Well you should remind the "bossy patient" how good of care you are taking of him right now. Then maybe your youngest will pick you a really nice nursing home! LOL

We only trick or treated for an 1/2 hour. My little one got tired. We had already gone to a birthday party at chuck e cheese earlier in the day. It was really cold last night too. We might hit 50 today. I wore shorts or capris all last week, not today!

I know what your saying about the temp Pia! High in the 40's and low in the 20's the next few days here! DH needs to check all the tractors (27 of them) tonight to make sure they have enough antifreeze so nothing freezes and we need to get the camper winterized!

Men always like things with engines!
That's just the ones that run on the farm! LOL Him & his Dad both had a tractor obsession! My MIL and I cringed when we heard "we should buy that one for parts" at an auction. Of course, we both knew that meant they would end up buying parts for it and getting it running too! We have all different kinds but my personal favorite is Brutus (Belarus 825) the biggest tractor on the farm. My least favorite is the kidney tractor (farmall A) - you go as fast as your kidneys will let you! LOL...it's a little rough riding but makes for a nice hay rake tractor...of course if you can get the BN first you definatley take it instead, and leave the kidney tractor for some other sucker!
I'm sure it's probably stress that brought this on today but here is what went down (and is currently) at my house....it is just so entertaining that I have to share...
The kids were complaining about doing their schoolwork, picking up...etc...you all know how that goes. So I finally told them to be quiet because I had FINALLY gotten the baby down for a nap, then I ventured off to the basement to see what I could find for supper....well, as kids will be kids, they were quiet for less than 10 seconds and by the time I came back up the stairs the baby had been woke up!! The steam for sure had to be coming out of my ears by that point!! So I told them that they were now me for the rest of the day...I"m taking the rest of the day off...laundry, dishes, cleaning, supper it's all theirs!! Woo Hoo I've got the day off. DS #3 thinks he's being cute of course and I can hear him in the kitchen whispering to his sister well I better get on the phone to Kristie (my friend that I talk to every morning) and he even said that "Oh we'll win this one..." Hahahahahahahaha! I know he thinks it's funny right now but don't think it will last for long.....bet they sleep good tonight!!
On another note... Our boys football team won last night! WooHoo! They are in the top 8 now but they have a very tough game this Friday..wish them luck. If they win that one I'll be heading to Nancy's side of the state to the dome!

On girl, I LOVE it. There have been times when I've done the same thing. It felt so GOOD!!!

I'm thinking it may have to flow over into tomorrow as well. LOL. I did get a chance to work on a few swaps for the end of November. I did still have to take care of some things but it was nice to have some help at least for a few hours.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get all of my swaps sketched out and cut over the next 2 weeks and then I'll just have to assemble them and mail them off.
This could be a really good lesson for the kiddos as well. Organization (time & supplies), math (measuring for the cooking), reading (for cooking), and I'm sure there are other kinds of things it could work for as well.

The best one is a little stress relief for Natalie! If he wants to "win this one" maybe you should drag it our for a week. I bet you win in the long run! LOL
But I know I didn't pay that much for it... When I bought it in April 2007, it cost me $315...
The seven dwarfs are only out during the Halloween Party from 7pm-11:30pm... We got in line about 10:30pm and Riley fell asleep about 15 minutes later...
So the good parents that we are, we stayed in line and woke him up for the picture...
If anyone wants to see the photopass pictures, send me your email via PM and I'll send ya the link...

Now I need a new camera, suggestions?
I know mine was rather pricey when I got it and all the extra lens' and hot shoe flash but I have done amazing senior pictures and wedding pictures with it! I love it! You can use it in the automatic stage or set your own SLR setting on it for more advanced users. I keep thinking I'm going to go manual but haven't really messed with it much. My oldest DD was a baby when I had the SLR camera you had to adjust and she's almost 22 now so I'm quite rusty on settings!
My camera is the Canon Eos Rebel and my cousin and cindy725 both own one too. Everyone is happy with theirs as far as I know. When I bought mine I actually bought it through Dell online when they were having a special no interest for 6 months sale so I had a few months to pay for it without it costing me anything extra and the camera was on sale cheaper than WalMart had it at the time.

Nancy...
Nancy, how did you get soooo lucky and get all of those photopass pix? The last time we we to Disney, we didn't see anybody all day the whole time we were there except finally around 5:00 one day in Magic Kingdom. So disappointed!
You have so many great pictures! Your little guy is just adorable. The picture of Sleeping Beauty where they are holding hands just melts my heart!!!
I agree with Nancy H, I came home from DL with about 15 pictures on my photopass. Rumor was all the staff was moved to world of color and there were not many photopass people out.
I have never been on Halloween or Christmas, it is on my list. I can't bring myself to pull the kids from school so I just have to wait!
Thanks for the camera info, I have to buy one soon!

Charli is actually working on her Disney album now with who she got signatures and pics of. She has used a lot of swap stuff for it too! Idk how many she got but I do know if it wasn't for the day she spent with cindy725 she wouldn't have any! She probably got 10 or 12 of the characters.
This trip every character had both a handler and a photo pass photographer...
And we made a point of finding a photo pass photographer at every park to have our picture taken in front of the park icon (Cinderella's Castle, Epcot Ball, Tree of Life and Sorcerer’s Hat)...
And the best part is every photo pass photographer took a picture with my camera so I don't have to buy the CD to get the pictures... YEAH!!!

Yeah she sure does! However, the little stinker needs to wait a few more weeks to come out to play though! I'm still debating on the job and part time - if I could keep my health insurance I'd take every Wednesday off now! I guess time will tell. I left early yesterday to take Charli to Hospital and was off all day today and back at the hospital and doctors office with them. I didn't feel bad at all not being at work today! LOL She's taking pills every 6 hours to hold off labor so cross your fingers it works!

Keep us posted on Kaylee, she shouldn't rush! She needs to grow a little more.
Our comapany policy is 40 hrs cause they pay a good portion of the cost. I can be added to DH's but it would cost me a fortune. The insurance is the only thing holding me back right now because I have to have insurance!
