaches you about all kinds of animals, where they live, if they are venomous, how to catch them and return them to their natural habitat...all with a mullet and a Louisiana twang.

This here's some good TV!
