Checking IN and maybe out

OK, I've been the worst. I guess I would have gotten a little more excited about daily blogging if I actually thought someone was reading it.
So, If you are out there and you are still reading or have even stopped by to check for new posts,
let me know.
Give me the reason I need to start again.
Halloween excitement is here.
We've watched the great pumpkin and had a new pumpkin treat of some kind every Wenesday for a month.
Carter is more excited about future Halloweens then this one. I wan to be Batman, then Indiana Jones and then............I think he has his cstumes picked out until his 13 at least.

A sign of the times

I went shopping last night for all the boring things of life TP, soap, Ect. and saw

school supplies

The end of summer is near and I'm Ready. Love the boys but I'm ready for them to go back to school.

I like shopping for school supplies. Glue, markers, new folders---------what joy.
I always got to pick out a new lunch box , back when they where still made of tin, that was my favorite part. If only my mom had kept them, I'd sure display them in my kitchen. Such fond memories. Little debbies were always inside. My dad still has them in the fridge and bitting into one can take me back to 2nd grade.

Rain and the summer fun

5 minutes for mom is having a photo contest.

Could this ooze any more spirit of childhood than a boy riding is tractor in the rain umbrella and all?

Surprise

Surprise. Well maybe not. I think few things surprise me any more. But I find days once and awhile that really everything is surprising.
boys will be boys-----this I know for sure
husbands will be husbands
moms will be moms
the general population of America will be mostly crazy
Surprises should be of the good kind, make you happy, make your day because you were not counting on it to happen at all.
When was the last time you were really surprised?

Feel the Love

I'm not even sure how I came across this blog.
But am so touched by their story.
You can feel how much they love one another.
There's a fasttrack section that will fill you in on all you need to know.

How come no one told me?

About the DoubleChocolaty Chip Frappuccino at Starbucks ....I mean really that was one of the best new (new to me anyway) things that I've had in a long time.
WoW it was good.
I treated myself to one for my birthday.

Lyrics

Every once in awhile you'll hear part of a song and the lyrics really strike a cord with you.

Below are those such lyrics form Robin Thicke 's Lonely world


Beautiful Mom can U smile
Can U glow can U sing me my favrite song
Coffee for one Clothes are clean
Kids are gone What to do She's a sleeping sun
She sees birds fly out her window
She watches jealously
she says she's to old 4 new new things
But mama
You've got wings
