Happy Halloween!


Can you guess which pumpkins were carved (or designed) by which family member?

I have broken my foot.


Going to the store with three kids and a broken foot:

Put one year old and four year old in cart.


Let seven year old have the "special helper" job of pushing the cart. ( I left the ten year old at home.)


Try to keep up with the speedy seven year old, while new at this crutches thing.


Scream, "Stop, there are cars coming!" three times before even reaching the store.


Apologize to all the old ladies who get hit by the cart with the seven year old pushing.


Tell the four year old, "No, you have to stay in the cart. No, you cannot push the cart."


Fail miserably with this, and end up with the four year old, out of the cart, pushing the one year old headlong into a display of canned goods.


Apologize profusely to the store manager.


Ignore the one year old's cries to be carried through the entire check out process.


Finally leave the store, head hung in shame.


Go home and have a big glass of Merlot.


I actually found out today that I don't need a cast. I have a big boot thing on it for the next 5 weeks. I can walk on it, which is really good because the crutches were awful!
