"There is no cure for the Common Birthday" - John Glenn

Gmail has an ad/news ticker that you can have at the top of your inbox if you wish. Right next to the link for "Birthday greetings" it had a link for "Death notices". How nice. "Happy birthday! Be sure to look here to see if you're dead. or to tell people you're dead." I'm only 28!

"Or! I'm a pirate! Or!"

We were reading stories and singing at bedtime and emma stretched her boots figure across her eyes and out of nowhere busted out with "Or! I'm a pirate! Or!".

Lions and Tiggers and witches, oh my!

And now, right on time....the halloween pictures!

Emma refused to let Mommy help with her whiskers. Levi was more willing to let mommy help, though.

Baby Tigger!

Emma, Levi, and their Tribe cousins after trick or treating and shortly before the sugar rush.

"I love you like people at fat camp love Pizza"

Remember that little illness that flattened Erin and I for about a week? Levi may have it. Poor kid was ULTRA clingy and cried a lot until we got him some warm hot chocolate. If only he'd let us look in his mouth so we could see if his tonsils or throat look irritated or infected. More than Usual yesterday, if I was home he HAD to be in my arms or on my lap. Poor kid. Emma might be getting it too since she was unusually clingy and desperate for attention as well.

Good thing my Programming test only took 20 minutes so I could have more time to be with them. Too bad I didn't get any homework done. Actaully, no it isn't. I'm so apathetic right now about schoolwork it's pathetic.

Naked Club

Yesterday was kind of a rough day for Erin. She spends a lot of her time tending a nephew of ours while his parents work and his brother is at school. She came out of the kitchen to find Emma and her cousin Scott (who is only a year older than Emma, at 4) completely naked standing between a box springs and king sized mattress that had been propped against a wall. When Erin asked what they were doing, they said they were playing "Naked Club". I had to laugh. I told my Friend Shaun about it and he said that in College he found that cold weather was good for "Naked Club" problems. Good thing erin took the kids outside to play after that.
