Happy Halloween!

My favorite Halloween joke so far:

A cabbie picks up a Nun.
She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.

He replies:'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.'
She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.'
'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.'
She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'

The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'
'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.'
The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. 'My dear child,' says the nun, 'why are you crying?'

'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess,
I'm married and I'm Jewish.'

The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

 

I hope everyone has a spooktacular Halloween!  I'm so cheesy and unoriginal.  Last night was Beggar's Night (Trick-or-Treat to most people) in our town.  We have always taken M to her Grandma's town to Trick-or-Treat, this year that town and our city were on different nights. So for the first time in a few years we were actually able to hand out candy!  Tonight we are taking her to the other town for a night of freaking-cold-candy-gathering.  She is a cute little bumblebee this year and K is a monkey.  Of course I will post pictures after we done!
We've had our fair share of tricks in the past two weeks, we are certainly ready for a treat. Thanks to a lovely leak in our roof (rolling my eyes) we spent the past few days rearranging our entire house.  The leak is in the room  where we had nearly all of our electronics.  It's not a bad leak...yet...but we are being proactive and moved it all out of there.  Now K has his own room that is pretty much empty, except toys, where he is free to roam!  It's actually quite nice for him.  Fortunately our house has two living room areas so we just shoved everything into the other living room.  Bring on the treats!

Isn't this beautiful!

Let's see, currently we have a leaky roof and a beaten up car (Jason was in an accident last week but is OK) which, as you can imagine, are not cheap to fix.  So as you can also imagine, getting deals on my Christmas shopping are not only great, but necessary.  So far, this is pretty much the best deal ever!  I just ordered 3 toys for K for Christmas from Amazon.com.  And thanks to my account with Opinion Outpost, this is what I paid for them....

 

How beautiful is that???  I love Amazon, you just have to be careful to watch where you are actually buying your items from.  If you buy directly from Amazon.com you generally get free shipping on orders over $25.  So on top of getting the items free, I saved over $15 on shipping cost.   I actually still have a couple bucks left in my Opinion Outpost account too.

A week of achievements!

For the kids that is.  I haven't achieved anything this week....nothing...diddly squat.  But my kids have been busy!  K is now crawling, very slowly but it still counts!  He also claps his hands now.  He did it before but mostly by accident, now he does it when I do it.  He is a little copy-cat, he even fake coughs when I cough.

M has been busy too!  She is definitely learning a lot, she just read 25 pages from the Dr. Suess book Hop on Pop!  All by herself!  Ok, I helped her sound a couple of the words out, but she pretty much did it all on her own.  She is really enjoying kindergarten.  We couldn't ask for a better shcool or teacher.  I also really love the fact that her class is very diverse.  She has children of several different races, which I think is great.  I grew up in a school that was 100% white, no joke.  She also has students of varying special needs in her class.  I remember growing up, the special needs kids were in some of my classes and everyone enjoyed it.  I think it defenitely helps the children understand that not all kids are the same but they all can play together and enjoy each other's company.

Sorry, that's all I got today!  I have to take time to brag about my kids once in awhile.

 

Everybody say "awwwwwww"
