Ewwww

This is the first time Emily remembers carving a pumpkin. She sure didn't remember getting her hands in the goo.

Git er done!

Audrey concentrating on getting it done right!

Job Well Done!

Not bad for their very first Jack O'Lantern completely by themselves!

Pumpkin Time

LOOK!!!!!

It must be getting close to Halloween; the Christmas stuff is out at Wal-Mart!

Just in time for Halloween

New for Christmas 2007 - A Gothic Christmas. Yuck! Can anything be worse?

Muskogee Air Show

I went to the Muskogee Air Show at Davis Field last Saturday (since there was no OU game). It was a really great time, except that I got sunburned. The weather was absolutely perfect and they had a fair turnout of attractions. They had about 15 WWII era planes which was pretty cool.


A look at the tarmac.

A beautiful trainer.

Blue Angels

The Blue Angels were the featured attraction.

Their formation flying was incredible.

This WWII plane had 6 kills.


A "self portrait".

Yippee!

Only two months until Christmas!!!!!

I can hardly wait to start decorating!

Sick Kid

After our trip to Silver Dollar City where both kids ended up being sick, we took Audrey to the doctor on Monday and she was diagnosed with strep throat. She missed Monday and Tuesday, but since she didn't have any fever, she went to school Wednesday to turn in her projects and get her homework. I had her stay at home from church last night because I thought she needed the rest.

When she went to bed last night, she was coughing pretty bad. This morning at 2, she said she woke up pretty sick. She finally made it into our bedroom at 4:45 this morning burning up with 105 fever! Sally ran and got her some ibuprofen and I got some wet rags and began to try to get the fever down. Finally, after about 30 minutes, it was down to 102. We all eventually fell back to sleep.

When we got up this morning, her temperature was back to normal and she said she didn't hurt like she did last night. Sally called her doctor and he is considering prescribing a different antibiotic.

Meanwhile, she'll be spending another day at home.

Ice on the Windshield

This morning, at 7:45, when Emily and I were getting in the car to go to school, I noticed that the heavy dew from last night had turned into solid ice on the back windshield and the roof of my car! My thermometer read 37, but obviously the surface of the car was colder than that.

I'm sitting in my office this morning and it is a crisp 61 degrees! We haven't lit the heaters in the church yet. This hot coffee sure feels good!

COLD!

Boy! Am I glad I lit the heater last night. When I looked at my thermometer, it showed 39 degrees this morning!

The parsonage has one of those new fangled furnaces. It doesn't have a pilot light; it has electronic ignition. After two trips to Wal-Mart to get a new filter, I then had to figure out how to "light" the silly thing. All it has is a little (hard to see) ON-OFF switch!

What will they think of next!?!

Current Happenings

Just so you'll know.... I lit the heater tonight.

Overheard at Wal-Mart

I overheard a man and woman telling the clerk the following exchange at Wal-Mart a couple of hours ago:

Man: Yeah, yeah, she got out of jail on Wednesday; I got out of jail on Friday and we got married yesterday. he he he

Woman: yeah, yeah, yeah... I sure hope this one lasts!


(me: Oh my goodness!! Yes, I hope it lasts, too)
