I happened upon a surprise birthday party at my home on the evening of December 29th. It was truly a surprise to see so many friends and family waiting to help me celebrate my big day.
Grandma and Grandpa joined us for Christmas morning. Everyone was excited to see what Santa brought Munchkin for Christmas.
Munchkin had a look of magic in his eyes when he saw the beauty of Christmas morning.
Yesterday at the museum, Munchkin met a lot of new and unusual creatures.
One week ago-
I was sitting at the computer one evening typing on the computer. Munchkin entered the room in an apparent good mood and saw a roll of toilet paper sitting on the desk. With every bit of anger he could muster up from his little two-year old body he threw the toilet paper across the room and yelled "DAMMIT."
The Very Next Morning-
While sitting on the kitchen floor coloring, he displayed the same theatrical performance using his crayons.
The Following Day-
I was in the computer room while Jeremy was watching football in the living room. Munchkin approached me with a sucker, his third piece of candy in a half an hour. I said to Munchkin "You have had too much sugar. If you have any more sugar you will get sick. Go tell Daddy "No more candy."' Munchin walked out to Daddy and said "Dammit sucker, no more candy."
This morning-
I told Munchkin to come into his bedroom so that I could dress him. He entered the room and saw that his shoes were lying on the floor, directly in his path. He kicked the shoe and gently whispered "dammit," knowing by this point that "dammit" is a word he shouldn't say.
"Ryan" I said "Where did you hear that word?"
He gave me a look as though to imply that he would not be a tattletale.
"Ryan" I said "Was it Mama?"
"No" he replied.
"Was it Dada?"
"No" he said again.
"Was it Grandpa?"
"No...Grandma" He finally answered.
Anyone who knows my Mom will appreciate the humor of this story. Grandma, you really need to watch your mouth around the Munchkin!
I realize that I have put my blog on the back burner and I feel bad about that. I need to remember that these memories which I post on my blog are every bit as important as a 12 page paper which has fallen out of nowhere and dumped itself in my lap.
I was looking through some recent pictures and discovered these of my boys at the pumpkin patch prior to Halloween. I never even thought to post them, but I definitely think that they are post worthy.
Mikelle, on your birthday I hope you enjoy some old pictures of friends and family.
To brighten your day...here is Farrelly doing "Sinatra"
Here are the pictures taken on Halloween during trick-or-treating. I'm sorry it took me so long to post...I've been oh so busy lately.
Here is the group of ghouls we went out with.
These are a few of the girls from my beloved Dental Hygiene Class of 2008. I love these girls and don't think I could make it through school without them. An occasional day of fun like this helps ever so much.
"I am so pissed at my Mom and Dad for making me dress-up in this silly pirate costume."
This year I have two Halloween costumes which will magically transform me into a pirate and/or a chicken. While Trick-Or-Treating indoors I will be looting the sweet treasures in my pirate gear, but outdoors I will be cozy and warm while asking for treats in my chicken ensemble. Here is a preview of me as a chicken.
