Boo to You

    I guess it's been a month now since Halloween passed, maybe I'll get caught up with long ago events someday.  We had a great Halloween week and weekend.  Edi was Dorothy, Amelia was Glinda the Good Witch, and John Mac was a Munchkin from the Land of Oz.  He was suppose to be the Lion, but he did not like the costume, the furry part around his head was going to stay on due to all his tugging, so I had to improvise.  On Wednesday night before Halloween we went to my cousin's church for their Trunk-or-Treat festivities.  On Thursday Amelia had a party at school and Friday the kids didn't have school so we decided to make it a pizza and Movie night.  The girls helped me make homemade pizzas, they really enjoyed picking out their toppings and watching it cook.  On Saturday we had our church Truck-or-Treat and that night we went Trick-or-Treating in the town where I work and Amelia goes to Preschool.  Our area wasn't trick-or-treating until Sunday night and I was not going to get the kids all dressed up again when I already had them dressed for our Trunk-or-Treat.  We were able to visit a lot of family while Trick-or-Treating and that is always nice.  Hope everyone had a great Halloween.

                                                                                                 

Happy Birthday Daniel!!!........2+ Months Late!!!

     Well, I know this one is really late, but we celebrated Daniel's 40th Birthday at the end of September.  He and his dad both have September birthdays, so we do their family party together.  At the family party his parents surprised him with a rifle that was made for Boy Scouts of America with the Eagle Scout emblem on it.  The company made 2 rifles related to BSA this year, the Eagle Scout one and a 100th Anniversary one. Daniel of course thought that would be his only party, but I had other plans.  On his actual birthday he took off work and played golf, so while he was gone the girls and I made signs for inside the house and for the mailbox(so everyone would know he's 40) and we decorated the house.  He knew I had invited Amber to dinner, but he did not know that I had also invited his parents.  We enjoyed chicken pastry, butter beans, hushpuppies, and a Smores' Cheesecake.  Two days after his actual birthday; myself, along with lots of help from our families and friends, threw him a surprise party.  He had no idea!  It was so much fun!

     Thanks Daniel for being such a Wonderful Husband and Father!  

I Love You Very Much!

Happy Belated Birthday Daniel and Granddaddy!!!

Mischief Abounds

    Last week John Mac started climbing out of his crib and usually he is loud and knocks on the door calling, "Mommy, Mommy" until I go get him.  Well, Saturday afternoon after his nap was a different story.  I thought he was asleep until I started hearing noise coming from his room that could not be made by things in his crib.  So I went in his room and found him on the changing table with all kinds of things opened and pulled apart.  He had pulled all the wipes out of the box, gotten out lots of Q-Tips, opened a pack of Go Fish cards that Amelia had left in his room, opened a zip lock bag with various baby items, and was taste testing the hand sanitizer.  Luckily he did not get the baby powder.  I ran and got the camera before I got him down.  He also had his sleeper half unzipped.  It was a PJ kind of day.  He was so proud of himself.  He must have pushed his firetruck up to the desk, pulled out the drawer, and climbed on up.  Too Funny!

    Then today Amelia had moved one of the kitchen chairs over the counter to help me make lunch.  Well, before we got started I went to change shirts and when I came back about 3 minutes later he had gotten a hold of the huge tub of peanut butter on the counter(it's so big it won't fit in the cabinet), opened it, and then used the gigantic spoon(spoon rest) to dip out his yummy treat.  I immediately started laughing, I could not scold him because it was just too darn cute!
