Aisling, I won a Rat at the Pirate Auction at the Renaissance Faire last weekend, wanted to keep her just for you but they wouldn't let me have both prizes - I eventually traded her in for the real prize which was a decorative sword.

How could you not keep that rat, it looks awesome

A little touch-o-fall for my Magic Mateys...

Lovely, thank you.

I'm on my way out to the girl scout halloween party, after the overnight at the MALL. We did not sleep @ 5:30am I decided we should call it a night/day/night whatever...I'm going to the party in my pjs as the mama that partied too much the night before...pictures to follow

Nice pics Tig!

[Marla Hellwig]

Band scored a 1 or superior ranking at the OEMA (Ohio Educational Music Association) competition tonight

Tomorrow the band will be playing for McCain who is having a rally here in town (actually at our new sports arena at the high school) - we got our list of instructions tonight

band members have to be at band room by 7:30 a.m., they can get their instrument over at the arena - no cases what so ever - so the S service detail and the bomb and gun and drug sniffing dogs can examine them once you are in the building you will not be allowed to leave - no exceptions - and someone will be feeding the band members - who - we have no clue

and oh yah - they have to dress nicely and appriopriately so I am doing a load

Colleen - those are some AWESOME photos....i haven't even uploaded Friday nights FB photos yet, but St Francis lost, so a sad night, but they had 5 wins prior to that, maybe that's what made it so much worse....next game is Thursday (so they don't have to play on Halloween)...
been pretty busy completing college appls, supplements etc., finished two & submitted those, applying to 3 private & to 3 public state college/univs.....we'll see where he gets accepted....

 

[Marla Hellwig]

The football team made the playoffs - they play next Saturday night - the first time they have made the playoffs ever

 

[CADZNYCHC]

Congratulations!!! How exciting!! we still have 4 games to play & hoping we'll make playoffs as well (would be SF's 1st time too!!)

 

[Marla Hellwig]

It is rather exciting - we know who we are playing - they trounced us pretty bad earlier this season - and we know when we are playing - we just don't know where

RUS.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU tomorrow .....Hope you had a great weekend!!!

Thank You, Chel and I stayed home and finished off our backyard.

 

[Marla Hellwig]

eeek - I missed another birthday

Happy birthday Rus



cool pictures - haven't seen much turning of the colors here - though with the winds from Ike - some areas don't have many trees left

Kara is at school and the band is waiting to file into the arena - she got her instrument in early for approval

If you see any coverage of McCain today from Trent Arena in Kettering Ohio - look for Kara - she is wearing a s/s grey hoodie top

Thank You, Chel and I stayed home and finished off our backyard.

Happy Birthday Russ!

 

[Aisling]

Nice cake! LOL

Happy Birthday to Rus!

Marla, I just turned on the news and McCain is on. I'm looking for Kara! What an experience for her.

I ran to the gym while Brian was asleep in his crate, and he's still sleeping. I've been taking him everywhere in the sling, but he can't go to the gym with me. The vet said he still isn't allowed to walk outside...too many chances of picking something up from other dogs/stray cats. When he gets his last shots next month, we'll be regulars at the dog park.

He's already knows the words sit, peepee, and byebye for going out.

Grim, I'm waiting for the prickly pear photos. I remember "prickly pear" from The Jungle Book, Baloo singing The Bare Necessities with that in it.

Tig, Chad said you're fostering a 9 year old. I said WHAT??????????????????? But then I realized it was a poochie.

Gotcha~

Our family is funny like that

Brittany has always said she'd petsit before she babysat...

John and I adore children but would much rather Foster a dog than a child

There's alot of freedom in having a puppy dog and they are easier to train

I told Brit, now that Brian's gonna be spending time in the car you're actually gonna hafta clean it

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Happy Birthday Rus!

Hey Brenda, got any final Brithday month plans to round out the holiday?

 

[Aisling]

Ouch, low blow, but oh so true!
I have yet to take out the two weeks worth of McD bags and cups all over the floor!

Happy Birthday Rus!

Hey Brenda, got any final Brithday month plans to round out the holiday?

geeesshh - it was very clean for Lora & I last year!!!!

 

[Marla Hellwig]

They didn't show any part of the band - darn it all

Kara heard Mike Turner, Joe Kemp, Mrs. McCain, John McCain and a couple of others

She said it was interesting, they had to have their instrument in the arena before 7:50 a.m. this morning so they could be examined, no instrument cases period.

Then the band had to file in early in order to pass security

they weren't allowing any backpacks, ipods, mp3 players etc, not even any homework/text books etc

She got wanded and sniffed by the dogs - at various times of the day - she ended up with the same dog each time, the last time, he whined at her and then started licking her hand

She said the scary part were the snipers on the roofs of the school/arena

Rus, how does it look??? Hope you have a happy birthday day today

Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes. I can now join AARP. Here are some photos of the backyard. We put in "AstroTurf", 15 years of not mowing the lawn.
