ahhhhh--quiet

i have the house to myself for 3.5 hours! wow! first- im enjoying all the delicious quiet- i even just heard an airplane fly by!
i love getting time to myself- of course i debate being a bum and just laying around watching movies- or being produductive clean the whole house, etc-
i havent decided yet what i will do-
for now i will listen to no one punching anyone, there are no spills, there are no video games playing, there are no tattle tails, ahhhh quiet!
dax took the kids on a nature hike to get some scout goals done for mason, he even took kennedy-
i hope they do ok- ok here I go turning my quiet time into being a worrysome mom---YIKES!
3.20 left......

jimboys tacos remind me of high school

so being to lazy tonight to cook the boys dinner, we went to jimboys tacos-
the boys love quesidillas, and i get my usual #7
its funny how a taste of something can transport you back to another time, and i remember going to jimboys tacos when we had open campus in 9th grade-
we also went to jimboys when we had home volleyball games in 10-12 grade sometimes for dinner -
if you have never heard or been to a jimboys tacos, they make the best corn tortilla grilled in parmesean cheese! yumm--
from the jimboys website www.jimboys.com
"OUR FAMOUS TACO-A grilled corn tortilla with cheese, lettuce and choice of meat and parmesan sprinkled on the side;the same way it's been made for over 50 years!"
anyway- so tonight i remembered sitting in the booths at jimboys, eating tacos with my friends-
yumm!

DJ the Doodler-- I wonder who BOB is? 

when your kids do stuff like you...

for those of you with kids you will know that over time they do little things like you- either because they saw and learned it from you, or they got it genetically-
it always amazes me when the genetic things pop out- because its interesting how your traits can be passed down--

so I crack up because my middle child DJ has become my doodler- drawing here and there, on scraps of paper, the calendar, the white board, or even my business notes- sometimes he writes his name, sometimes he doesn't, just marks his territory with his pen or crayon or whatever he can get to write with- and leaves his drawing for me to find-

just like his mom, doodling, all over papers, phone books, notes, anything...

OH NO we cant draw, but we do master the art of stick people- its not a nervous habit, not a need or desire- just a doodle-

so for now DJ the doodler, doodles like his mom, it will be interesting to see what other traits will be like me as he gets older---

hopefully he wont sass like his mom did- or try to stuff all his friends in a VW bug, or all the other things his mom did but cant write becasuse her mom will read this! Ah yes, her mom, is used to reading diaries---remember that one MOM!!!!

mason soccer game 

are there pervs in the park...

so yesterday we go to a soccer game - the game took place in a park we had never been too- it was quite nice, and had a great playground-
unfortunatly, the soccer field was a little too far away so I couldnt let the younger boys play alone- so i decided that while masons team was warming up i would let the boys play - and i sat on the bench to watch them-
as i was sitting there, i realized that parks are not relaxing! I couldnt read my magazine i brought because there might be pervs that would snatch up my kids!
i realize that im glad i put kennedy in a bright red shirt, this way i could see him if a perv grabbed him and ran-
so as the soccer game began i lured kennedy to the sidelines with a bogus lie that i have candy becasue i cant let him play at the park- there might even be a kid perv that would do something to my child when i wasnt looking--
and then Dj had to use the restroom, and of course, he had to go with me in the womens side- which he hated- beasuse there might be a perv in the mens room that i wouldnt know about-
while he is doing his business, all i can think about is this is just like the bathroom george michael got arrested in for "that thing he did".
anyhoo- i hate pervs, they have ruined the fact that i cannot relax, in a park, have to bribe my children with candy to stay closer to me, and take my sons into a womens restroom--

It's a Girl-

Look at our new little girl born oct 30th! She is a St Bernard- can you believe this pup will grow to be over 100lbs?
We currently have 'Honey' who is a 5 year old st bernard that we rescued from the SPCA- and I want to introduce a companion to her-
our pup lives in Nebraska right now, we will get her in December- we are actually trading her for a website- hubby will make a st bernard website for the couple who is trading us the pup-
we are so excited!
we havent named her yet- i was thinking biscuit- to go along with 'honey'-
any suggestions?
now there will be 3 bit***s in da' house!!!

It's a Girl! 

OMG!! my son looks like a pumpkin! 

Anakin, Obi-won, Yoda  

May the force be with you...

Yesterday was halloween, we actually stayed home this year and passed out candy- and i took the boys around the neighborhood-
you know some people really put some thought into what they hand out, we got a couple party bags with goodies- the boys' favorite was the hot chocolate packets, and mini microwave popcorn.
we were definatly generous with our candy giving 4-5 pieces per trick-o-treater. Except the 14 year olds dressed in hooded sweatshirts claiming to be a human beings for halloween--
dum-du-dum-dum-dummmmmm

and what is the internatiol symbol for - "we- are- done- with -halloween -and -we -have -no -candy -unless- we- take- some -from- our -childrens loot?"
would that be to turn the front porch light off, the inside lights off, and pretend your not home?
then why do people still ring the doorbell??? I just dont get it- one lady sent her 5 or6 year old kid aka skeleton boy to our pitch dark doorstep, as she sat in her car on the road-- i wanted to throw a pumpkin at her-

i didnt dress up this year, becasue my hips were just too big to pull off being princess leia- the boys went with a star wars theme- every year they MUST match in some way- and NO MASKS! i hate those on kids! So we found some star wars costumes- I found DJs at target- in september, masons i got off ebay- and kennedy- i was tossing back and forth between yoda and chewbacca, but i couldt find a chewbacca for toddler-- the yoda was cute, so we went with that, i ordered a costume oct 3rd- from a place called costume hut out of canada- luckily they never charged my card, and did let me cancel, becasue the week before halloween, it still hadnt arrived, there were some ebayers who wanted up to $70 for this yoda costume- and many online places were sold out, i tried one last internet search and got a link for Party America, ordered the costume, and it was in my hands 2 days later! i was very impressed!
guess what- there will be a yoda costume on ebay next year----
Anyhoo-
maybe ill be a bit more creative next year... now to make my halloween pages for my scrapbook!
