Not so much

Matthew has finally grown in to his sunglasses. Needless to say, he wasn't the most thrilled with them. Thankfully enough, his puffs and cheerios were enough to distract him - there is hope.

Celebration cupcakes

This is how tired I am of politics right now. Now matter who wins - these are to celebrate the end of the election! Mark is bringing them in to work tomorrow.

Funny - most of the faculty seem to be Democrats and most of the students seem to be Republican.

I'm certainly not trying to make light of the situation - I pray the God will show mercy on us as a nation - I think we need it now more than ever.

Merry Christmas to us!

I just ordered it - I'm so excited!!!

Happy Halloween, from Winnie the Pooh

We did our first, Lord willing, of many "reverse trick-or-treating" outings! I like how Mark termed it - I didn't know what to call it.

These are pictures of our first stop at our pastor's house - his wife, Brenda is so gracious, I really appreciate her. And that's her granddaughter, Maya.

But anyway, we handed out treats instead of getting them (except for Rachel - who was so persuasive :o) ). Matthew was interested at the first couple of places - after that -as expected - getting in and out of the car seat was not pleasant.

Halloween in the South is something to consider - it was probably a little warm to have that fleece outfit on - it was around 70, I'm guessing. Mark and I had fun with it, anway. I had put a few of the Nutter Butter ghosts in their treat bags from Matthew along with some microwave popcorn.

Not the way to start the week

Yes, that is a bandage over my thumb - put on in the ER this morning. Matthew was out of carrots - so, being the "good mom", it was time to cook some more. Being in a hurry, as I usually am on a Monday morning with my agenda set out for the day, I was chopping the carrots(with my wonderful big Cutco knife) - not paying attention.........

I'll spare you the details, suffice it to say, I have just one stitch. The other stitches would have had to involve the remaining nail and the ER doc thought that would have ended up being a lot more involved and painful - I think I would have to agree. I'm thankful that Mark hadn't left for work, yet.

Thankfully, it hasn't been painful at all today. I think that's due to the pressure from the dressing. Tomorrow is another day - I won't be able to put off the dressing change. :o(

It's hard to type with a thumb bandaged up! I'm very thankful that it didn't involve my dominant thumb. Right now, I'm just aggravated at myslef!

BOO!

A shout out goes to June, whom I worked with in Indiana. She brought these yummy little ghosts to work one year. They're Nutter Butter cookies covered with Almond Bark. The eyes are mini chocolate chips. (June's were much prettier than these!)
Instead of getting treats on Halloween, we're going to give treats to the few homes we take Matthew to this year :o)
