So Nana and Papa are on a cruise…I’m jealous, we’re sitting here in the rain while they are sitting on their ship’s veranda heading to Mexico. The funniest thing is that Nana asked Carlos what he wanted her to bring back from her trip and he said, “well, I really want a soft sword…so you need to go into every store and try to find one. If you’ve gone into each store and can’t find one, then you can just bring me back something else.”

Little does Carlos know that I nixed the soft sword thing, so even if she did find one it would be a no go. We’ve tried swords with the boys, they LOVE them and want them but it always ends up badly.

Have a great trip Nana/Papa…we will miss you!

Super Heroes Everywhere


Oh Halloween is so fun! We got all gussied up, the boys as super heroes, me as a punk rocker and Dee as the Joker. In our town there is trick or treating downtown at all of the stores. Our church is right downtown and my favorite part about the event is the creepy organ music they play echoing through the streets as ghosts, ghouls and goblins trick or treat. I love seeing the costumes and running into friends. We finished our trek up and down Winslow Way and went into the church for their hot dog and chili dinner. Love that part, too!
After Winslow we stopped in to see some friends and have the boys trick or treat at their houses. Thank you Godma Ann, Teacher Kathy, Gay and Rob and our neighbors for putting up with our sugar crazed boys tonight.
Happy Halloween!
