Halloween

Halloween is sort of anti-climactic after your kids get older.
Tonight my kids are at their dad's house.
Luke is going trick-or-treating with a couple of buddies from school.
Chloe was going to hand out candy at her dad's house.
Ryan and Isaiah are here and are handing out candy.
SO, I am down here on the computer updating my blog.

Today Rosie was on Martha Stewart. I didn't get to watch it.
Luckily my friend, Lynda, Tivo'd it. I can watch it at a later date.

Yesterday the Backstreet Boys new CD came out. It is called
UNBREAKABLE.

Catching Up

It's been a long time since I have written on here.
On Friday night I had some friends over to hang out. We had a few chuckles and some collegial discussions.



On Saturday we went to Farmington Lanes and did some atomic bowling, but I accidentally forgot my camera. SO, I have no pictures. You KNOW how I hate that.

On Sunday we went to church, out to lunch, and back home for a Vikings game.
We all went to the Lion King last night at the Orpheum Theater.
It was SO AMAZING!
The kids loved it, and so did Angela and I.
WOW! There aren't really the words to describe it.

Sweet Sixteen

a


Today is Chloe's SWEET SIXTEEN birthday.
After school, we went to TGIFridays for dinner.



We ate and had funny table things.
We seem to make a quite commotion when we go out.


Luke, while messing around in Ryan's letter jacket,
just happened to knock over Isaiah's drink...
all over his pants.
I am pretty sure the folks at TGIFriday's were happy
to see us leave.


Chloe had a choir concert at Lakeville South at 7:30.
After that, we came home and opened gifts.
It is so hard to believe that my little girl is 16!
I LOVE YOU CHLOE!

A Break

Yesterday turned out to be a nice day.
It actually DID NOT RAIN!
So that, of course, meant that we had to do
yard work!!
We enjoyed the mid 70 degrees again.
Chloe and Luke lucked out that it was their
weekend at their dad's house.
So they didn't have to do the yard work.

Today we went to church.
Then we went to Baker's Square for lunch.
Harrison, our waiter, did NOT love us.
I think it was his first day, and we asked
many questions.
Plus, we wanted the stuff a certain way.

The Vikings lost today.
Sort of glad I missed most of the game
as I was shopping for Chloe's birthday
gifts.
She is almost 16!!!
