Awesome!

I don't usually recommend movies, because I'm afriad people will say, "What was the big deal about that? I don't know what was so great about it!" But, I don't really care this time. I just saw "August Rush" last night...and it was amazing!! I highly recommend it...so that's the chance I'm willing to take! If you go see it because I said it was good, first of all, I guess I'd be flattered. Then, if you don't like it, my apologies, but something is wrong with you! Ha! Let me know if you've seen it and what you thought about it!

I Feel Special!

Well, thanks to those of you that have bugged me about posting something new! That just lets me know that there are a couple of you reading!

I realize that I have gotten severely behind on my posting, so this is more or less a "catch up" post. I'll start with Halloween....check out my pirate and pirate lass!!

After we got Halloween behind us, a few of us from church took off to Kentucky to help our youth minister lead worship at a youth conference. It was an AWESOME trip....thanks in HUGE part to our accomadations. If I could only use one picture to try to describe this hotel, uh, lodge, to you...I think this one sums it up. This is the celing in the hallway just outside our room:
People, if you ever find yourselves in Gilbertsville, Kentucky...please be sure you stay at the Ken-Bar Lodge! It rocks!!!!

Now, I guess the latest thing to report is Brady's last injury. I picked him up from preschool on Wednesday, and his teacher said, "He had a little accident with his finger today. We've put Neosporin and a bandaid on it, but it's pretty gross. He really took the hyde off of it." (I'm not sure if that's how you spell "hyde" in this instance...I can't say that I've ever actually typed that sentence...) Well, she really tried to prepare me, but I didn't think much of it. That night, I put him in the tub before church and he started screaming saying his finger was stinging. So, I got him bathed, and when I got him out, we changed the bandages...YUK! She wasn't kidding! It wasn't until the next day that I asked her to tell me again exactly what happened. Brady was telling me one thing, and the teacher gave me the other story. He and another little boy were playing with a chair. They had it turned upside down. The other little boy decided to stand on it...with Brady's finger under it. Well, Brady didn't cry about it, he just decided to pull his finger out from under the chair...tearing a big piece of skin off. Here is the result (for the full effect, click on the picture...you'll get a HUGE close up of his ripped up finger, and as I just noticed, you will also get a nice shot of the chocolate in the corner of his mouth...darned tootsie rolls!):
Pretty nasty...the picture really doesn't do it justice! It's been fun to keep doctored up! It's really healed pretty quickly. Now, if we could just get rid of the bronchitis! Oh the joys of parenthood!

Well, both kids are out all week for Thanksgiving...I don't think I'll be posting any this week, but I hope to not go as long as I have this time! My grandmother will be 90 on Friday, so we'll be having a big party over the holiday! Hope you all have a great one!!!
