Family Pictures

Our gallery is up on www.kathymccloy.com now and most of you have our password to view it. The pictures turned out great but since we had so many taken, we have asked for 2 discs now and probably a new gallery to view. I asked Kathy to separate the family and Jordan from Aimee's engagment and Kailyn's 5th birthday. When she gets back from Califonia the first of this week, there will be a check of what photos are left behind to be sure that we can separate them. Sounds like some dramatic crap on tv and now you are waiting during commercial.
Kailyn had her last soccer game today and got elbowed right in the eye so she had to sit out for a bit while MiMi put ice on it. As you can see, I have changed the blog colors to more of a Christmas theme and added a countdown. Yes I do get excited about this holiday and this year we will be finding room in the dinkus living room for my tree. Aimee was here earlier and said that Kailyn wants the Christmas tree up this week, my answer was to start getting my snowmen out and yea I may get my tree up this week and slowly get it decorated. I love love love Christmas and hope we have a white one this year, it makes it all more magical, as does having a granddaughter that still believes. More on my Christmas traditions in later posts.

Oh me oh my

The past few days have went in a whirlwind.....Wednesday night was Jordan's first MHS singers concert at BMS, those usually start late 7-7:30. Then off to get a costume from Ashley's house for my coworker Sue to wear on Friday after the concert plus carve pumpkins since I had put that off. Thursday night, I got my hair trimmed up and was waxed too then Steve and I went to Bogey's for the $1.25 or $1.50 taco night. Of course Friday was Halloween and I stayed dressed up as the witch but this time I wore my taller boots to work and to hand out candy. I managed to scare only 1 kid but we didn't have alot of kids in this neighborhood. I have what I call my "Special Kids" bags to make each year and most of them came by. We had one last stragler around 9pm and I dumped the "other" candy in their bags. "Other" means that it is the kinda cheaper stuff that we give the kids we don't know and the "Special" is of course for my special ones.
Yesterday started off with taking Grandma to the beauty shop then to get her some ribs, go get 2 Wedding cards for the Kolkmeyer reception at 1pm and the Crew's/Thornton wedding at 5:30. Steve didn't get off work until 3pm and went straight for the couch to take a nap, Jordan was already taking a nap then. so I went in and was intending to lay around for 30 mins and watch tv. Then silently try to get ready for the wedding since Jordan was going with me to that and Steve would be ready for the reception after. That 30 minutes lasted until 10 minutes to 5pm by Jordan coming in and asking if we was still going. I dozed back off after a negative to that question until almost 6 pm. I have no idea what made me so tired unless it was the Halloween Spirits I drank while handing out candy, the intense pain my body was in after wearing those boots way too long, or that I'm just a freakn train wreck of ailments anymore.........
So after that we decided to go to Hustler's since I was wanting somekind of food besides the bowling alley. Then we met Aimee and Joe for supper and some pool shooting. Laura, Johnny, Gala, Glen, McKathy and Mike showed up and we sat there for awhile having a good time. Laura and I was the sober ones for the first time at a bar. Suprisingly I can fun around some drunks while staying sober now, either it's my age or the medication working out for me! haha
I will have to pass the apologies out to the Kolkmeyer's and the Thornton's for missing their special events when I give them their cards that, when I got them, we was intending on showing. This seems like the longest Sunday morning with the time change.....I love the winter but hate it getting dark so soon after work now.
