I babysat some friends - Here we have Joshua, Tyler, Lilly, Morgan, and Trent. (Check out those sexy legs on my boy!) Posted by Picasa

I thought this was pretty picture - what do you think, Shannon? The corn fields across the street - they missed one - one, when they chopped 'em all down. The morning was beautiful with the fog and the sky lit like it was. It was cold!1 Posted by Picasa

Just before we left for the Zoo Boo I put the baby in the van and told Justin and Tyler to - get in, shut the door, and get buckled. I turned around to go to the bathroom before leaving and as I shut the door to the house I heard a scream. The movie Casper Meets Wendy was on and the kids were screaming because they were seeing ghosts. As I'm getting done using the bathroom, about ready to head out to the van, Tyler comes in saying Justin is crying and needs help. I run out there and he had shut the door on his finger! I felt so bad!!!! I took him to the E.R. because his finger was so FLAT. It began to puff up some but no sign of bleeding. Odd. They put a protector on it after taking an x-ray. Days later this is what it looks like. I'm sure he's going to loose his nail. But, at least he says it doesn't hurt. Posted by Picasa

After receiving they're next belt they put them to their heads to receive knowledge to come or something like that. Then, they pull the belt apart quickly to break the seal. Parents had to go and help put the new belts on. Posted by Picasa

Here we have Darth, Harry, and Jack (o-lantern) at the N.E.W. Zoo for the Zoo Boo! Boo! It was raining all night long and the boys shoes and socks were all soaked through, but, they had a good time racking up candy anyway! Oh, and stay away from the penguins holding tank - they were missing and surprisingly there were body parts floating in the water. Posted by Picasa

O.k., read the caption to the next pic - I got my pictures uploaded out of order - hate it when that happens. Anyway, this is Terror on the Fox (Fox River) at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay. This haunted house is rated one of the top ten nationwide by HauntWorld Magazine. Believe me - it's scary and a whole lotta fun!  Posted by Picasa

Justin in front of the haunted house (well, actually it's the side of the haunted house). Very cool! We had a lot of fun. Me and Sky are going to go in the evening next week. This was kids day where the ghouls are friendly and say, 'hi' rather than "*^%^%&_(*&&^^&%^&*!!!!!!!!" and scare the crap out of you, and the lights are on and some doors are open for quick get aways. :) But, Tyler did get scared quite a bit and Justin admitted to being scared twice. Posted by Picasa

Justin (with the help of Tyler and Daddy) putting out food drive bags - it's fun to be a scout (and to have one, too). Posted by Picasa

Justin heading out to sell popcorn - made about $300 that day!  Posted by Picasa

O.K. - my cat and his remote. Somehow, this isn't good. (My competition is growing.) Posted by Picasa

Maddie and Matthew came over with Tammy and had fun in the leaf pile with us. That's Tyler - being buried by leaves, and Maddie. Posted by Picasa

Now that the leaf piles were flattened and scattered - time to rake! Posted by Picasa

Justin - now, he can definitely use a hair cut. But, I'm trying to grow it long - you should see his side burns. You can tell he's really happy because his eyes are all squinted with a a big smile. Posted by Picasa

My little buddy could use a hair cut, couldn't he? Well, maybe not. Tyler is such a cutie. He's so funny and so sweet. Posted by Picasa
