We are coming down off the sugar high of halloween 2008 and I have pictures! It was a great day. We had a parade at school and once again we went to trunk or treat at Church. I just love trunk or treat. The church fills the parking lot with trucks and volunteers sit on [...]

He has another one loose– it will go soon. I hope he does not swallow the next one!

Do you want to know what we do for fun on Friday nights out here in west Texas? We kill flies!

2. Hayden took it upon himself to pee [...]
