The Latest David Story

Wayne asked David why there were Girls and Boys. Wayne explained and then asked David, "What if there were only Girls in the world?" David only looked at Wayne with an expression of "Are you NUTS?" Wayne then proceeded to ask David, "What if there were only Boys in the world?" David immediately answered him, "Then it would be a way Cool world, Dad!"

Batman Returns in Pumpkin Form





The Batman and the family






It was a Happy Halloween time around here. Last Friday, Andrew's 2nd grade pumpkin contest was due and we made The Batman as a family project. It was great fun and challenging. Gorilla Glue is amazing stuff. When Mikayla was in 2nd grade she made a Mickey Mouse pumpkin and we used Gorilla Glue for her project as well. That Mickey Mouse pumpkin head NEVER came off and we finally threw it away after Christmas. Painting a pumpkin makes it last for a VERY LONG TIME!


Trick or Treating was very warm this year and lots of fun with way too much candy! Grandma Hawkes made Brianna's cat costume and Mikayla wore the Spanish Dress that Wayne bought in Spain on his mission. Andrew was OBI-Wan Kenobi, David was the GREEEN Dragon, Gabby was a ladybug and Pea Pod was the Bumble Bee. Wayne was able to be home with us this year and that was definitely a fun thing.



Wayne had Andrew watch the movie, "Rudy" and Andrew loved it! I don't know if it was because Rudy never gave up or because he loved how at the end Rudy totally sacked the quarterback. He thought that was GREAT! He told me that he knows that feeling of sacking the quarterback and it does feel GREAT! He commented that he loved how Rudy always got back up over and over again and never gave up. I think it taught him a great lesson he will never forget!
