Happy Halloween (a day early)!

Since we are going to Sharla's tomorrow and crashing her neighborhood party, we had to celebrate Halloween tonight with our first annual "Gross Out Dinner". We had...

Mummy Wraps...

Eyeballs and Spiders...

Fried Brains...

Bloody Lady Fingers....

Giant Spider Eyes...

Blood to drink...

And for dessert, the traditional worms and dirt!

Yes, it took way too long and yes, I was tired after working all day...but it was well worth it. I love Halloween!

And here are my goblins.

I like this!

The church office brought this over today to let us get a good laugh. It had come in the mail. Anybody want to go?

The old and the new

Everyone is posting videos so I'm going to try. Here is Andrew's baseball game from today. I tried to catch him batting but the kid batting right before him hit the first pitch and then so did Andrew. I didn't have enough time to set up...but I got him running the bases.

(OK. Never mind. I got tired of waiting.....)

Also, I am posting the "new" Ally picture. (Stop nagging me, Sharla). In the last 6 weeks, she has gotten her ears pierced, gotten new glasses and CUT her hair.

Here is how much hair she cut off...



And here she is....

Sniff Sniff Pt. 3

Okay, this is just ridiculous now! I went back to the eye doctor today and I STILL have an infection. It's not any better and I am following all her rules! Oh, and she told me that apparently I have white spots on my eye. So now I have to go see a cornea specialist... in downtown Fort Worth or way up in Hurst. Maybe I'll just gouge my eyes out and save myself all this bother. (at least she gave me my glasses prescription so I can get out of these scratched ones.)

Sniff Sniff Pt. 2

Waaaaaaaa! I went back to the eye doctor today and I STILL have an infection in both eyes! But for this week, I only have to use the drops three times a day instead of bathing in it. Progress but still wearing 80's style, scratched, wrong prescription glasses that give me a headache everyday!

So to make myself feel better, I'll watch this.....




Thank you, Sharla for getting "Dat's mah head" stuck in mah head all day.

All I can say is that I'm glad I'm not wearing eye makeup right now.

Today our school maintenance man, Teddy, came to school for a visit. (He was in a motorcycle accident about a month ago and is still recovering). All the children lined the main hall to cheer him as he came in the door. Then one of our third graders led the most beautiful prayer. Between seeing how well Teddy is recovering and hearing those wonderful words, I'm a blubbering mess... but in a good way.
