Kiddie Fun

I have had a lot of fun these past couple of days. McKenzie came to stay the night with us Thursday night after we went to PF Changs. We loved it, by the way. It was so good. We ate a variety of delicious things and passed them all around. I really liked the sweet and sour chicken and the Cantonese shrimp. Deeelicious!

Friday, Lindsey asked us to go swimming with her and Cooper and the twins. Her aunt (who lives right down the road from me) has a beautiful in-ground pool with stairs and a diving board. It was so much fun! The kids were great and happy and it made me so incredibly besides myself to be there. I love that kinda stuff. I know that sounds crazy, but I do. I'm so happy to be around happy kids.

Lindsey and I took McKenzie and Cooper to see Kung Fu Panda on Friday night. I really loved the movie. The kids did, too. Cooper just kinda gets mesmerized and doesn't move (he did have to pee once) and Kenzie laughs at everything. She gets that from me (and mom). Lindsey says that she laughs like mom and me. Jack Black is awesome and hilarious! It might get a bit violent for some of you and/or your kids so, beware of that. Our kids were fine with the whole movie.

Last night, Luke and I watched LSU baseball. I'm about to watch more. I hope they win today!! Geaux Tigers. I went to sleep early because I was not feeling well (my period) and I slept late. I've been reading, watching baseball and eating fruit. Luke is taking a nap. Oh, I lost 4 pounds!! I'm thrilled. It's just a lazy, summer Sunday...

Rockstars, 2.0

Today, I have a headache. It's not that bad. It was more intense at about 2:00 am- 4:00 am. That's when I finally was able to fall asleep. I'm tres excited because Luke just came home for lunch and said he bought us tickets to the Sugar Bowl!! UGA is his team and I'm glad to go. New Orleans won't be as crazy for the Sugar Bowl as it will be for the Championship, right? I'm not big on Bourbon Street during big events, especially post-Katrina. Crime is out of control.

I'm eating a salad for lunch. It's one I got from Wally Mart yesterday. I love these- they are Ready To Go or something like that. They come in Cobb, Chicken Caesar, Spinach and Bacon, and the one I'm eating is new cranberry walnut. It's got mixed greens, chicken, walnuts, dried cranberries, feta cheese and a cranberry vinaigrette dressing. The Spinach one is great too. It's spinach, bacon, cheddar, almond, and a vinaigrette that I forgot.

What Do You Say?

Last night was so fun! We saw some cutie cute kids and had so much fun passing out candy. My parents moved into a neighborhood after living in a "not neighborhood" for a long time. My brother and I have not been trick-or-treating in forever either, of course, so this was a riot.



My dad, of course, went waaaaay overboard with the candy. He bought tons and tons of it. The really good kind, too- mini snickers, twix, milky way, almond joy, hershey bars, 3 musketeers, mounds, peppermint patty, caramels, blow pops... I can't even remember. We have so much left over. He sat next to me and when there was a cutie, he'd say "Load 'em up." Well, every single kid that was little and all the sweet little girls he said that about! He would've started giving them money if we hadn't been out there!



There were some stand-outs, though. A little girl who said her name was "Sleeping Beauty Snow White Reagan" came running up the driveway to us and started twirling in her dress. We were all sitting in a row-like/semi-circle- my daddy, me, Shannon (Justin's g/f), Justin, mom, my uncle Keith, aunt Susan, Maria and Madison. This little girl came when no other kids were there. She had to be about three and was dressed as Snow White (my favorite Disney girl). She had on the black wig and everything. She was so cute I was dying! I thought dad was gonna give her his credit card!!



Then we had two little girls dressed as a chick and a monkey. Their mom was really sweet and was talking to us and all. Then when the little chick (about 3) was getting her candy, her mom said, "What do you say?" and the little girl said emphatically, "MORE!" Too cute. The mom was embarrassed but daddy and I thought it was great. Dad also couldn't get over the "drive-by" trick-or-treaters, the ones that came up in wagons. He loved that. He said that Isabella is getting a retro Radio Flyer.



The best costume of the night goes to my sweetheart cousin, Daniel. He was Oscar the grouch in the trashcan and everything! I'll have to get Keith to send me pictures. It was so cute. McKenzie was Hannah Montana with the long blonde wig (she's a blonde but her hair is short), jeweled jeans and brown boots. They were adorable and had a ball. But, I had my pet peeves.

• no costumes
• greedy kids
• "kids" that aren't kids but teens- HELLO! Especially the one's in no costume.

Did y'all have any of that? Does that bother anyone else or am I just mean?? It may just be me! Hope y'all had a Happy Halloween! Don't eat too much of that candy today. I'll be posting Cal in his costume soon.
