six things about me

I was tagged for this from Blessed with girls a while back....

Also- hop on over to her blog to visit. Her husband is in the hospital right now.

OK- so six things about me that you may not know...

1. I never wear make up. I do wear lip gloss but that is it! I don't get why people plaster the stuff all over their face.

2. I like frogs. I have several frog 'figurines' and also got a frog tattoo on my lower back when I was 18 years old.

3. I am a simple person. I'm not into fancy items. Example- dinnerware/china, silverware and all that jazzy stuff from the kitchen.

4. I love pictures. I have tons of pictures plastered all over the house!

5. I am told by many people that I must have a lot of patience. Usually this is when I have kids climbing all over me and trying their best to distract me but I act like nothing is going on. So maybe I have patience- but I'm not sure if I will ever have enough!!

6. My house is always a mess! Even if I do pick up all the crap the kids drag out - within a day they have it trashed again. One more I guess I could add to this-- I don't understand why people make the beds every single morning. We generally just pull the blankets up and call it good. My mom always had me make my bed. Why? It's going to be unmade again at the end of the day!

Now for tagging 6 more people... Let's see, I don't remember who all has done this already so if you have done it, ignore the tag!

Meet the Parmers, The Muncks Quiver, Sunflower Stories, Opposite Kids, Life with Bubba and Chicky, and The Rocking Pony


I was also tagged by Opposite Kids and Sunflower Stories for the Kick ass blogger award.

If you want it, it's yours! I like everyones blog listed over there on my blog roll.

School Halloween parties

At school the kids had a costume parade then the parties. Max's and Sam's classes are very close together so that was a bonus for me. Joe, Ike and myself watched the parade then went to Sam's class for the beginning of the party. We then skipped on over to hang out in Max's class for a short time and finished back up in Sam's class.

Here is Sam making finger print spiders.

Joe and Ike entertained themselves by playing (or eating!) legos.



Max playing Bingo with some friends. His Para dressed up as a biker chick.


Notice her arm? It is a 'tattoo' saying "Max" -- pretty neat!
Joe kept busy playing with these shapes and grouping them together for each number
Back at Sam's class Ike ate some "bones"
These kind of bones..... bread stick bones!
Ike also kept busy climbing the bookshelves.

The parties were fun. The kids enjoyed them.

Halloween Night

Here are my 4 kiddos before heading out to collect their loot! The night was perfect! You could not ask for more perfect weather. The kids filled their buckets!

Ok- stop filling my mailbox now!

So glad the elections are over! This picture is from ONE day of junk mail- all election crap. Most of them just bash the other running mate instead of actually stating what they believe/support.

Max feeding his newest cousin. He loves babies.

I was planning on posting something Halloweeny -- but this will have to do! I didn't get pictures of him and his pumpkin so I will have to do that still.


Hope everyone enjoyed looking at a months worth of pictures of my sweetie pie Max. Thank goodness for scheduled posts too- otherwise I would have never made it!


Happy Halloween everyone!!

behind...

I am so behind reading others blogs. I think with so many people doing the "31 for 21" it has finally caught up to me. I will get to them soon!

Max likes our cat. I can't say the same is true for Tinkerball liking Max but she tolerates him as much as possible.

Max loving on Tinkerball....The last one Max looks like a cat! I think he had cat fur on his face or mouth.

About a week and a half ago we had our Buddy Walk. Kansas City's buddy walk was the LARGEST in the world this year!! Over 7000 people showed up, and over $450,000 was raised. They are still taking donation thru the end of the year.


Here is a picture of our star: MAX!
Max with the Chiefs football player, Rudy Niswanger
Here is Max after the walk getting a medal from Chiefs football player, Brian Waters
It was a cool morning but it warmed up rather nicely by the time the walk started at 12:45.

Cheesy grin Max!! Max loves computers and can figure anything like that out in no time. He can operate anything electronic.

He is one smart cookie!
