We'll miss you Grandpa

Well, This is the second time this year I have to put a shout out to a loved one. After a long struggle with his health the last year or so, Grandpa has passed away today and is now in a better place. My heart hurts for Mom and Dad, especially Mom. Even though we knew this was coming it doesn't make it easier. I want you all to reflect on how important your family is. Then give them a hug and tell them you love em. I will post later about some fond memories I have of Granpa, until then say a prayer for him and be thankful for what you got!

Don't put Daddy in charge!

What do you get when you mix one so called adult, two eager to please boys, a little hair gel and some down time? Fun for the whole family. I think we could do anything to these two boys and they would still look cute. I don't know what was better watching the boys run around all excited about the new hairdo or the reaction from mom when she got home. Both were priceless. Maybe I am just living out my hair fantasy through them! If I only had some hair. I think that sounds like a song. Anyway, it could have been worse. I didn't use the clippers! The boys stayed that way the rest of the night. Scott said he wanted it to be like that for his Thanksgiving program (which he was an Indian). Shayla said Indians didn't have hair like that but I was first to remind her that yes they did.

Trick or Treat

We had plans for the boys to each be a Lego. Then Scott's plan trumped our plan. after hearing the boys in his class was ging to be a Ninja, Army man and Darth Vader, I guess a Lego is not cool enough. He decided to be a Tae Kwon Do man. That was an easy switch for us. We made Adam's costume with ease in mind. It was very simple and easy, right up my alley. They had a good time trick or treating but I think they had more fun passing out candy after getting home. Shayla, her parents and the boys stayed outside and passed candy out until people stopped coming. I was busy inside looking for razorbaldes, tampered candy and pencils in the candy. (Really I was looking for the chocolate and good stuff to hide from the boys.) 1 holiday down 2 to go. I almost forgot Scott's birthday as well on Dec 7th. Wake me up at the begining of '09.
