I am a worse than WALMART

I feel like a super market chain.....no it's not the fact that I have more non-essential food in my pantry than most daycares. I have my Halloween decorations up and it is not even October 1....you might say well October starts tomorrow....but NO I had them up last week, and forced myself to wait on the inflatables until today. I know it is pitiful....not the decorations the eagerness....I am a SUCKER for fall because once begun it only gets better. Halloween, then Turkey day, and Christmas, it is like a non stop decorating frenzy! My neighbors all give me grief over the blowups and I swear if I could find one for each month I would! Duke is groaning because he knows it is so true!

A week ago Reid, Macy and I all went to Big Top Kids around the corner to play. It was fun they had these "little tikes" motorcycles that Reid would not get off, good thing they had several. Little biker pulled wheelies all over the place. They loved the little rollercoaster and wore it out pretty good, but my favorite memory has to be of them in the moon bounce. Macy was struggling to climb up a part and Reid jumped down and pushed, and pushed her until she made it up and then climbed up and smiled for me. ALL UN-COACHED. Macy really has the best big brothers they doat on her all the time.

Macy is in Twirl & Tap at the her childcare center.....sooo cute. The pictures are awful b/c I did not want her to see me, so I was sneaking around in classrooms and such and a few times she saw me and I think she was pondering "Was that Mommy?" Also all my shots had her little freinds in them and were uncropable and showing pics of them is a no no. So here is the one I got...will do better next time. She really does well and follows directions and shakes her tail feather on demand....my prima ballarina

Dale is in flag football. He wanted to play tackle but I talked him into flag again this year. Good thing, he is again, the youngest and smallest on his team, BUT definatly not lacking for skill. He can catch and throw really well, and hangs with the others if not outdoing them. His team is the Longhorns, a fact he is very proud of. He came home last week with a picture from school of a hand drawn kid in a helmet and the number 10 on the shirt and below it he wrote. "I want to be a futball plaer" Duke asked his who is number 10....."VINCE YOUNG DAD", "thats my boy" was dads reply...We were practicing this afternoon and Reid was playing with us and Macy brought out her baby and purse and put the baby nite nite on the lawn, on a blanket. Girls and boys are POLAR OPPOSITES....I will snap a few shots of Dale in action this week at practice.

We also enjoyed some milk shakes for afternoon snack and had to show off our milk-staches.
