I read a book over the weekend–it was a fun read.  It was written by the wife of the comedian we went to see last year.  She discovered she had a large tumor in her brain sitting directly on her brain stem.  The book is about how she discovered it, had it removed, and then had to deal with the aftermath of all of that (one of the complications being unable to swallow for weeks).  As I mentioned she is the wife of the comedian, Jim Gaffigan.  She also does a lot of the writing for him–so they are both very funny.  It was a fascinating read–especially since I’ve never experienced anything like that.  Plus I’m not funny.  (tee hee!) So it’s fun to read someone who is funny.  😉  Oh, yes and she has 5 kids.

Guess who made it into 5th Grade Student Council?

This girl!!

She tried out for student council in 3rd and 4th grade and didn’t make it in, so she went into this year feeling a little dejected.  It’s a hard lesson to let your child learn that just you might be wonderfully suited for something, you may still not get to do it… and in this case it was a hard lesson to learn 2 years in a row.  But this was her year!  She will do an awesome job, I’m sure, and is THRILLED to finally get her chance.

It was a bit on the chilly side for trick or treating last week (hence the stocking hats under the costumes…) but we still managed to have a good time.  (Unfortunately the two other families that were going to go out with us came down sick.  It’s really been going around lately!)  Levi hurt his ankle right before we left to walk around the neighborhoods, so I had to push him around in the stroller, which he thought was awesome.  Ha!  I sure got my steps in that night!

This year we had: Mike Wazowski (from Monsters Inc.), a cute sailor girl, Captain America and a bat ballerina. 

This post is for you, Kylene!

Since you mentioned Taco John’s Potato Ole’s the other day they have been on my mind.  So, today while running errands, the Littles and I enjoyed sharing an order of Ole’s.  🙂

We thought of you the whole time.

Well, that’s not true. We were pretty much just enjoying the delicious food and licking our fingers.  But I did make them take a picture so we could send it to you!  They were sad that you can’t have them down there.  Haha!

You should know the bag was empty by the time we took a picture.  🙂

Love you!
