She worked all day and was ready to drop.  Actually she did drop-- face down on the grass.  She got up before I could grab my camera.  : - )  Arden!!  You're no fun.  Well, she is loads of fun.

Monday morning blues.  They are on their best behavior though.  Don't expect any calls or texts this week.  They know one false move, seeing they've had so many already, they won't be going Trick-or-treating.  Boone's Sunday School teacher even text Bret to say he was good Sunday! Big Surprise.

I know Boone sounds terrible, but his teacher told me last week she calls him by her son's name because he feels like her own.  She said she doesn't usually do that with the kids.  

And Pryor... well I won't even go there.  Both boys are really smart though and starting to make really good grades.  Thank you Jesus!   The truth is I would take two more just like them.

Mike says his favorite part of the dinner was:

Me:  "I just watched a documentary on Nantucket Island and their whaling history."

Arden:  "I got to go pee."

Well excuse me!
