Team Edward or Team Jacob???

Courtney and I are on the same pace with these books. I too can't decide whom I prefer for Bella... but I think I'm on Team Jacob. He's better for her in the long run, right???

Me, last night, after finishing Twilight and about 300 pages into Book 3,
"Matt, I just think you should know that I love you WAY MORE than Bella loves her vampire boyfriend Edward."

Matt, after a long pause and trying not to bust up laughing,
"Marci, I just don't know what to say..."

PHILLY!!! and Moorhead Boston Trip 2007

First of all - CONGRATS TO NATEY BOY ON HIS MISSION CALL! Nate's going to Philly in December. :)

Sunday: church, then drive to Palmyra
Monday morning: Palmyra sights
Monday afternoon: Niagara Falls
Tuesday: National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY
Wednesday: Quincy
Thursday: Plimoth Plantation
Friday: Freedom Trail and Children's Museum
Saturday: Duck Tour in the am, thai food for lunch (mmmmmmmmmm), and poof. They were gone to Dallas to see my Gma.

Whew! Are you tired just reading that? It was MUY fun.

Some pics from our adventures:

Some People I Miss... and Sam's Adventures

First... some people that I miss dearly right now. Allie, Laura, and Britlyn and the wonderful Dawsons. Sam especially misses Millie. :)






Sam's been busy with his favorite things... reading books, playing with his cars and trucks and train (basically lining them up and then moving them somewhere else and lining them up again), "helping" with dishes on his new stepstool, playing in the laundry basket, and playing with my sunglasses. Matt thinks they look hilarious on Sam (and on me, but I ignore that...).








Lastly... Matt decided to create his own "FLOWBEE". Yep.. here he has attached our Wahl buzzer to the vacuum... His verdict? It worked fine, but not great. Maybe the real flowbee is better...



"STOP TAKING PICTURES OF ME MOM AND GET ME OUT OF THIS CRIB!!!"

I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee...

OUCH!!!! IT STUNG ME!!!



So - here's my story. Normal morning, normal breakfast, normal goodbye to hubby as he leaves for work, normal clean up Sam, normal get Sam out of high chair, normal start to clear the table.

Here's where the normalcy ends.

I'm clearing the breakfast dishes and suddenly feel like I stepped on something sharp between my big toe and my 2nd toe. But... it's getting worse, hurting more, like glass or something? I'm confused. I look down...

THERE'S A BUMBLEBEE BETWEEN MY TOES THAT IS STINGING ME!!!

I throw the dishes in the sink, start screaming and turning in circles, hopping on one foot with the bumblebee foot swinging in the air. (Aside - Sam thinks this is funny and starts copying me...). The bee finally decides it has better things to do and buzzes off.

I grab Sam, run into the office, and slam the door.

...where I promptly look up treatment for a beesting. And THEY HURT. Worse than I remember.

Then I plant Sam in front of Sesame Street, grab a magazine and wind it up as my weapon of choice, muster all my courage and go on the attack.

"I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee...." I came off victorious.

My Two Boys and their Graham Crackers

You might recall from before that Matt and Sam love graham crackers and milk. When we got home from running an errand recently, it was time for their traditional snack... and Sam being silly.
