jimboys tacos remind me of high school

so being to lazy tonight to cook the boys dinner, we went to jimboys tacos-
the boys love quesidillas, and i get my usual #7
its funny how a taste of something can transport you back to another time, and i remember going to jimboys tacos when we had open campus in 9th grade-
we also went to jimboys when we had home volleyball games in 10-12 grade sometimes for dinner -
if you have never heard or been to a jimboys tacos, they make the best corn tortilla grilled in parmesean cheese! yumm--
from the jimboys website www.jimboys.com
"OUR FAMOUS TACO-A grilled corn tortilla with cheese, lettuce and choice of meat and parmesan sprinkled on the side;the same way it's been made for over 50 years!"
anyway- so tonight i remembered sitting in the booths at jimboys, eating tacos with my friends-
yumm!

DJ the Doodler-- I wonder who BOB is? Posted by Picasa

when your kids do stuff like you...

for those of you with kids you will know that over time they do little things like you- either because they saw and learned it from you, or they got it genetically-
it always amazes me when the genetic things pop out- because its interesting how your traits can be passed down--

so I crack up because my middle child DJ has become my doodler- drawing here and there, on scraps of paper, the calendar, the white board, or even my business notes- sometimes he writes his name, sometimes he doesn't, just marks his territory with his pen or crayon or whatever he can get to write with- and leaves his drawing for me to find-

just like his mom, doodling, all over papers, phone books, notes, anything...

OH NO we cant draw, but we do master the art of stick people- its not a nervous habit, not a need or desire- just a doodle-

so for now DJ the doodler, doodles like his mom, it will be interesting to see what other traits will be like me as he gets older---

hopefully he wont sass like his mom did- or try to stuff all his friends in a VW bug, or all the other things his mom did but cant write becasuse her mom will read this! Ah yes, her mom, is used to reading diaries---remember that one MOM!!!!

mason soccer game Posted by Picasa

are there pervs in the park...

so yesterday we go to a soccer game - the game took place in a park we had never been too- it was quite nice, and had a great playground-
unfortunatly, the soccer field was a little too far away so I couldnt let the younger boys play alone- so i decided that while masons team was warming up i would let the boys play - and i sat on the bench to watch them-
as i was sitting there, i realized that parks are not relaxing! I couldnt read my magazine i brought because there might be pervs that would snatch up my kids!
i realize that im glad i put kennedy in a bright red shirt, this way i could see him if a perv grabbed him and ran-
so as the soccer game began i lured kennedy to the sidelines with a bogus lie that i have candy becasue i cant let him play at the park- there might even be a kid perv that would do something to my child when i wasnt looking--
and then Dj had to use the restroom, and of course, he had to go with me in the womens side- which he hated- beasuse there might be a perv in the mens room that i wouldnt know about-
while he is doing his business, all i can think about is this is just like the bathroom george michael got arrested in for "that thing he did".
anyhoo- i hate pervs, they have ruined the fact that i cannot relax, in a park, have to bribe my children with candy to stay closer to me, and take my sons into a womens restroom--

It's a Girl-

Look at our new little girl born oct 30th! She is a St Bernard- can you believe this pup will grow to be over 100lbs?
We currently have 'Honey' who is a 5 year old st bernard that we rescued from the SPCA- and I want to introduce a companion to her-
our pup lives in Nebraska right now, we will get her in December- we are actually trading her for a website- hubby will make a st bernard website for the couple who is trading us the pup-

OMG!! my son looks like a pumpkin! Posted by Picasa

Anakin, Obi-won, Yoda  Posted by Picasa

May the force be with you...

Yesterday was halloween, we actually stayed home this year and passed out candy- and i took the boys around the neighborhood-
you know some people really put some thought into what they hand out, we got a couple party bags with goodies- the boys' favorite was the hot chocolate packets, and mini microwave popcorn.
we were definatly generous with our candy giving 4-5 pieces per trick-o-treater. Except the 14 year olds dressed in hooded sweatshirts claiming to be a human beings for halloween--
dum-du-dum-dum-dummmmmm

and what is the internatiol symbol for - "we- are- done- with -halloween -and -we -have -no -candy -unless- we- take- some -from- our -childrens loot?"
would that be to turn the front porch light off, the inside lights off, and pretend your not home?
then why do people still ring the doorbell??? I just dont get it- one lady sent her 5 or6 year old kid aka skeleton boy to our pitch dark doorstep, as she sat in her car on the road-- i wanted to throw a pumpkin at her-

i didnt dress up this year, becasue my hips were just too big to pull off being princess leia- the boys went with a star wars theme- every year they MUST match in some way- and NO MASKS! i hate those on kids! So we found some star wars costumes- I found DJs at target- in september, masons i got off ebay- and kennedy- i was tossing back and forth between yoda and chewbacca, but i couldt find a chewbacca for toddler-- the yoda was cute, so we went with that, i ordered a costume oct 3rd- from a place called costume hut out of canada- luckily they never charged my card, and did let me cancel, becasue the week before halloween, it still hadnt arrived, there were some ebayers who wanted up to $70 for this yoda costume- and many online places were sold out, i tried one last internet search and got a link for Party America, ordered the costume, and it was in my hands 2 days later! i was very impressed!
guess what- there will be a yoda costume on ebay next year----
Anyhoo-
maybe ill be a bit more creative next year... now to make my halloween pages for my scrapbook!
