Happy Birthday, Pappy!

Hot Firefighters and Candy

I just heard fire sirens outside the house. We all ran outside to see what the commotion was and was pleasantly surprised that it was Santa Clause in a fire truck sleigh with hot fire fighters passing out candy! Jack didn't want anything to do with Santa but did get the hookup on a candy cane.

Now that we are back inside from the cold, Jack is playing Wii. Of course he was very grumpy that I was trying to take a photo of him in his new pajamas that GrAunty Michele sent him. Boys and their video games!

Dear GrAunty M

Thank you so much for the new Lightening McQueen pajamas! Jack absolutely loves them!!

Toy Story III

Jack loves the movie Toy Story 3. So whenever he watches it, he gets butt naked and puts on Woody the Cowboy's hat. He also gets naked when he sleeps, plays video games, and eats. He's just a naked kind of a kid.

Luckily we were able to get him to put clothes on to pose for a picture with Kevin. Afterwards, he got naked again. Sigh...

Jack's Best Friend

A Bunch of Sick Pumpkins

Kevin, Jack, and I are all sick. It's a combo of coughs, sore throats, sniffles, and head congestion. I think it's hitting Jack the hardest though because he has a fever with it and has been sleeping a lot. I was even able to trim his toe nails in his sleep because he was so out! So, with all of us under the weather, we've just been resting a lot and drinking plenty of tea. MacGyver is loving having us so immobile. He just cuddles up to one of us and sleeps all day.

We're hoping to be over our colds soon. Kevin received free movie tickets and we want to take Jack to see the new Megamind movie this weekend. He's been to the theaters before and gets so excited! We'll just have to see in a few days.

This Friday, my bff Cindy arrives from Florida. She's looking for jobs on the west coast and needs a place to live while she interviews throughout Oregon, Washington, and California. She is a biochemist and finding jobs in Florida in that specialty were impossible so she came out here. We cleaned out the office and made it lovely for her. We got her a mattress and put a nice oversized reading chair in there along with a corner shelf. I'm secretly hoping she can't find work so she can live with us forever and ever!

Vacation!

Since we can't afford to take Jack to Walt Disney World, looks like a fake roller coaster ride will just have to do!
