Another one bites the dust

The view of our door last week....

And our door today....notice a difference?

No, we did not sell our condo.  We officially took it off of the market.  After a very long year and a half struggle to try to sell what we know as our home, we decided it was time to take it off for a while.  We know we're not the only ones going through similar situations, but it has been a heartache for us none-the-less.  Our hope is to rent the condo and find something that fits us better this winter.  We'll keep you posted.

A welcomed sign

I got gas this morning...and I almost couldn't believe it. I can't even remember the last time I have seen gas in "the ones". I had to snap a picture with my phone. I paid $4.12 this summer at the same gas station...and with my hour commute every day, I'm OK with the change....a very welcomed change.

Update

I walked out from writing the first blog, and I found Jack like this on the couch....I guess he found his spot for the night.

Speaking of spots for the night...I think B found his, too...he's not moving until this election is decided. Maybe to get something to drink. MAYBE.

Politics has been on in our house what seems like 24/7 for months...so I for one am excited for it to be decided as well.  No more mornings spent listening to politicians while putting on my make-up :)  I hope everyone did their part and voted...no matter who you think the better choice is.

Sicky

Jacks is sick today.  He lost his lunch at daycare and has a fever of 103.  Brad picked him up early, and since I got home at 4:30, this is about all he has been doing....laying on the couch.  Not so typical of my energetic Action Jackson.

Brad taking his temp...this time its only 102.  Time for bed...

Swiper No Swiping

I was giving Jack a bath tonight, and set a towel on the floor for when he got out. I went to grab a diaper, and when I took my four steps back into the bathroom, he had already SWIPED the towel and threw it in! In the first picture he looks as though he's been busted...

And now totally proud of what he's done....augh. He said he wanted a "wet wrap"!

I should also show you how his war wound looks today....much worse than yesterday. This one might stay black and blue for a few days, huh??

Giddy Up!

Jacks was a cowboy for Halloween this year.  He thought he looked like Woody from Toy Story, and I was fine with that as long as he would keep his outfit on!

Here...sitting with the Newman kids...Captain Hook, Peter Pan, and Tinkerbell!

Brad was dressed up as Tate...this was really funny because he kept telling Tate he was going to do it, and if you know Tate very well...everything Brad did was just like him.  I wasn't going to dress up at all, but found this mask......don't ask what I was.  Jack said I looked like a bird.  OK?

So I said I wasn't going to dress up, right?  Tell that to Kelley, who had old dresses for all of us.  Too funny.  You can't even see my ridiculous wig because it was so dark out, but we definitely made a statement.  And don't you think it's unfair that Kelley - the planner of it all - got to be a Southern Belle, and was the prettiest of all of us??  Rigged, totally rigged.

We had such a fun Halloween - tons of more pictures in the October slide show.

Silly Sleeper...

I know...this should be a Halloween post. That would just take too much time this morning...so look for them tonight. I thought this was funny, this is how Jacks was sleeping the other night. Seriously - who sleeps with their legs crossed??


Hope you had a fun weekend - and I promise I'll try to get more up tonight.
