darn it

i guess i was starting to feel left out.....    i have a cold now.

tired

instead of working out during the boys' nap time, I took a nap also.  I slept awful last night.  I don't why, I was just awake a LOT last night.  Blaming it on the 3 o'clock cup of coffee seems a bit far fetched.
oh well, whatever the reason, i'm good now.  Except...  think i'm getting a cold.  boo.

WHOO!

New purse (GREEN!!!!) and a new outfit!!  yay!  thanks, love!

nonsense

Conversation with Ava on our way back to her house from basketball practice:

me: see that road right there?  i live down there.

ava:  how can you live down there?  there's no houses!  

me:  yes there are.  the entire road is full of houses.

ava:  no there's not!  it's only stores!

me:  there are no stores--only houses.

ava:  like a hundred houses?  

me:  more than that

ava:  like 200 houses?

me:  like 4 or 5 hundred houses

       (im counting the branching subs as well)

ava:  my mom and dad use to live down that road

       (5 seconds ago there werent even houses down there--now her parents lived there)

me:  no they didn't

ava:  yeah, huh!

me:  i dont think they did

ava:  yeah they really did!

me:  no.  they didn't.

ava:  where did they live then?

me:  i know they lived in New York

ava:  they did?

me:  yeah

ava:  why did they live in new york?

me: they were stationed there when they were in the army.

ava:  what's stationed?

      (oh, geez)

me:  that's where the army told them to live.  

Ava:  i'm gonna kick the back of your chair till we get home

me:  please dont

ava:  i'm gonna!

    (kick,kick,kick...)

me:  ava, stop.

    (driving past all fast food places now)

ava:  i am sooooo thirsty!

me: we're going home.  you can get a drink there

ava:   but i need one nooooow.

me:  you'll get one at home

ava:  is this the way to my house?

me:  yes

ava:  are you sure?  

me:  yes.  i have been there.

ava:  yeah, from your house.  not from the athletic center.

me:  i take the same way.

ava:  i feel like we're lost.

me:  we're not lost

ava:  i think we are.

me:  yup, we are lost in the woods.  im gonna drop you off on the side of the road and you can find your way back home.

ava:  (lots of laughing)  noooo!!

me:  we'll be there soon

more cleaning

while babysitting Ava last night---  I cleaned her room while she was in the shower.  what else was there to do?

Halloween

Kiddies had a blast trick or treating last night.  We went with my sis and her two kids (Kobe and Elee), her husband (ben), and her husband's parents (Mark and Cindy; they met up with us 'bout half way through).  Mark is also the pastor who married Dave and I--just a fun little factoid.

We went to a sub right down the street which had a TON of houses.  And it was local.  Bonus!  Noah was kinda done after like 6 houses, but then he got re-charged with a juice box (thanks, Ben!).  He began to run up to every house, and tried to run back to a few also.

It was a perfect night--not too cold, no tears; it was lovely.  They have a ridiculous amount of candy now, and fun new costumes to play dress up in.

Love Halloween.
