Top: Munchkin's face paint from school, our stolen spider we put inside our neighbors house after they stole it from our roof. Chubbs relaxing after a tough night of trick-or-treating.

Middle: Items I found in our sub-woofer that Chubbs dropped in through the front. Chubbs trying out his car seat. Munchkin at his first wrestling meet (he did great!).

Bottom: Where I found Chubbs after I got him out of the bath and was grabbing him pajamas and a diaper. Tree on my walk from my car to my office. Chubbs in his new winter hat.

Awkward

- Going to dinner with some buddies to celebrate a birthday of one of them...getting a reservation...then being sat...at two different tables. Oh thanks seating lady! We really wanted to sit at two different tables, not all together so we can all talk and catch up. Thank you.

- Our staff meeting at work. I can't even begin to explain, but if you want to know, just call me and I'll tell you.

- Walking towards someone along a really long sidewalk, then thinking, "When do I look up and make eye contact? Do I do it twice if I do it too soon? Do I pretend I didn't really see them the first time, but then if they see me as I'm looking away, then I look back again when I get closer and they don't look up am I being rude? Should I smile if I look up more than once?"

Awesome

- MY FAMILY PICTURES!! Thank you Sharon Johnson!

- Meeting Kaylee from the Biggest Loser, Season 11. Apparently she works at Texas Roadhouse close to where I live. I wanted to take a picture with her, but my sister said it was dorky, so I didn't. Sorry.

- Chubbs dancing and walking backwards. Seriously the cutest/funniest thing ever.

- Munchkin going to wrestling camp and a tournament. He did really well having never wrestled before and really having no idea what he was doing!

- Book club

This is halloween...

Or was a week ago.

We went to a neighbor's Halloween party. Guess who was the only adult who dressed up...yup. That would be me. At least a looked like a teenage boy...

My favorite comment came from 10-yr old neighbor Peter, "You look awesome. You don't even look like a girl."

Chubbs as a cute dinosaur...

Not just a ninja turtle, a muscly ninja turtle.

Ummm..yeah.

fall here we come...

A few weeks ago we went to a local pumpkin patch, and I was pretty impressed. It wasn't anything fancy or over the top. It was simple. Just cute and simple.

Chubbs, David and Munchkin

 The boys favorite part

 my sis and bro

 He really wanted to push the cart.

Awkward & Awesome Thursday

Awkward

- Let's go with super awkward on this one...had a guy come into my office fresh out of jail. I know him by name and over the years tried to have as few interactions with him as possible.

For over an hour, I heard him tell stories about his stint in jail...wow. Apparently he...

  - shared a cell with the Mitchell guy from the Elizabeth Smart case

  - was in jail at one point with Michael Vick, some Piston basketball players, and some chinese guy from Goonies

Then he told us:

 - how light bulbs can used to cut someone up.

 - way too much information on his experience in prison.

 - how he is stuck in the state for 15 years on parole.

Then (as a married man) gave a lady I work with two kisses on the cheek with very inappropriate hugging.  I knew this guy when I was in school and he was always inappropriately flirting with girls. Gah. Certainly not someone I ever wanted to run into again.

Wow. Wish you could have been there, but at the same really glad nobody else was.

Awesome

 - Fall colors. Granted they aren't nearly as pretty or vibrant as they are back east, but I still enjoy them.

- pumpkin patches. Just fun. 

- Finding an enormous blow up spider in my garage (from years and years ago) and putting it in my front yard (specifically for my neighbor...well, and Munchkin. He thinks it's pretty cool.)

- Seeing Chubbs learn new words 

- short hair. Seriously takes me like two minutes to fix

- My twin brother's getting their mission calls...almost. They are supposedly in the mail.
