Scah eeee!

Max quickly learned at his first trip to the store after the Halloween section was put out.......it's SCAH EEE!


Here are Superman and I right before the Harvest Ball.  The kids don't take great pictures.  They probably learned that from me. Maimy can describe that better than I can.


Our annual Halloween dinner.  Swamp slime soup with toad stools, poison apples, troll eyes, zombie fingers, bits n' pieces, and witches brew.  Superman made a dry ice b*o*m*b with the left over dry ice.  Nothing like teaching destruction at FHE.
Riley's entry for the school pumpking contest.  The coolest baseball.  It turned out so well.
Jack's ninja turtle pumpkin/watermellon.  Our pumpkins were too cold to use and every store in town had run out!  That's what you get when you procrastinate.
Helper library Halloween party.  Mads is being wrapped up like a mummy for her team.  Go Tenna and Shelby!
Ri donning her mummy garb.Jack has been rather agreeable to social events
because he finally has a great little buddy to take along.  This was the freaking longest game of musical chairs I have ever had to witness.  Thankfully Riley kicked bootay and won a ticket to the Haunted Parkway and Hayride.  We went to that last night.  It was also put on by the Helper Library as a fundraiser for more reading programs.  We had so much fun being pulled by a horse drawn wagon down Main Street and then walking the Haunted Parkway by the edge of the river.  We heard ghost stories around firepits while the river flowed in the background.  The parkway was also a spook alley.  I took the camera but was so involved that I never took a picture!

P.S.  Blogger.......whatever you did........you did something terribly wrong.  I HATE the new post layout.

Basement Bathroom


Yippee!  The basement bathroom is FINALLY finished.  We waited forever for the plumber to come back and set the toilet. He forgot about us.
I was a little scared about the color of the walls but I was committed not to change it.  Mr. Paint at Spectrum agreed to change the color name from lime green to apple green when I said I wasn't buying anything with lime in the name.  Way to go Mr. Paint.....we made the right choice.  I like it so much I wish it were my bathroom.

New Blog


Well I can't reign myself in so I am starting a new blog that is open.  This one will remain a family/journal sort of blog and the other one will be my ramblings.  It will be based on my BFF Maimy and my struggle to gain control over her. The new blog is naturalmaimy.blogspot.com

Going Private




I'm finally getting off of my lazy duff and making the blog private. I keep using the kid's names and I am sure I am leaking some kind of information. I don't know that anyone would even care who we are........nevertheless..........

Leave a comment with your e mail or you can e mail me or message me on facebook. If you leave a comment I will delete it as soon as I can so that your info. isn't floating around out there.

If you are blog stalking me..........feel free to leave your email too.......I'll be flattered :)
