Our Pumpkins

Last night , we carved out the pumpkins we got last week-end . Rob never got to do anything like this as a kid . He loved it !

Apple Annie's

Last week -end we decided to load up the kids and Mom and go to Apple Annie's Apple Orchard in Willcox. We had a great time ! We went on a hayride , picked out a pumpkin ,cut it , went to the the Sunflower field , then went and ate a BIG piece of apple pie .

20 Shades Of Red

My boys love to watch the wonder pets . One of their favorite episodes , is where a Chimp gets lost in outer space . Never did I think it would cause Lucas to make the statement he made yesterday !

Mom had ordered a new stove and it was delivered yesterday morning . The delivery men were very nice and great with dealing with Lucas' questions . But at one point they became very busy . Lucas was trying to get them to talk to him , but they had to do their work . So , they had to tune him out . He did not like this at all !! He responded with a statement from Wonder Pets ..... " Baby Chimp , take the banana out of your ear ! Now do You hear me ?! " I wanted to crawl under a rock and die !!!! ( especially because one of the men was black ) Needless to say ... they left right after . And we had to get someone else to finish hooking up the stove . They said they could not because the pipes were too old and would not move . Funny thing is , the guy we had to come over and turn it on , had no problem at all . Hmmmm , could it have been the delivery guys got upset with Lucas' statement ? LOL He did not mean anything by it , after all , he is only 4 .:)

Oh , The Almond Of It All

I have been doing the South Beach Diet for sometime now . Eating Almonds has become a big snack around here . My two year old loves them . I did not think much of it , until the other day . I saw him sitting in the hallway picking up an "almond " . I went to get it from him and give him a clean one . Much to my surprise .... it was not an almond but a cockroach !!!!! Yuck !!!!! Thank God ,I got it from him before he put it in his mouth ! Funny how almonds and cockroaches do look a little alike ( especially to a two year old ) LOL .

Are We Done Yet ?

We are almost done with Mom's house . Been putting furniture back in place , putting in some new light fixtures and moving things around . We are now waiting for the stove to be hooked back up , the bathroom to be painted and the new faucet to be put in .
We got a faucet for the claw footed bathtub from a wonderful website ( shop4classics.com) I found one for $170 ! Alot better then the plumbers price . He wanted $300 !!!Crazy huh !
Yesterday the plumber called me at 7 in the morning , asking if the tub had been put back up on bricks ( it has to be above the pee trap ) . I told him it had not been . So , he informed me that he could not put the faucet in until it had been put back up . I thought this was his job ! I was getting way stressed out . This plumber has been the worst !!! He is cheap but I guess it is true .... you get what you pay for .
We got ahold of the company that put in the floor and they came in and put the tub back . Now , we wait again for the plumber . Who knows when that will be ! At least Mom has not paid him yet .
I will be so glad when this is done ! I never want to redo a house agian !
