Pumpkin Patch fun!

So we went to the pumpkin patch yesterday. We were actually a little disappointed. Due to the drought, the pumpkins were all tiny and some were kind of soft. They had a nice playground though for the kids to play on. We actually ended up just buying a few small ones and then went to the commissary yesterday afternoon for our big ones!

Just some more Harry Potter silliness...

Dumbledore is WHAT!!?!

Okay, so apparently JKR revealed during her book tour that the D-Man was gay. Oooookay. So much for the fandom idea that he and Minerva were an item...
Seriously though, if you read Book 7, you probably felt that it was alluded to. hmmm....
I realize that my time is running short to make costumes. Need to get moving on that or we'll be in trouble.
David was supposed to go to the Pumkin Patch for a field trip yesterday but it has been POURING rain so it was cancelled. They still have my 7 bucks though...
I hate school fundraisers. Well, I don't Hate hate them. They just make me feel bad, asking everyone to send money or whatever. We just finished the ............ oh MY HECK!!!! I just jumped up and ran to the kitchen cause in writing this I just realized that the cookie dough money was due TODAY!!! And we actually have a lot of orders on our sheet!!! Crap! Good thing I'm on the PTA....I'll just go email them now.....
Ok, that's done. Sheesh. Durhh.
Seriously though...
So anyways...I put a good 3 hours in the hot sun on wednesday afternoon decorating the front yard with a bunch of neighborhood kids and some friends. They are having a house decorating contest next week. I don't necessarily want to win but I want to at least compete. So I even went so far as to get a large box and cover it in papier mache, set it out in the sun to dry, and then spray paint it to look like a crypt in the middle of my large graveyard. My tombstones say: RIP Bin Laden, RIP Clinton Campaign, RIP Kim Jong Il, RIP Voldemort, RIP Britney's Career, and RIP My High School Figure....
And I have skeletons and ghosts and lights and crap all over my yard.....and what happens??? It rains all day yesterday and today......my crypt is now a cardboard box again and my ghosts have passed out on the grass....I am not even going to attempt to fix it till the day before the contest, as I also am going to create a pumpkin massacre in the front yard too and have to wait on that anyhow....all that work....down the drain...quite literally.....
sigh...
So that's about it.
That's the interesting (interesting?) bits anyways...
I will post a pic of the yard when it is back up to snuff....

Little Man...

So, the little guy has hit the raspberry stage. There's baby spittle on the keyboard as we speak.

"Hi, Sammy! "
"PPppppppbbbthhhh"
"You're so cute!"
"PPppppppppbbbbthttthhh"
"Do you want a bottle?"
"Pppppppbbbtttttttthhhhh"
"Should we go outside?"
"ppppppPPPPpbbbthhhhhh"
"I love you"
"PPPPPpppppppbbbbtthhh"

Busy again

So we did it...we broke down and bought another car. It's a black 96 Ford Explorer with a billion miles on it but we wanted something we could easily pay cash for. So we did. And now Nathan has something he can drive around post and doesn't have to bum rides or wait for me to come get him. It seems to be in great shape and the guy gave us a 30 day sort of warranty in writing that if it dies, he will give us our money back. So it felt like the right thing to do. And it's big enough for the whole crew. Besides, we aren't gonna put that many miles on it and if we want we can trade it in for something else when we're done here, or just resell it.
Anywho...watched General Conference this weekend. Really good. This sunday afternoon session made me laugh a lot. It was good stuff, always makes you reevaluate things you could be doing better in your life. At least to me it does.
Bought my costume yesterday. Attaching picture. I am going to doctor it to make it look more Bellatrix-ish. I have decided to make Sammy Harry Potter. I figured we couldn't do the Harry Potter thing without a Harry Potter so he will be easy. I will just pencil some glasses and a scar on his cute face and make him some black robes. We still haven't figured out what Nathan is doing.... A friend recommended Isaac be Dobby... heehee!...but he wants to be a ghost...so (SPOILER ALERT) I will make him Dobby's ghost!!!! Y'know....since Dobby bit it in the last book....
David is still going to be a vampire.


Cleavage not included.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Before school...

I had the boys outside this morning cleaning up the yard toys cause they are *supposed* to come and mow today...well, there was a dandelion and David said he wanted to take it to school for his teacher. I said, "Why don't you just blow it now and make a wish." He blew it and said, "I wish everything was back to normal."

what?

Pug in a Johnny Jumper...
