Give Thanks!

The PH hosted a successful Thanksgiving dinner this past Thursday! We kicked off the day with a good old fashioned game of football in Wash Park. It's not important who won, or who lost... what's important is that we got to spend time together on a beautiful day. Aaaand to the opposing team let's just say that we are going to practice hard and come back with a victory next year.
 We hope you had a wonderful day and that everyone is as thankful for each other as we are for everyone in our lives.

Our Thanksgiving Den Mother! The Lovely JM did a wonderful job with the turkeys

We also had a great night of Wizard Sticks. The game where you imbibe beers at a moderate and safe pace and then duct tape them together to create a jousting stick. You team up with a ''steed'' and then joust. Again, it's not important who the victor is... but the teams were Kelsey and Andrew, Norah and Adam and Caiti and Brendan. Obviously, there were several injuries but it was worth it for the joust of a lifetime. 

Hats off to Kelsey and Andrew for being newbie champions of the sport!

Adam's jousting stick is definitely lifted off the ground.

Everyone is still smiling...

Aaaaand JOUST!

Beer can to the face! What will I tell the preschoolers???

Foxtail?

Henry, our beloved furry friend, has been dealing with some issues the past few days. On a hike with Kelsey, he somehow ingested a mysterious plant that has left him with questionable symptoms: eating everything in sight (including couches, trash, fibers of any sort, grass), unquenchable thirst, licking his chops 24/7 (which leaves his whole mouth wet and at times foaming), making a burping sound as he licks his chops, and restlessness. Norah was terrified that it was rabies at first but we are pretty sure that it can be ruled out after the vet trip. Caiti seems to believe this is a result of eating a "fox tail," not fox the animal, it is a plant (kind of like a cat tail, but smaller)

The alleged "foxtail"

Though his health seems to be improving day by day, he had us all worried for a bit. Kelsey and Norah took him to the vet early Saturday morning, however, the vet's advice didn't prove to be very helpful. Turns out that the Bendaryl and love was all he needed to be nurtured...well, that and the weird ball of random ingested objects that he threw up ON my bed...I will love you always Henry, even if you vomit on my bed!


In other news...today is the birthday of Miss Caiti as well as our wonderful friend Nicole! Happy Birthday gals!

Are you in the Market for Basil?

Our Dear Kathryn has quite the green thumb. Her "baby" basil is now quite full and is a potential risk for taking over the kitchen. Kathryn harvests it as often as possible for cooking, but has so much extra basil that when guests come over, she asks; "Are you in the market for basil?"... only something our Rynny would say. Keep up the good work, Ryn! That's one less grocery item the PH has to purchase!

pOoR hOuSe DoEs YoGa

The PH had a wonderfully active day yesterday (video to come). We capped of the night with a group trip to Yoga- all five of us managed to score a free first class! After feeling the power of Om for about an hour and fifteen minutes, we worked up our appetite quite a bit. We came home and made beef stroganoff. The beef was compliments of the lovely J.M. and boy was it delicious! The PH sends its thanks. :)

Poor House Stats

Well. The weekend is coming to an end and the Poor House has taken a beating. All at once, our garbage disposal is broken and does not drain. Kelsey's shower is leaking. Our porch light has been out for about 2 weeks and to top it all off, WE DON'T HAVE ANY HOT WATER. Glad this all came to a head on Sunday, when everyone at the realty office is ready and willing to take our call (NOT).
The residents of the PH don't let these setbacks get them down, however. Stay tuned for a posting of how they spent their day today.
