first off, aunt sherri - we love your 'noisy' holiday decorations! i didn't want you to think we were complaining. :) keep them coming!
secondly, yes, my son wears his spiderman costume almost every weekend. no, he won't take it off and the only way we can touch it is if we unzip the back 20 times a day so he can go potty. ah, the joys of raising a dork...
the weather took a nasty turn over the weekend as i'm sure many of you tolerated as well. ellie had a fever/upset stomach from thurs. evening until sat. night, so we appreciated being kept indoors. grandma & grandpa came over sat. morning and grandma babysat so warren, ryan, grandpa and myself could enjoy the local Christmas Walk parade held downtown each year. was our first to witness and even though we froze our you-know-whats off, it was delightful. i thought i would take some photos the newspaper could possibly use but from where we stood EVERY photo has a sign in the back ground stating "missouri wine & beer!". was pretty humorous once you saw that sign above st. nick's head!
for example... here is the mayor and his wife (she owns the daycare our kids attend). needless to say - not one of my photos printed in this week's issue :)
we did have some excitement saturday evening. barry and brittany went to the hospital for she was having contractions. for 2 hours - while enduring the sad mizzou game - we were on pins and needles just watching the phone hoping it would ring. sure enough... false alarm. only a few more weeks left until baby grace makes her debut. i'm certain she will be beautiful!
dad had minor surgery yesterday morning for a hernia. all is well and he is being pampered by mom non-stop. if he is smart, he'll take advantage of it and prolong his recovery :)
and now for a little laughter to brighten your day...
yesterday i reminded warren's school to submit the children's 'letters to santa' so they could publish in the newspaper. when the family picked me up from work at 5, i asked warren if he told his teacher what he wanted from santa. he told me he wanted spiderman and some other toys i've never heard of. i asked if he wanted to santa to bring anything else for his family and he said he told his teacher ellie needed some 'little balls' (take that however you wish). i knew i set myself up for the next quesion... i asked what santa should bring mom & dad. he said, in all seriousness, "he can bring you a yo-yo, like me... and for dad, some garbage". :) what a kid.
