Family: “A social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space.” - Evan Esar



My Joys

My joys today…

(Popcorn Popper)…a little piece of Heaven I ordered on Ebay. We popped some last night and it brought back so many childhood memories. It even looks like the one we had growing up with the yellow and black base.

(Spacious Driving with automatic windows)…we have crossed over into two car kingdom as of yesterday. We purchased a mommy-mobile to prepare for our third child. I must it admit it’s like driving in the lap of luxury. Soooo many perks that the little Kia does not have. I am in driving HEAVEN!

(Candles)…just comforting and nice.

(Talking)…with Steve. It is so fun to just chat and visit about life. I love our times together.

Fall Fun

Here are some photos from the week of Halloween. Of course I’m posting them a month later! That tells you how much I love Halloween. I read about the holiday and it seems pretty pointless. I guess it is fun to dress up and kids love getting bagfuls of sugar, so I’ll enjoy it because they enjoy it. I’m just not creative and I don’t like all the sugar. So I’m the scrooge for Halloween. Don’t tell! Overall the week was fun. It started with the Aggie Parade on Saturday and the famous Pumpkin Launch in College Ward. That there is some good redneck fun. Three guys in College Ward built these gigantic pumpkin launchers and tried to hit an old car and a target with the pumpkins. You have to see it to believe it. And don’t forget the Pumpkin Walk in Hyde Park. It’s all the rage at Halloween. Another night we carved pumpkins with our little family. On Halloween we ate at Dave and Laura’s house and went trick-or-treating with Sarah and Jake von. Lauren was a witch and Ava had two costumes. For a few of her many parties she was Snow White. Then on Halloween when we were getting ready she had a surge of creativity and wanted to be the dancing version of Strawberry Shortcake. So she wore a black skirt over her pants. It was a fun filled night!
