Dirtiest Jobs

This was the first weekend of November, as you can tell the weather was wonderful. C-man insisted on going over to G&G Roberts' House to help them pick up rocks out of their landscaping. He dressed in some old clothes, grabbed his "i-pod" (an AM/FM radio that he won through fund-raising), sunglasses and away he went. Paul dropped him off and picked him back up when the work was done.

Grandma says that he kept on talking about that this is one of the dirtiest jobs and that this would definitely make the show for Dirtiest Jobs.! Hee-hee!

Taking a break from the dirty job.
Sweeping is pretty dirty.

Helping Grandma with the rocks.......Ellie has a nice job! She's basking in the sun!

Dirty job continues and Hailey makes sure that Grandma and C-man are herded and doing their job.

When he came home, he made a few bucks and was excited to add some money to his piggy bank!

SILLY GIRL!

PLAY-DOH IS SO FUN!

MISS-O NOSE THIS!

The Bald Egg

Aunt Jolyn do you remember this? One morning C-man wanted fried bologna and eggs (which sent me back to our fried bologna and fried spam for breakfast days!) and all of a sudden I remembered from yesteryear the "bald egg!"

If I had it my way I wouldn't let bologna step foot on our property....agh! I can't stand the salty, processed meat and what really is in it? But the hubby likes it and he's introduced it to the kids, and now it is one of our staples. I just hope they don't have hypertension, hydrocephalus and hyperlipidemia at the young age of 5 and 2.

The "bald egg" is a frequent request from C-man these days. I still have to hunt up the recipe in the 1980's Church cookbook under the microwave section! There it is, the infamous bald egg named and created by Aunt Jolyn who was in elementary school.

5 more days to vote!

no, no.....not the Presidential election that is done with......by the way, you would think we were watching the superbowl last night while viewing CNN. The kids really got into it and since we had a split decision household.....we cheered for the new votes coming in for both candidates.......we heard "yeah, go Barrack OMOBAMMA!" "Yeah, Go John Cain." too cute!

Now the new poll is in and we're voting whether I should color my hair a dark blonde or a medium blonde........I know, I know....this is HUGE ....and may even make history! Well, in fact it will be making history. I'm actually going to do self-coloring......*wince*

I've usually trust my stylist in doing this but to cut a few corners and the budget, I decided to do self coloring. This should save me at least $150.....I know! I have been known to pay over $200 for a cut, high-light, low-light, and style along with scalp massage and beverages and internet access while I'm drying....I love being pampered............so due to self-sacrifice, I'm doing something new. (and praying that my hair doesn't turn orange or green!)

I need your input, would I be a better dark blonde or medium blonde?...so far there is 100% polling for medium blonde.....so 5 more days to vote and then, this gal with dishwater blonde hair, roots showing, and grays intruding will have a new color with your input.....I'll consider you my consultation!

Next in the near future...style!

He makes us so proud, he came home with his progress report and he got all O's! That means outstanding and some of the O's had exclamation marks! Like listening carefully O! (are you sure, this never happens at home?) Does his best work O! (this I do know, he's always been a perfectionist, even as an infant, he made sure he perfected the skill before implementation....)

Way to go Kiddo!

Tricksters and lots of Treats!

Our pumpkins....decorated for the festivities.

The mom-n-me tricksters!

Treats with Batman!

Playing baby dollies.

Halloween was a fun night. We had a nice dinner at G&G Roberts, then off we went to trick or treat in their neighborhood. This being the first time authentic outside t-or-t'ng was great. C-man was running door to door and hollering out, "there's one with lights on!" Miss-O was running after and trying to catch up. C-man did his joke to everyone who gave him candy.

knock knock

who's there?

ach.

Ach who?

Bless you!

This was favored by all the givers of treats. Miss O would say Happy Hawoween! Have a good night! and Tank You!

A beautiful night indeed! Some people were just hanging outside in their chairs enjoying the night. Couldn't have planned the weather and holiday any better! We always plan for snow and then have to de-layer for the 60 degree weather!

Last Wednesday night. We went to a Fall party at our Friends; Karen's and Emory's church. There was a pizza party, trick or treating, we went up to the sanctuary and with the campfire burning on the movie screen, we sang songs, shared jokes and had a parade. The last thing the kids did was do a pumpkin prayer in which the pumpkin magically became a Jack o' lantern. Yeah for Karen and her sister planning a fun night for the kids!
