Halloween Fun


Joe and I took the kids to the Trick or Treat at the Mill pond. Unfortunately the kids Trunk or treat got canceled due to a lack of participation. We went through the building and got lots of goodies. They really did a great job with the decorating. The kids had fun but I think it might be time for Pierce to be done. Really at 11? I think so. He has very little interest in the whole costume/candy racket. Why are my children not motivated by candy? Seriously when I as little we went out for a full 2 hours, planned the route ahead of time and were beat down tired when we were through. My children could go around one block and ask to go home.

Last weekend our friends Sam and Kristie came over and we went to the Terror in Townsend forest at the Waterford Sportsmen's club. We had a few cocktails and a good time. Joe was not able to stay with the group and we had to leave em.

I got the results back from my sleep study. I do not have sleep apnea. I probably do not have narcolepsy(thank God) but I am oddly tired. I was able to sleep from 9 until eight the next morning and then take 5 naps the next day. At each nap I fell asleep within 2.4 minutes. I told you people I was tired! See Julie matching issues, we really are family! I originally went in because of the crazy sleepwalking/talking but the biggest issue was my nodding off while driving. Not Safe! They gave me a drug called Provigil, it's like speed. I took it yesterday at 9am and did not fall asleep until 3am. I may need a lower dosage. Of course the doctor recommended I lose weight, as they all do. The skinny hag behind the counter highlighted that area for me. She was so lucky I am both fat and tired or I would jumped threw the little window!

Clare's Baptism









I took a few pics at Clare's Baptism......Still waiting on Jackie to send me the rest. The ceremony went well. Of course with the Last name beginning with A we got to go first. We kinda just guessed and it all worked out. No one dropped the baby so that was good. It was wierd being at a Catholic church ceremony. It almost felt like being an alien from another planet observing customs. The church I went to as a child did the whole sit, stand ,kneel thing. There was no kneeling but twice as much sit and then stand. I learned there can be two preachers but one is a deacon because he was married before he became a preacher. Does that sound right? I think that was it. Clare was absolutely beautiful in her white dress!

Halloween......


It's Halloween again. This weekend we went to the Millers (not related) annual Halloween Party. One again Dan and Cindy topped last year. There were bounce houses, a straw pit, fishing, ghost toss, a golden goose, frankenstein golf, sack races, walk the plank and all kinds of awesome kids stuff! Then there was the Haunted House. Once again a fabulous job. Joe got to be a scary creature this year. I got a behind the scenes look when I went over Friday and Cindy and I created a room of balloons. They were hung everywhere with fishing line. Both my toes and fingers were numb but in the end it was really cool.

A Big Congrats to Dan and Cindy who renewed their wedding vows at the party. 15 years is a long time.

Today I went shopping and bought the boys some school pants. Pierce is in the middle school this year so he can wear cargo pants. He is very excited about that.

Joe is out hunting. I hope he gets a deer early this year. He was quite angry he woke up late today.
