Lost and Forgotten October Post











Here are a few photos g-ma took for us in October because I was too self-involved with the whole Cancun thing that I forgot to take any pictures. Thanks Mom, you're the best.
Here's Halloween, of course. And T-dog's 10th birthday. And a few random pictures g-ma took whist she was here. It was great having Gandma in town for Halloween and T-dogs birthday for the first time. It was a great October :o)

Wow, a New Blog Post

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except for Mom.
Well, me and the dog that was just barking at the sound the computer made just a minute ago.
SO, since I am up waiting to download pictures from a FULL memory disk, I thought I would type you to death so I wouldn't fall asleep.
I just tucked papa in his kerchiff into bed for a long winter's nap, (a few hours ago). He's trying to get rid of a cold, so I am doing this evenings festivities all by myself. It is kinda quiet and I'm sorta jumpy--listening out for kiddoes.
Hmm, SO, here's an interesting tid bit of information: I accidentally on purpose let it slip about the big man in the red suit to Puppy tonight.

I was tucking him into bed and he gave me a new (for the 27th time) updated list of the pokemon that he wanted for Christmas, then he asked me if I had gotten any for him. This is were I precede to tell him that the presents under the tree are all from his Grandmother and Aunts and Uncles; that none were from me. He looked at me in the darkened room with sad eyes and said, "You didn't get me a present?" (Okay, here is when I start to feel bad--of course I had gotten him a present, just its label said Santa!) "After I made you a picture frame and helped Dad pick out a present for you? You didn't get me a present??" Goodness me he looked so sad, what could I do? Now I stepped in it, right?

After promises of keeping the info on the down low, I told spilled the beans. I felt awful for having told him because I flubbed on the whole "I didn't get you a present thang". But, after having thought about it, it was definitely time for him to find out. Perfect timing probably right before he woke up angry that Santa didn't leave him exactly what he asked for. I guess I'm patting myself on the back now. Plus, he feels like a grown up, being in on the secret--that he pinkie promised to keep. Here's hopein'.

Great, now the battery has died on the camera and I guess I'll have to start all over again tomorrow. Guess that's what I get for having a 2gb memory chip, that and procrastination will get you (read me) every time!
