We took the kids to the pumpkin patch. They rode a horse and played a couple gamed and each picked out two small pumpkins. Evi was upset that I let Sebastian put his pumpkins up to his eyes, and I made her take hers down. I explained that she was holding hers against her chest, and it just didn't look right, and so she wanted a do-over, so she got a picture with pumpkin glasses.

I'm glad I did not hear: " Mom, how do you get gum out of your hair?"

Halloween Costume

I was laughing so hard while trying to take this picture. I think it's because Sebastian's eyelashes look so big because of the prescription in the glasses, and he just looks so funny. He is going to be a Grandpa for Halloween, and I found these at the Goodwill. I ended up taking the lenses out, but I had to get a picture of him first.


Tonight something happened to my little man. Some of you know that he stutters quite a bit. He is shy to begin with, but he doesn't like talking to people because he says he stutters. I took him to a speech therapist and she said that many kids stutter, and that most grow out of it, and not to interrupt him or finish his sentences. So we have been working on that.
Well at dinner tonight, Juan asked who would like to pray. Sebastian said he did, so we all closed our eyes to pray, and he began:
" Tank you Jesus for our food, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla blass dis food, Amen." During the bla bla part, we thought he was trying to be silly, and Juan, Evi and I exchanged looks, thinking that he was being disrespectful, and all along he was asking Jesus to bless our food. I almost cried. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but I feel that he senses that he does it, and it bothers him. Anyone have any ideas on how to help him stop stuttering and helping him be more social?

Politically Speaking

My friend Rachel gave us a sign to put in our yard. Yes, we are voting for McCain/Palin. So, a couple of days after we put up our sign, our neighbor across the street put up the signs. Juan came in and said "___ put up 7 Obama signs in his yard". Me: "Seven??"
So the next day I look and there is five Obama signs. Juan says he counted seven, so he might have taken some down. I wondered if he felt threatened by my one sign, that he felt the need to let the rest of the neighbors know that majority rules maybe?? Who knows. When mentioning this to my sister she said I should blog about it. I had to wait for him to go to work to get the picture, but here it is count them. Five Obama signs. Does anyone have a bunch of McCain signs that I can borrow just to make him mad??

Painting Pumpkins

I laughed when I saw my friend Terra's blog. She made a football and baseball with her pumpkins. We just mixed colors and don't have a real pattern going on. I guess the purpose is to have fun.
