We're Stuffed!
We were also happy to find the Whale Chalkboard and our 32 ounce milk-bottle carafe listed as one of Chow.com's top Gifts under $50.



But before I go, I have to relay the best story from Thanksgiving. When packing up the car for the long ride home, I ran out of room in the back and was forced to put a full pumpkin pie on the backseat in between the two car seats (baby Oats and Holly) to ensure its safe arrival. The first half of the car ride home was great...which means that Otis was sleeping, but at the mid-way mark he started wailing like gangbusters. We've never done this before, but we had to pull over on the shoulder and Janet got in the back between the two car seats to try and get baby Oats to calm down...and of course, he did. So fast forward to three hours later in our home kitchen with Janet asking me where I put the pumpkin pie. "In the back between the car seats", I said, not really thinking anything of it. Janet quickly gave me a blank stare: "What?! That's where I was sitting!". So we ran to get the pie and yes, it was more than a bit squashed. But sitting here writing this post I really can't figure out if it's funnier simply that Janet sat on the pie or that she sat on the pie for a full three and didn't even notice. Hmm...
