we are spoiled.....

Aunt Satha with the boys....

The boys and their daddies....

The Hogwarts Express,,,,,

Blaine with Hedwig....

The Three Broomsticks, where I downed some Butterbeer....

Getting some love from my favorite kid!

This was probably my favorite picture!  I don't think Blaine and Andrew knew that Megatron was NOT a statue.....  This is their reaction after he called them "cretins" and made a grab at 'em. Lol!

remember this?

Do you guys remember my heckish adventure with wallpaper in the kitchen?  It looked so terrible!  Michael painted the walls in a nice light tan.  We decided to put up beadboard and a chair rail.  

Look ya'll.....look what Michael did!!!!!!

Didn't it turn out beautiful?  He's been working so hard to make it perfect and it looks like he succeeded!  It's very satisfying to get a big project like this done....yay!

Next step, new light fixtures...stay tuned!

halloween and other things....

Blaine was Ash Ketchum from Pokemon this year.  We purchased the hat online for $5.00, but the rest we scrounged/made ourselves.  It worked out better than we hoped it would!

Here's Blaine with his cousins Carter (Anakin) and Sophia (a kitty cat).

And here we have Ash with his cousin Captain America, I bet you didn't know that they were related!

This is one of those "other" things.  Blaine participated in his school's 2nd grade program.  He had 2 lines and did so well :).  I'm glad he enjoys things like that!

Here's our pumpkin.  He wasn't that hot really.  No actually, he was TOO hot and did not survive our Florida October temperatures.  We had to throw him away before the big day.  Too bad!
