The other day Tanner asked if "oh shit" was a bad word...

HAHAHA

Tonight we have gymnastics and he has had no nap today. :(He is all hopped up on sugar from his preschool Halloween party!

Ok.. so it ws cold and snowing.. but we braved it and went trick or treating on the William F BLack. Tanner thought it was fun and he got some more candy :) But he sure was tired in the end. then we came home and had hotdogs and carved our pumpkins!

Umm its snowing... what the Hell!!!!! Thas all i got to sat, We are suppossed to go trick or treating on the Tourist boat today at 4

Medline Trick or Treat was this past Friday. I forgot to mention it. But wanted to add a few pics of our celebration. Its usually a pretty big deal at work. We spend alot of time decorating and dressing up to make it fun for the couple hundred kids that come in. Ok for some reason this stupid blog is not allowing me to upload anymore pics. I have some pics of Tanner to pu on here.. but perhaps I will later.

Friday night we had some guests over :) Michele and Carri came over to visit. We had intended on doing some project... but ended up talking and having a cocktail. Hannah came over and kept Tanner busy. They played for a while and then ended up watching Nick Jr.. and some show called the Naked Brothers.. and Carly was on it.. and Tanner kept telling her to Kiss some guy... ummmm really weird.

Today I went to the Toy Outlet in Dyersville to pick up some toys for Tanners b-day. I also went Target and Kohl's. It was nice to shop at my leisure and not have to buy Tanner anything unless I wanted to. I did buy him a couple of long sleeve shirts as alot if his are to small.
Rick and Tanner went and bought 2 pumpkins so that we can carve them this week. Tanner is very excited for that.

Tonight I bought a new camcorder.. since ours took a bath. I still can not retrieve the info off the tape that was int he player. I hope to take it to Flicks and see if they can rescue it.. I hope so as it is our whole summer. I am still very sad about that.

Wow... what a cold day BRRRRRR. I don't think I am ready for that yet. Today at work we finished up our decorating. We carved a Santa pumpkin and hung stockings.. :) We are doing a Christmas theme for Halloween and dressing as Reindeer and elves. That way we do not have to decorate again! Sweet eh

Tonight was gymnastics for Tanner... he always gets so wound up and takes him awhile to "come down" He just has started to settle down now. We were done at 7! I thought it would help zap him of energy... apparently it works the opposite for him.. same thing with Cam also... must be the red hair!

He got picture info tonight for gymnastics... good thing he doesn't mind getting his pic taken as it has happened alot lately!

I hope that Thursday isn't to cold for football!

Funny Tanner

The picture has nothing to do with the story... I just think its funny...this was from when Tanner put mommy's lipstick on. He just does it to drive Rick crazy.. This time he wanted his photo taken with him... :)

Anyway ...OK so tonight at the dinner table we were talking about Medline. Tanner says "mom Renee is astracted to you because she lets you get up from your desk and do fun stuff." I was like "What? What is astracted" and he says "Renee loves you. She thinks your neat so she is astracted to you." Rick then says.. do you mean attracted. and Tanner says "yes". I am not sure where he got that word from.. and he partially is correct... Renee does love me (as I love her to ) but I don't think she is attracted to me :)

Kids they say the darnedest things eh :)

I am back

Ok so the show is over and I took a little R&R for myself, and am ready to blog again. I am not going to go over in detail of the past 2 weeks.. But I will say that the show was oddles of fun. It was good to hang out with some Grand folks again and make some new friends. We had lots of laughs backstage.. especially the last night with shaving cream, water and paint!


Tanner is sure glad the show is over as I think he was really missing his mom. On Family night he cried when it was over and he had to go home without mom :( But he really liked the show and talks about it.. I think it was the one he watched the most.






Yesterday we spent some family time together and went to the Pumpkin Patch, to Culvers and to Kohls. Tanner had fun at Bahls.. but was sad to learn the there will not be a Medline night this year. He loves to play in that corn. He will get to go again with his preschool buddies on Friday so that will be fun for him. The place was packed! We did the hay ride, bought some gourds, cheese popcorn and he went in the bounce house. We even got a free ride back to our car on a wagon!

Tanner also got his Preschool picture taken. And today we went and took some pics at the Arboretum for his 5 year old pics. He did pretty well... but he does get cranky after a bit and we have to leave.





Well that is all for now.... I am going to edit these pics so that I can get the printed and hung up at the house.. we have a couple of parties coming up :)

Ok.. so I am going to just let everyone know that for the next 2 weeks blogging will be sparse if any. I will be down at the Grand for the show and will either be tired or want to see the Tan Man after the show. So I will catch up with everyone 10/19. I know we are planning on POSSIBLY going to the pumpkin patch next Sat so I will post some pics then if we do.

Also .. say a prayer for Michele as she is going to babysit Tanner next Fri at the hockey game.. and wow has he been wild lately! :)
