Ahh, I've been tagged!

O.K. so here are the rules...

1. Link the person who tagged you

2. Post these rules

3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours

4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers

My "endearing quirks", only 6 to share eh... I fear I have many more than that.  :)

1. I have no tolerance for discomfort, hot, cold, hungry, tired, you name it, it makes me grumpy.  I would LOSE Survivor big time because they'd kick my tired, hungry, hot, grumpy self right off.

2. I, like my sister, Jenny, have a space issue! Les, my boss from UT, will remember this clearly.  We'd go to a training and I'd have to move my chair away from hers, not because she smelled, but because I need my space.  I am not a hugger, kisser or a close talker, take two steps back when you talk to me or I will.

3. I think my theme song is, "I'm in a hurry to get things done", it goes on to say "I rush and rush until life's no fun", it also talks about not knowing why I'm in a hurry.  I think that word comes out of my mouth to my children at least 50 times a day.  I rush Kai to eat breakfast and get ready in the morning just so he has time before we have to leave....

4.I am obsessive compulsive about a clean house.  It seriously makes me mental to have a cluttered house.

5. I also have a compulsion for bargain shopping.  I even dream about bargains in my sleep.

Sick and wrong.

6. I have to serve "fresh" food to my company. For instance, I cannot make it the night before even if it will be alright overnight because I want it to be hot out of the oven when I serve it. I don't want it to be "day old", they throw stuff out at the bakery because it's day old!

Let's see, who to tag, Melanie M., Jenni S., Jamie B., Jenni W., Lynn D., Laura B.

Pumpkin carving with the neighbors

This is our third annual pumpkin carving with our good friends, our neighbors.  We ate a yummy dinner, decorated cookies and carved pumpkins.  I think Kaden ate a pound of candy corn.  Can we say "sugar hangover" tomorrow?  The boys love playing with Emily.

Trunk or Treat

We went to our annual trunk or treat/chili cook off tonight at the church.  The kids look forward to it every year.  The bounce house was the favorite but eating Krispy Kremes off strings ranked right up there too.

HELP!

I put Kaden in the tub last night and like a good mom was trying to get Kai's reading time in at the same time.  I can mutli task right?  I was just a room away and heard Kaden frantically say, "my toy" and then heard the toilet flush! He flushed a bath toy down the toilet.  I had to hurry out to ward council so didn't really  have time to deal with it, I just advised the boys to use the other bathroom.  We're all good until this morning.  Kaden, being as independent as he is, quietly disappeared while I was getting Kai breakfast and decided to go #2 in that toilet.  Then Kai got the flu and "hurled" his breakfast.  

As I was plunging, Kai, cheering me on from the tub said, "Do it harder mom, it can break the whole wide sewer, that would be awesome".

Has anyone had to retrieve a bath toy from the toilet before?  We are wondering if Matt won't have to take the whole toilet apart??? Trust me, I'll plunge all day but those little plastic bath toys are just the right size to stop up the drain.

Best Buddies

Kai and Hunter both had 8:00 games last night (playing other teams). I was happy to finally get them together for a picture in uniform.  They met in preschool last year and immediately became best friends.  They go to different schools this year so we try and get them together as often as our schedules allow.

I AM OPTIMUS PRIME!

I have always been able to pick out my kids' Halloween costumes for them, but this year Kai was determined to be a transformer, specifically Optimus Prime.  I looked at all the stores for this costume and the ones they have out this year are CHEESY.  I got online and looked on e-bay and found one I liked and they were EXPENSIVE.  Thanks to Craigslist I got Optimus Prime for $10. "Transformers, robots in disguise..."

We made history!

We have long awaited this moment.  When we moved to Jacksonville 3 years ago from Colorado we were sorely disappointed that there was no Chipotle, the best burrito joint ever.  Matt even sent in a proposal to Chipotle (pictures and all) letting them know where they could build one here (that's how desperate we were).  We were so excited when we heard the news that we were getting not only one but two Chipotle's in Jacksonville!! We were among the first to enter it's doors this morning at 11:00 a.m.  Everyone in line seemed to be a "transplant" to the area having eaten at Chipotle somewhere else in the U.S.  Not a parking spot to be had when we left at 11:30.

Goodbye Moes!
