Today, a song came on the radio as we were driving home from picking Cassidy up at school. I don't know exactly who sings it (Tao Cruz?), but it's a current chart topper with the lyrics "I'm only gonna break break your, break break your heart." Anyway, as Cassidy hears it, she says "Mommy, how could someone break your heart? 'Cuz it's on the
inside of your body. You would need to get magical powers to reach it. And then if you got magical powers, you could break your heart, and then you could use some sticky tape to fix it. Then you could just put it back inside and it's good as new! Like magic!" Ahhh, I love that she can't even fathom the idea of a broken heart! They're just so literal - I bet so many phrases we use each day don't seem to make much sense. I can already see myself telling her this story when she's 16. It's so funny to hear them voice all the thoughts going through their busy little minds.
And Gavin had us cracking up last weekend as he tried to survive the daylight savings switch. Enjoy the video!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday surrounded by family. We started out with Grammy and Grandpa Brown, and enjoyed 
a turkey feast along with Aunt Mel, Uncle Aaron and Cooper. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV (and the annual dog show!) and had fun relaxing and playing the day away. Cassidy and Gavin discovered how much fun it is to crawl around under the table when it's full of people (and a dog) - they were squealing with delight.
At Grandma and Grandpa Reder's house, we celebrated Thanksgiving #2! It was another wonderful meal, complete with 5 homemade pies to choose from for dessert. With 15 people, we 
figured we'd make a good dent in that (although there were actually plenty of leftovers!). The kids vanished into the basement with all the cousins and only seemed to reappear for an occasional snack or hug. It gave Erik and I a welcomed break from our parenting duties!
