Happy Halloween!

Well a rainy one a bit, but we made it through. We went to my work at 3:45 and went trick or treating through the cubicles. Case is a handful to try to go trick or treating with! A lot of people were c0nfused and thought Case was a cow, but he was Corbin's Dalmation puppy since Corbin was a fireman. Case was into everything and tries to take off. We came home and went for a bit outside around the neighborhood. . Once it started raining so hard we brought Case home and drove around with the neighbor girl and her mom. That made it nice since Maddie is 8 and is nice enough to help Corbin. Jade helped for a bit too....she is 14. What nice neighbor girls we have!!!

Bucket Heads!!

I finally dumped my pics off my camera and found this funny picture of Corbin and Carsen when Carsen spent the night at our house. They both thought it would be grand to jump up and down on the air mattress with the trash can top and bottom on their heads. (Don't worry, I don't think the trash can has ever had even a piece of trash in it, it is much more fun to play with!) I think that they had a great time hanging out together and it was nice to have a little visitor!!

Saying the Wrong Things.....

Have you ever said something only to realize the instant it left your lips it wasn't good. A gal I socialize on occassion at work was telling me her husband hurt his back and had to go in for an MRI. She has two little kids (under 5) and his MRI was at like 1 in the morning. She commented that would be interesting. I asked her if her mom would be able to help out. She looked at me and said, "I guess it has been a while since we talked. My mom just signed up for Hospice House as she has cancer." I guess I am not sure if I feel worse about bringing up a bad topic or not being a decent friend and actualy chatting with her in so long. Life is busy and it seems impossible to make time for even half the things you are doing. But I guess the moral of the story is that Life is short, you really have to pick out all that is important to you and focus on it. I really feel bad for my friend, her mom is not that old. I don't even know how I could ever deal with something like that. It puts life and all that it holds in perspective in a big hurry.

Fenn "Bill"

Corbin asks me tonight, "Where does Papa live?" Of course I told him Fennville, but he thought I said Fennbille. He thought that was hilarious. He told me who is that? That is not papa's name. He is too funny. Also tonight after going potty, he comes out in nothing but his undies. So, losing the clothes is taken a little farther today. What a crazy kid!

Work to do!

What a wonderful day! I was telling my neighbor that when you think we might be putting up a Christmas tree the last week of next month is sounds absolutely CRAZY!! We played outside, the boys (yes, all three) took a nap while I cleaned and then it was time to play some more. Kolene sent an old email she found, isn't it funny to think about the attached picture! It was about 1 year ago......my how time flies. Dan is going to his mom's house and taking the bike and carrier. I think the three will go down by the water. I will stick around home and try to do some cleaning. I know what an exciting life I have. :-) Sometimes that is the best way, no drama or bad circumstances to deal with.

Hello Hello

Today was a nice day with a family walk for the Breast Cancer Awareness. I was not real great at raising cash, but it was nice to be with the family and get out in the fresh air. I only have one blister so I can't complain. :-) We all took a nice nap this afternoon so that made for a nice afternoon. Dan wanted a chix burrito so he went to get one from Village Inn. The boys and I spent some time playing outside. Caser was all over the tractor and making all the cute sound effects to go with it. He is such a big boy these days. He has been giving Corbin kisses like mad, it is so cute to see them interact. I can tell they really love each other. I can only hope they will grow up to be the best of friends. Corbin is funny these days too. I swear everytime he goes to the bathroom at night he comes out missing some form of clothing. Usually he loses the pants and runs around in his undies and shirt. However, tonight it was the shirt. With winter coming he will have to change his ways!! He was mildly perturbed with me this morning for not taking him to papa and G-ma's since Carsen was going, but he got over it quick. More to come.......
