1}I have really had a rather bad day today.
2}It started off good,with Pamy's funny photos.
3)Took the kids to the park,it's a beautiful day.Then my six year old was jumping up onto the hand rings,and missed them. He fell on his back and hit the platform with a sickening thud. People jumped up and ran over to him,he was hysterical. Some Latina woman was laying hands on him and praying very loudly. Another person was giving me their cell to call 911. Finally,a calm man came over and we looked Griff over real good. He's fine now,but man,it scared the crap outta me.
4}Then we came home and my neighbor boy got ahold of a big magnet,and stuck it all over our big tv and my puter screen. They both turned green and purple. They're fine now,so I guess it's ok.
5}I think the kids are going to bed early tonight.
6)My nerves are just shot!
7) But,all in all,I guess everyone is fine and in one piece,so we'll just start over again tomorrow!

Bookie knows the answer, Kady, because she must have watched "The Dumb Bunnies" cartoon several years when it aired on CBS on Saturday mornings! The Dumb Bunnies served breakfast for supper.

Anyone remember that cartoon?

Hippy, I've had the magnet vs. TV thing too. Thanks to my childless brother who thinks giving a 3 yr. old a giant horseshoe shaped magnet will be a good idea. We had a green and purple stripe on the TV for 2 days.

1. Had a fabulous time this weekend. Everyone was just great.

2. Sisters baby shower is this weekend...I have done absolutely nothing for it, but ain't worried yet, lol.

3. Friday I've volunteered for a field trip to the pumpkin patch with 60 kindergarteners because I've lost my mind.

4. I've been so busy lately planning for all the different things coming up or past that once it's all over I'm not quite sure what I'll do with myself, lol.

5. Hippy, all I can say is ACK!! Hope son is feeling ok today.

6. Hi Lyn! I'm rarely in chat these days before at least 9:30 board time. I'm sharing the internet with hubby and I get late nights, lol. But, during the day I'm always around and you can find me in my folder.

7. I missed Charmed this weekend, and Joan of Arcadia, and forgot to record Alias, and still haven't seen Survivor, CSI, or ER from last week.

8. I need a nap!

1. I am wondering if War thinks she will find her mind at the pumpkin patch. I am certain that your children's teachers think of you as a life saver, War.

2. I am so thrilled to hear about the shenanigans over the weekend in SoCal. Wish I could have been there, but I am loving the recaps and pictures.

3. Glad to see another hubby/wife team on the board. I'm telling you before long we'll have all of the significant others converted. Welcome Smartiepants!!

4. Colby has learned to roll from his back to his tummy. Now whenever he is on the floor he thinks he needs to do this. Once he is one his tummy, he gets mad cuz he doesn't know what to do with himself.

5. Colby also is quite the talker. When he is awake, he coos and babbles and squeals nonstop.

6. Braedon has poopied and peepeed in the potty. He is catching on. We are still in the exploration phase of potty training, not pushing it. We try to get him to sit on the potty at least once a day.

7. Hoping to have Braedon out of diapers by Christmas. That will ease the pocketbook.

8. I decided today that Braedon will either be a cowboy or a scarecrow for Halloween as we will not have to buy anything to compile those costumes.

9. Colby will be a pumpkin, cuz that's what Braedon was two years ago. Colby isn't old enough to care about Halloween, but I know everyone will ooh and aah over him, so what the heck.

10. I am one of the lurkers of this thread. I think I have only posted here once or twice and not for some time. So that I why I am posting ten this time.

Yay, Bookie; congratulations on getting your older son started on potty-training! It can take quite a while, so I'm glad you're patient and not expecting immediate miracles.

1. My kids are attending a Christian school this year, so I don't know what (if any) celebration of Halloween will take place there. I see no harm in it, though, and the kids love dressing up and participating in Trick-Or-Treat.

1. I'm taking my son out for dinner tonight in an attempt to see him on a more regular basis, despite the fact that his dad told me the kids don't want anything to do with me. (I knew that about my daughter, but my son?) Sigh.

2. I'm happy also to see Smartiepants join the board, and all the other significant others joining in as well.

1. I love my Christian faith, and friends. When it comes to Halloween I kindly tell my friends that we celebrate Kids Day on Oct 31. Every year we celebrate Father's Day and Mother's Day and my mom always was a smart alec claiming EVERY Day is Kid's Day. I disagree. For a kid, how would they celebrate... Dressing up as they wish, getting all this FREE candy!! Parties... So I say let Oct 31 be KID'S DAY!!

2. Egmom is a good cyber mom, because she is so innocent!!

1. I loved clam digging as a kid :)

2. I love having my son as a neighbor - he moved two doors down.

3. Life sucks for me right now but I'm trying very hard not to let myself get depressed... it's gonna get better sooooooo that's what matters.

1. Reader, I appreciate you soooo much! I like the Kids Day theme!!

2. Whit, c'mon now...you can do this!! I'm rooting for you!

3. It's hard being so innocent around this place.

4. Tomorrow is another day! Yay!

1. I HAVE to go teach lab school today. I feel a little better, but this will be rough.

2. Halloween actually has it's roots in the Christian holy day "All Saints Day" (Nov 1) when all of the dearly departed for the past year would be remembered and ascend to heaven. The evening before was All Hallows (Holy) Eve. Martin Luther nailed the 95 Thesis on the door of the Schlosskirche in Wittenburg and thus started the Reformation on October 31st because all people would be attending church and would read the door. October 31st is Reformation Day in the Lutheran tradition.

3. I'm having my students give a piano recital in the HUGE college auditorium on Halloween. THey can wear costumes and play minor songs. Then we will eat leftover treats, as our begger's night is the night before.

4. I've taught in public schools that ban Halloween or limit it to storybook characters. I've taught in public schools that have their one class party of the semester at Halloween (and avoiding the December holidays). Now I'm supervising lab school at a Catholic school and it's ok to sing about witches on brooms, etc. Anything goes! Go figure!

5. I need to pay my electric bill today or they will shut me off.

1. I'm off for the next two days...yippee!

2. I've had a horrible headache for almost a full 24 hours now, and nothing will seem to make it go away.

3. I was going to have a housewarming party on Nov. 8th, but decided yesterday to postpone it until after the holidays.

4. This house is still a major mess. We finish a project and start a new one...when will it end!?!

5. Tomorrow is the Halloween parade in my new town. My sister is bringing my 7 month old nephew who will be dressed as a pumpkin...hope the other people in costumes don't freak him out!

6. I never really liked dressing up for Halloween, but LOVED all the free candy. God I miss being a kid sometimes...

1. Well it's Thursday night and I see that nobody has posted in this thread for two whole days...what's going on?

2. We're having Santa Ana conditions here and so the outfit I wore to work today kept clinging to me, even after spraying tons of Static Guard on myself.

3. This past Tuesday I got my annual flu shot. I work in a hospital and so it's just an annual given that I'll get a flu shot. My left arm is still sore today.

4. My sister and I are taking a road trip on Saturday! We're going to the Camarillo Outlet Mall. Think I'm excited about that? You betcha!!

5. We'll be gone the whole day, leaving early in the morning. It's a 2 hour drive for us to get there, but it'll go by so quickly because we'll just talk and giggle the whole way up.

6. The drive up the 101 will be so nice. We'll have some coastline driving and the weather is suppose to be awesome.

7. The EggieMobile is ready to go. Zoom, zoom!
