Ella is eleven months old, is that smile the cutest. I love the Toofies!!

Big step for our little 'Short Cake'. She is walking everywhere !

Boo!

This is for my girls! So the last few years I have not really decorated for Halloween. There are  several reasons for this: The first is, we get 'ZERO' Trick R' Treaters, our street is pitch dark and we live at the very bottom of a dark steep driveway, actually sounds perfectly creepy for Halloween, so there is no point in decorating just in case we might get some cute costumed kiddies knocking on our door. The next reason is that before the girls left home Halloween decorating was a really fun Family activity. The girls now have their own homes to have fun decorating and I usually go to Sage's cause her neighborhood is all Spooked out for Halloween and there are lots and lots of Trick R' Treaters. And the last reason is I guess I've gotten lazy and forgotten how much fun Halloween decorating is. Amber and the kiddies won't be down before Halloween so I know the pictures will bring back some fun memories, especially the silly guy on the porch. For many years Sage and Amber would use their Dad's old levi's, flannel shirt and cowboy boots to make this guy up!! I had the stuff packed away in the Halloween decoration box and couldn't resist making him up this year. He looks pretty good! So even though we will get 'ZERO' Trick R' Treaters I'm decorated and had lots of fun doing it!!

This is my Spooky decoration--its a domed cake plate filled with Skeletons and a black wreath and purple bats, love it.

I think the spider is my favorite!

Dull and Boring!

Okay, I've fumed a few days now over the debate--and could it have been any more boring, I think not.  We are all well aware that the Economy is beyond in the tank and has gotten worse every day this week, I might add.  So here was the opportunity for either candidate to come out of the gate blasting (especially John McCain) but did they??  Heck a Moly, NO!  I am so disappointed in that fact there was so little passion and irateness on the part of these guys!  I am one pissed off American right now, I am livid over Wall Street, and more upset that Washington is sooo out of touch with Mainstream America!! And where the heck did they get those people in the audience??  Could they have been any duller in their questions?  Am I the only one fired up over the mess we're in right now, cause if I would have been asking the questions you would have seen the passion and ire I'm feeling.  These folks and the online questions were dull, boring and pointless, to say the least.  And Tom Brokaw, good gosh he stunk!  His monotone voice and attitude Suck, let alone his ridiculous attempts at humor.  It was the worst debate and it should have been so much more.  I want more and I expect more.  Where is the passion?  Where is the Crusader?  Where is the fighter for Mainstream Americans?  Where is the Maverick?  Please give us more, I really need to see more Passion on the issues in this Election.

2nd Presidential Debate!

Okay, tonight is the 2nd debate and these boys better put some meat into it.  The Economy better be the #1 issue cause it sucks!  I'm am beyond the name calling and the he said this and no you said that--baloney!  What I want to hear is, what the real honest to gosh plans are to get this Country on track and stop the downward spiral!!!  I could really get on it because I am sick of Wall Street and Washington being so out of touch with Mainstream America.  At this point both McCain and Obama better get in touch with the working folks of this Country who now are carrying the $700 billion dollar bailout, the War in Iraq and the "Oh woe is me" foreign aid policies on our braking backs.    

Debate?

Is anyone as interested in the V.P. debate as I am?
