October updates

10/31 - We had fun Halloween with the neighbors. Landon was Darth Vader and Kasey was Elmo.   We went down to the Turners for a great Panini buffet and a few drinks.  We have 8 kids on the block all around the same age so they have fun together.  After eating we all went trick or treating together.  Unfortunately with school the next day we didn't get to stay out long.   

10/30 - We had a very lazy morning.  I'm not sure we really got out of bed before 11:30am.   Then Greg took a bike ride and kids and I went to the park near Landon's school.  Kids had a great time running around, swinging, going on slides, etc.  Landon was twisting Kasey's swing and letting it turn around.  She loved it.  They played fire truck - going from playground to pretend truck on table that they drove, and then they put out fires.

Kasey decided today that she wants to be Elmo for Halloween.  Landon will be Darth Vader - Doug calls him Darth Landon.

That afternoon we took the kids to the park to ride bikes.   Kasey is getting Landon's bike, and he got a new one without training wheels.  Kasey got to ride for the first time.  Landon started riding without training wheels.   He can go for a little bit, but then loses momentum and falls over.  He will get there though.

10/29 - Landon had football game in the middle of A&M game (which they lost).  Landon had good run in the game.   I got to go on girls night went to movie and had a few drinks with a few ladies from the neighborhood.   

10/23 - We had a fun bowling birthday party in the morning.  That afternoon Kasey and I were supposed to go see Disney show of cinderella, Belle and Snow white stories.   Landon and I got home from party.  Greg had given Kasey a peanut M&M.  her face was broken out, her tongue felt weird, and then she threw up twice.  We ended up giving the tickets to a friend down the street.   Of course she was fine after Greg took the tickets to the neighbor.  That night, Kasey says, mommy we forgot to go to cinderella show.  Poor thing.

10/18 - My dad had knee replacement surgery today.   He was in surgery for about hour and a half, then after recovery he was taken up to a room.  Surgery started between 8:30 and 9, and then by noon he was in his room and walking 6-7 steps.  After that they gave him Epidural.  He didn't have much pain at this that day and was in good spirits.  The doctor came and showed pictures from surgery with his knee, and different pieces they put in. He had to have the largest knee they make.  

Later that night Kasey got sick.  She threw up almost all night long.   Some kind of virus.  Poor thing.  lasted a few days.

10/15 - We had another busy day.   Started watching A&M game, put it on pause to go to Landon's flag football game.  He got a flag and a first down in the game.   Then we watched the rest of the game when we got home.   That night the kids went to spend the night at Grammy and Gramps house. Greg and I went to have some Sushi - Doug happened to come to the same restaurant after he got back from College Station.  After dinner we all went to FC Dallas game.   Then we went to burger place next to Pizza Hut Park to watch the rest of the Rangers game.  It was a good day for sports - Aggies, FC Dallas and Rangers won.

10/8 - We had good day.  Landon got to play quarterback some in football game today.   He did well. Even threw the ball once.   

before the game kids and I went to the park.  They had fun swinging.  Landon went across the monkey bars all by himself multiple times.  Then he also fell a few times and now has little rock marks on his forehead.

We had pizza night and watched the Aggies beat Texas Tech (Yea).  Lady enjoyed the pizza as well.

10/7 - This was sent to me by a mom whose daughter goes to school with Landon.   Oh, we're in trouble...

On another note, I had to tell you that my daughter came home one day a couple weeks ago and said "I really like how Landon looks. He's pretty." Apparently she has a little crush on him. She's planning to marry him, and when I asked her if Landon is aware of this plan, she said "Oh no, I want it to be a surprise."

10/4 - Kasey woke up at 6:30 which is early for her - she was trying to get the gate open to get down the stairs with her aggie raggedy anne doll, baby doll, pink bear and wolfee plus her blanket.  I got her back to bed but somehow I ended up carrying all the stuffed animals.   Needless to say we decided to implement 2 item rule when coming down stairs.

Got the halloween stuff out today - we had fun, but kids went crazy with all the blow up skeletons, homer and pumpkins.  They almost ran over Lady a few times.  Lady is still hanging in there, but not eating much.  She's having a tough time.

I went with Greg to pick up Kasey from school today.  Her teacher said that they did a stamp project and Kasey got it all over her arms, but that she had a great time.  She seems to be enjoying school.

10/1 - We played Arkansas at Jerry World - possibly for the last time since we're in SEC starting next season - we'll likely play them home and home. Landon found a friend at tailgate, and we had a good time eating, drinking and being merry :)  A&M played well again first half and gave it away in 2nd half again.  Strangely enough the Cowboys did the same thing that Sunday.
