CALLING FOR MORE ON MONDAY.....CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

OH BROTHER.....BROTHERS

THE SNOW DAYS WERE STARTING TO GET TO US....TRAPPED IN THE HOUSE A LITTLE TOO LONG. MILES AND LUKE GOT OUT EVERY SWORD AND GUN THEY OWN. SINCE THEY HAVE NO "HOLSTERS" THEY PUT ALL OF THIS STUFF DOWN IN THEIR UNDERWEAR. YOU CANT REALLY SEE BUT LUKE HAS A SWORD SHOOTING STRAIGHT DOWN FROM THE PENIS AREA. I DIED LAUGHING WHEN THEY SHOWED UP IN MY ROOM WEARING ALL OF THIS. BOYS WILL BE BOYS.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE 2 OPTIMUS PRIMES

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE WANSTRATHS. THE BOYS DECIDED TO BE TRANSFORMERS THIS YEAR. LUKE WAS GOING TO BE BUMBLEBEE BUT ONCE WE GOT IN THE STORE HE HAD TO BE WHAT HIS BUBBY WAS. THEY WERE ADORABLE. WE WENT TRICK OR TREATING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH BUDMAN, GIGI, AND DADDY. AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO NENE AND PAW PAW'S FOR DINNER AND HIT SOME MORE HOUSES IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY GOT MORE THAN ENOUGH CANDY. FUN NIGHT.

LUKE'S MOTHER'S DAY OUT CLASS

TODAY WAS FIRETRUCK AND FIRE SAFETY DAY . I WENT UP TO GET SOME PICTURES BUT THE TRUCK WAS DELAYED. INSTEAD, I WENT TO MUSIC CLASS AND WATCHED THE CLASS PRACTICE FOR THEIR CHRISTMAS MUSICAL. LUKE NEVER SANG A WORD AND DIDNT MOVE FROM HIS "SPECIAL SPOT" ON THE FLOOR. IT WAS CUTE TO WATCH THOUGH.

SUSAN'S BABY SHOWER

LUKE'S FIRST SPORT....GO ORANGE CRUSH

LUKE SIGNED UP FOR FALL SOCCER THIS SEASON. WE DIDNT KNOW HOW WELL HE WOULD DO....HE IS VERY SHY. TURNS OUT....NOT HALF BAD FOR HIS FIRST LITTLE GO AROUND. DADDY WAS HIS COACH AND WE HAD 5 TEAMMATES...MADDIE WAS EVEN ON OUR TEAM. LUKE SCORED A GOAL THE FIRST GAME AND WE WERE SO PROUD. HE LIKED THE FIRST FEW GAMES BUT ONCE THE EARLY COLD SNAP HIT, HE WAS PRETTY MUCH OVER IT AND HE WAS HOLDING OUT FOR HIS TROPHY. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND I LOVED WATCHING HIM. MOST OF THE TIME HE JUST TROTTED ALONG BEHIND EVERYONE. ATLEAST THERE WERE NO TEARS AND HE DID WHAT COACH DADDY TOLD HIM TO DO.
