Nathan's costume

As you can see, Nathan was less than enthused to be Mickey Mouse for Halloween.

Family Pix 2008

These did NOT come out very well. On the upside, the kids cooperated with us. Still, it's hard to get 5 ppl in a shot without someone screwing it up...

Where's Nate-o?

I couldn't fine Nate AGAIN... I thought he was in the pantry. For one thing, I thought I heard movement in there (and I DID hear movement in that vicinity- but you'll figure this out in paragraph 2). Also, a few days ago I heard him screaming "MAAAAMEEE!". I searched the whole house and found that he had locked himself inside the pantry with the lights out.

Well, this time he wasn't in the pantry. I poke around and find him locked in A.J.'s closet. He's sitting on the floor in there with A.J.'s halloween basket (from Grandma). He's got his fists full of starburst candy, chips strewn about, Scooby snacks all over the floor, and a look of total shock and innocence on his face.

Did you figure out that A.J.'s closet and the pantry share a common wall?

Austin's kindergarten picture

Got the pic today... what do you think?? (not a trick question)

AJ's Robot

AJ made this robot from legos. He said, "when I pull the robot's head off, he says 'hi mom'... isn't that kinda creepy?"

Indeed it is!

Also, today another kid pushed AJ at school. AJ apparently bumped into the wall. (No big deal, but he got a band-aid). Anyways, on the way home from school I ask AJ, "well, was it an accident, or was it on purpose?" AJ responds, "It was ON PURPOSE! And if he does it again, I'm gonna put him in the arm bar!" (its a move the boys learned in Jiu Jitsu).

How 'Bout Them Rays?

Before we moved here, the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays were the laughingstock of baseball, never winning more than 70 games in a season. The year we move here, the Rays win 97 games and beat the Red Sox to win the American League pennant. Coincidence?

Anyway, it's been a fun ride. I've been watching them all season, and I've really gotten into them. Nina and I have been watching the playoff games togather. Good thing they're not playing the Cardinals in the World Series, because it would be really, really hard to root against the Rays.

Cute pic

Dave took this pic when Grandma went to the zoo with the boys. Very cute!

AJ fell asleep

The boys went to bed late last night. Today has been...um, difficult. And, let's say, "Sucky". Anyways, AJ fell asleep on the floor at 4pm.

Halloween Treats from MO

The boys got a box of Halloween treats from Grandma and Papa today. They got baskets with Skittles, chips, and cookies and they also got some light up Halloween decorations. The whole time I was building the decorations, Nathan was saying, "woooooo!" and bringing over his Oreos and Skittles and giving them to me to open them. Then, Austin wrote "Boo" on the chalkboard all by himself! AJ got a basket that looks like a giant spider... and he said, "he's SMILING at me!"


The pic with the kids here is funny bc I specifically said, "don't eat the candy all at once". If you look at Austin's face, you can see him clearly ignoring my instructions.

AJ has a little light up pumpkin bear dressed up as a witch. I asked him what it's name was and he said, "Barry Scary" - the way he pronounced it, it sounded like 'Very Scary'.. I doubt he meant to be that clever, but I thought it was genius.

Trick or Treat!

Dave and I think it's VERY safe to make children's Halloween costumes in jet black. It said on the package that they are also not flame retardant and are made from asbestos.

Where's Nate-o??

INSIDE THE FREAKING CURIO, OF COURSE!

A Young Bath Cut Short.

Nate made a holy mess at tub time. Needless to say, he was dragged out kicking and screaming.

Flat Stanley

So today I come home during lunch, open up my mail and find an intriguing proposition. Austin has sent me (and maybe some of you) a guy known as Flat Stanley. It's a great premise...send Flat Stanley all over the country, or the world, and have the people you send him to record his adventures.

I put him in my pocket and took him to my middle school classes this afternoon. I guess I am late to the party on this one, because nearly everyone I showed him to already knew about him. The seventh grade french horn girls I teach everyday were eager to tell me where they sent theirs. They thought he was adorable, especially Austin's handwritten name on the back.

I promise to make Flat Stanley's time with me worthwhile. Let's see where we can take him!
