Joke on Danny

Lets just start this one by explaining Danny to those of you who don't know him. He is always trying to pull a joke or something on some one. So I took a turn and got him back. It is not very often that he is on the receiving end of a joke. While I was in North Carolina a got a positive pregnancy test. (I had my tubes tied after Matthew. So the chances of that are slim to none.) Any ways, after giving the kids their shirts and showing him mine, he asked if I got him anything, so I said yes as a matter of fact it is in my bag. Well he got in the bag a pulled out a positive test. He freaked out. All the color ran from his face and all he could say was NO WAY! I was laughing so hard. He just kept saying "You have to be freaking kidding me." Then after a few minutes he turns to me and says " I'm telling you right now, you better tell me if this is a joke." After realizing how upset he was getting I had to tell him that of course it was a joke. But man was it funny!

Thanksgiving

This year was a very nice Thanksgiving. Danny's brother and his family came into town from Indiana and spent a few days with us. We ate a lot of food and the kids all played and had a good time. It was really fun watching Matthew and his cousin Brayden playing together. Brayden is only 5 months older, but this was the first time when they were together that they actually played. The company was fun and the food was good, but the weather was perfect. The kids were able to go outside and play. And best of all the kids all got along. There was no fighting or any thing. I hope everyone had as good of time as I did.

North Carolina

This past week my mom and I took a trip to Cherry Point Marine Corp Base to spend some well needed time with my brother and his family. For those of you who don't know my brother is a marine and I had not seen him or his family in two years and in Feb. he will be headed to Iraq to fight for our country. I am so proud of him. So any way mom and I went to see him. I had a great time. As much as I wish I could have taken my kids with me I am glad that I did not. It gave me a chance just to be an Aunt. I had so much fun with Austin and Alex. I snuck footballs in the cart for them and took them to Chuck E. Cheeses for lunch. It was great. It is totally amazing how much two little boys can grow in two years. I only hope my next visit with them is not only longer but also not two more years away.

Happy Halloween

Well we survived yet another Halloween. Michael was a ninja, Miranda was a Kitty Fairy and Matthew was a Spider. We went trick or treating down our road and then we went to Harvest Fest at the church. O yeah Danny was a witch. We all seemed to have a good time. This was the first year Matthew really knew what to do. He would walk up to the door and say "Trick or Treat" then would inspect to make sure that they put something into his bag, then he would say "La LA, Happy Ween." It was to funny. For those that don't know La La from Matthew means thank you. That is how he started saying it at 1 and still says it today. Which is pretty cute. So today we are all kind of wiped out and tired but manged to make it through the post halloween. It is not until you have to do it that you realize what you parents went through all those years. I guess they knew what they were saying when they would say "you'll understand when you are a mom!" Man moms sure are smart. Well Good night and I hope you all had a safe and Happy Halloween!
