Lame Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday (Thursday) i decided after nap time, to take the kids to a pumpkin patch. We were just going to go to one near by and meet up with my parents for supper. Well it was a complete bust. Actually the kids really didn't care but i didn't even feel safe there. Granted the corn maze was all blown over after the hurricane gusts winds we had a couple days ago, it just was not enjoyable.

Both kids are scared of anything and everything. Aside from the pumpkins, which some can scare C'man, they just don't like it. C'man is totally freaked out and Miss A is too b/c he is. Here's a video clip of us in the corn maze.






Today we will go trick or treating. I don't like Halloween either, but it's what kids do. Miss A will have a blast. Here she is trying on her costume this AM:

C'man is 'supposed' to be a lion, the same one he was last year. But i truly don't think he'll get near the thing. I suspect he'll stay in the car while Miss A and I go around. No amount of candy will get him going I'm afraid. Poor child.

And then, at the risk of loosing whatever i can loose by doing this, and at the request of umm..a certain SOMEONE, no names, TIM, I'm posting the video of the afternoon we had a mouse in the house. But first let me say, a mouse in the house, on a farm, is not an unheard of occurrence. They get in thru the tinest holes. I don't set traps (DH's job) b/c if they go off I'll scream so loud you'll hear me where ever you're reading this. BUT i will use a sticky trap. Taren't the best of options b/c the mouse can still get away with that thing stuck to them. With the help of Kdee 'aka' Fat Dog, we caught the damn thing. C'man was no help. There he stood on the chair telling me to get it. After i caught it it was still alive and hanging by its tail, i showed C'man. Now you can watch the video. Now seriously you all HAVE to leave a comment after this. I'm baring my messy house, the rodent in my house, and me freaking out. That ought to warrant something, besides my arrest, right?? Happy watching!!

I'm sorry i can't get this video downloaded. I already had it downloaded prior to trying here. So here's the url and you'll just need to copy and past it into your browser. Trust me it'll be worth it.

Day after Halloween

Weeee...did we have fun last night trick or treating with th ekids. As you can see from there costumes aren't they just ADORABLE!! A was simply the cutest girl i'd seen all night. Cuter then the daycare baby whom are very close in age, she was a pumpkin and really, that fitted her if you know what I mean. We started off the afternoon with naps and then i tried C's costume on. Lion #1 new this year, well i got it at a garage sale. He did NOT like it. He's been scared of that thing now since I took it out of the bag. BUT he did not have a problem wearing the one her wore last year. Then miss A who has a terrible cold slept ALL afternoon. WE dressed her after she finally woke up and caputured some great shots of the two of them.

We ate at club casmo http://www.clubcasmo.com/ before heading to a couple homes and then to the nursing home. It is so nice to do this inside however it had to been 100 + degrees in there. I really like the man who for every 1 piece of candy he'd hand out, he pocketed 4 for him. hehe A caught on real quick that the residents had candy in there buckets!! C was polite and said his thank you's after taking a HANDFUL of candy. Some residents were trite that they only could have 1, or 2 but others, they'd say 'ohhhh sweetie...take MORRRREEE' i was like no really this is quite enough b/c they'll stop on there way back up the hall. They scored more candy then will ever eat. I think just a couple weeks ago i thru out some of last years!! We aren't real big candy eaters here.

Exhaustion settled in and colds were getting the best of the kids. It was good to get home and C didn't want to get out of his costume. Enjoy the shots!

Rough nite of sleep for all. I woke up @ 315am to A's light on. There she sat in her bed and C was sitting in her rocking chair. I shooed him back to bed protesting like crazy. He didn't fall back to sleep till @ 515!! Grrrr on top of this i came downstairs this AM to the rug gone in the dining and kids room!! Apparently Mocha must have ate some road kill and crapt'd it out all over the freakin place!! DH said i'm glad i didn't see it. I replied, 'no you're glad I didn't see it' So he's doing his carpet cleaning this AM bright and early. Dang dog!!
