It’s been just a little bit crazy here:
- Friday: My boss emailed me around noon and asked if we had staff scheduled for the after hours rental that night. My response was something along the lines of “tell me your kidding because I don’t know anything about it.” Whoever schedules things forgot to pass this [...]

1 little, 2 little, 3 little indians
Kenny had a Thanksgiving feast at school today. The kids dressed up in their Indian gear and ate a lot of turkey, ham, muffins, popcorn and fruit.

This was one of Kenny’s homework assignments. We had to work together to disguise our turkey so he would be safe on Thanksgiving Day. We turned ours [...]

Oh Christmas tree
Our Christmas tree is up and the inside of our house is decorated for the holidays. I didn’t take out as many decorations as usual. I figure that less is best (or safer) this year with Luke and Mac running wild in the house.
Can you believe it? I got a picture where they are both smiling.

No, maybe, yes
When all the talk of the H1N1 virus started, I had no plans to get myself or my kids vaccinated. I knew the symptoms of H1N1 could be bad but I wasn’t sold on the safety of the actual shot.
But, then Kenny’s school district sent out a permission slip for free H1N1 shots for any kids [...]

Our Halloween
This Halloween was a lot of fun because #1, I didn’t have to carve our pumpkin and #2 Luke really got it. Luke had so much fun going up to the different houses and saying yelling “trick or treat”. He and I went with Eric and Kenny almost all the way around the block and then [...]

Jack-o-lantern
My dad took on the *fun* job of carving our pumpkin this year.
Here are the guys deciding on their course of action. Kenny wanted the pumpkin to have a nose, a toothy smile, 2 eyebrows and 3 eyes.
Luke wanted his hands washed as soon as he touched the pumpkin guts.
The three guys and the finished product.
Thanks Dad! [...]

Bullet points
Kenny had his last soccer game today. I really can’t say that I mind too much, considering how cold it has been lately. We’re having lunch with the team tomorrow and then we’ll all go our separate ways.
Kenny starts basketball at the end of November. He’s doing it with his friend J.T. (from preschool) for sure and [...]

Eric on t.v.
One of the news stations did a story on the training that Eric is running up at the station. Click here to see it.
He did a good job, didn’t he?

San Diego – day 5 (last one, I promise)
Day 5 didn’t involve much except for:
1. Me trying to talk Eric into moving out there
2. Flying home to KC. This flight did not go as well at first. I have to start out by explaining that Luke’s feet were touching the back of the seat in front of him because of the way his car [...]

San Diego – day 4
Our friend Steve is in the Navy. On Sunday he took us all out to the base to look at the helicopters, which made Kenny and Luke’s day. Luke even cried when it was time to go.
After that, we headed out to La Jolla to go to the Birch Aquarium. The kids had fun but I think we’ll [...]

San Diego – day 3
Day 3 was all about Ali’s baptism.
Eric and I were lucky enough to be her godparents. I offered to buy Ali a baptismal gown but they already had one from Suzie’s side of the family that had been used since 1914. So instead, I bought her a charm bracelet. I put two charms on it, one with [...]

San Diego – day 2
We were up by 7:00 the next morning. Legoland didn’t open until 10 so we went to the beach. This was the first time that either boys had seen the ocean. It was G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S.
The water was a little too cold to swim in so we just played on the beach and walked in the water. [...]

San Diego – day 1
We left for San Diego last Thursday. We decided to take an afternoon flight so Kenny could go to school in the morning. This was Kenny’s 2nd flight and Luke’s 1st. Luke didn’t understand that you don’t just walk onto your plane when you get to the airport and kept asking demanding to go to San [...]

Happy anniversary
Seven years ago, I married the love of my life. Or as I like to call him, my Darcy.
That night, we danced our first dance to Make You Feel My Love, which became our song after seeing Hope Floats on our first date.
I love you Eric.

First soccer game of the season
Here were some highlights from Kenny’s soccer game today. The kids still completely played bunch ball but at least this year no one was playing in the dirt.
Kenny is #17 on the blue team with white socks.
And here’s Luke pretending to be a pillow for Amanda. She would pretend to lay on him and as [...]

School, work and play
- Kenny is having a great time at kindergarten. We had his back-to-school night last Wednesday and it sounds like he can do the majority of the things they want to accomplish by the end of the year. He’s already reading and knows his numbers. We have to work on counting to 100 by 5’s [...]
