The Jack-O-Lantern

The family made a real jack-o-lantern this year, under the artistic direction of Bradley. Ben was happy to stick with the Mr. Potato Head version.

Motivation

Ben got ready this morning in record time. I think he was excited about the Halloween party at school. He didn't even realize that he's wearing a pull-up instead of underwear.

History Repeats

Three years ago, Bradley broke the tent. Now, Ben has broken the replacement. In both cases, I was able to get a video taped confession.

The Sleeperoni

While on vacation, the family came up with the term 'sleeperoni'. That is the person who wakes up last in the morning. It is derived from the term 'stinkeroni', which is a general insult and not related to one's odor. Bradley took the concept one step further this morning when he declared daddy was the 'wakeroni'. That is the person who wakes up first.

Sunday School

Ben was not happy about going to the first day of Sunday school. He was pretty grumpy since we just got back from California the day before and he was up until after midnight. However he must have eventually calmed down since he didn't come running to us when we picked him. Ben made a very nice Noah's Ark picture.
