Happy Halloween, Pardner

He couldn't *not* use this opportunity to wear his cross-draw holster out in public.

No, Mom, I'm not going to get cold.

Everything Gets Crazy

when Ross is over.

Would You Believe This...

wasn't the ugliest sweater (no offense Grandma B, in fact, we say thanks!)?  Grant said the ugliest was actually a sweater with a Santa on it. That musta been one rough looking Santa.

Either the Kids Have Been Exposed

...to too much Project Runway, or it's Crazy Sock Day.

FUNd Run

Yesterday was Caroline's school fundraiser.  Nothing to sell, just a straight-forward donation to the PTO, rewarding the kids for being "on the move for their school."  She ran just over 3 miles and it was a hot one!  I had sweat running down my back just standing there as a helper and yes, that would be the extent of my running. 

My Explanation

 

So, I thought that now we have somewhat decent Internet, I’d be posting all kinds of funny stories and memories and picture series, and yeah… I haven’t.  A few shots and a couple of lines typed on my phone and that’s been it lately.

And you know why?  Here’s just some sample excerpts taken between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. this morning so you see, it’s stuff like this:

Mom, I need a costume this week like a colonial farmer would wear in 1810. 

Mom, when were overalls even invented? 

No, Mom, it needs to be something else.

Mom, we *need* to have french fries with our chicken patties for supper.

Mom, we’re out of bread. 

Mom, my wrist hurts and I can’t do cartwheels!

Mom, can you wrap my wrist? 

Mom, watch me!!

Mom, I have to play (tuba) at the girl’s basketball game afterschool and I don’t know what time but can you pick me up?

Mom, I need to make a thing out of popsicle sticks by Thursday.  I dunno, maybe buy a 1,000?

Mom, that’s not my toothbrush!

Mom, is baton tonight?

Mom, can you drive me to school?

Mom, there’s a phone message for Dad.

Mom, you just got a text.

Mom, can you please help me open this?

Mom, how do we know how much data usage we have left?

Mom, why can’t we have DirectTV so we can have AMC?

Mom, where’s my ‘Move’ t-shirt?

Mom, can we have music on?

Mom, we still need to get Rumor Has It!

Mom, are you coming to the Fun Run today?

Mom, what do you think the cats should eat for lunch?

Mom, I need a new sweatshirt that has no words or designs on it and is exactly the same color as the one I had before and, no, it can’t be anything even slightly different so, yes, you need to go to every store in our town today and find one that I will accept. 

(Not exactly verbatim but the general message.)

And that must be where my time goes!

Fall Field Trip

Great day for a nature walk with Caroline's class at the Watershed.

Not so great of a day for Gary trying to get to Norfolk, VA.  Last I heard from him, he missed his flight, took another, and was eating lunch in Detroit.
