Stuck

Before we put our mailbox up out front we painted it and had it on our porch for a few days.  One day as I was putting away laundry I heard a muffled "Moooooommy, help!"  Panicked, I flew down the stairs following the sound of my child's voice.  This is what I found...Molly, stuck in the mailbox!  As soon as I pulled her out we both sat down and started laughing hysterically.

Happy Halloween

Molly the ladybug and Willy the pirate.  This year for Halloween we went to Sierra Baptist's harvest carnival.  The kids had so much fun last year we were so excited to take them again.  I love church carnivals because it's not just knocking on a door and getting gross amounts of candy.  The kids want to have fun in their costumes most of all.  This way they get to do a little game (digging in sand to find lost treasure, fishing for candy, picking an apple out of water with one of those trash-picker-upper-thingys, you name it!) and get a little prize, not always candy.  We went home with a bag of candy, a baked good from the cake walk, some little toys, and best of all, tired, happy kiddos.  No creepy neighborhoods or awkward ring and no-answer.  No checking the pieces of candy for openings or pin holes where they injected arsenic (no, that was my mom who did that).  Just good, plain fun.  As a matter of fact, I didn't get any pictures this year of the kids at the actual carnival but here are some cute ones of their costumes.

Go Bud!

My brother, Bud is an aspiring actor.  Recently he got a gig with Doritos for a superbowl commercial.  They film a bunch of "spec commercials" which are just short commercials I think, and then choose only a few to play during the superbowl.  From what I understand the way that they choose which specs they will use is by how many viewings there are on any particular one.  That being said, please go view my brother's awesome commercial so that he can play during the superbowl.  Wouldn't that be great?!  Here is the link to view it:  http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/gallery?video=7438

Finally, INTERNET!

Praise the Lord, I have Internet at my house!!!  To be honest, the thing that I have missed the most is watching House M.D. on Hulu every Tuesday night with my husband.  We were 2 episodes in when we moved so they have been piling up in my queue (has anyone besides me ever laughed at the spelling of that word?).  Episode #3 expires on November 30th so I was praying that we would have internet by then.  The installers cut it a little close if you ask me!  But tonight it will all pay off when we get to sit down and House it up for as long as we can stay awake.  I've got 4 hours (I think) stored up so we will see if we can make it.

The second thing I missed was, of coarse checking blogs and blogging myself.  That's good...that means I might actually stick with it.  I was able to check my e-mail quickly (and secretly, hehe) at work but I couldn't muster the courage, or time for that matter, to actually blog at work.  So, please enjoy the series of past events that I will be posting in the future.

Blog you soon!
