Nero 6

Thought I would share an artist with you that has some very inspiring words, India Arie. About a year ago I decided that it wasn't where I lived that could make me happy. I needed to be happy where I am before I could move on. So I think I have finally reached this point and the song, Theres Hope, says it nicely.

This year we decided to forgo our annual party. Ashley had a babysitting job and the boys weren't feeling well all week. It was nice however to get dressed and go out. We started out with pumpkin carving at 4 (ashley and I saving ours for fall decorations). Christopher's is the puking pumpkin. Michael made me nerous as he got to use the filet knife and a few extra tools. When I cut jonnys he got mad because it was a happy pumpkin. He wanted a scary pumpkin so we added the arrow. This of course leads us to the costume ordeal. Back in September jonny and I found this monkey costume that he had to have. But for the last couple weeks he only wanted scary scary scary. He was not going to wear the monkey so was just going as himself. We finally got the monkey costume on him and all pretended to be scared. After about 4 houses he loved being the monkey and kept saying how much fun it was. We had beautiful weather and could not have asked for better. By the ended of mile two I ended up with a monkey on my back. hehehehe. The boys really had a good time and we ended the evening with a few munster episodes and some fear factor.
