Trick Or Treat!

Trick or Treat

Smell my feet ...

Or give me something good to eat!

... my fellas ...

"Spickle Me"

(aka a minion from Despicable Me)

and "puppy dog"

...who didn't like his ears...

These two got lots of loot!

Which Mommy is busy stealing ... well ... because she dressed up too!

Happy Halloween!

SHEMUSL

Many of you know about a dream of mine ...

A dream that just might have come true about 4-5 years ago ... realized, then sacrificed before Jackson was born.  Yep.  I gave up one baby (my blue, 1970 Chevy Nova) for another.

Then I was a wife, and a mother, and a homemaker, and a diaper changer, and a chef, and a minivan driver, and a family planner, and a pregnant lady (again), and a mother of 2, and a diaper changer AND potty chair emptier, and a pull-your-hair-outer ...

So I said to Justin one day:  "I need to take some of my 'identity' back.  And I'm going to do it!"

Then things came together ... and that dream was realized again.

This baby is a work in progress.  So ... I wanted to share some "before" photographs so we can watch the transformation.  And ... I'm doing it myself ... which makes me kinda proud.

Nevertheless, it sure feels good behind the wheel ... behind a 350 Chevy small block V8.  Uh oh ... better not get me started!

Be that mechanic ...

you always wanted to marry.

Tidbits of Summer

And ... because I've been a blogging slacker ALL Summer (and I'm even stretching the "indian summer" at this point) ... here are:

Tidbits of our Summer

2013

We kicked it off with Apple Blossom.

And mom and dad's trip to Niagara Falls.

The "splashpad" opened in downtown Winchester.

We made up for lost time at the pool (and JayDees).

Jax rode his first go-kart.

There were LOTS of county fairs!

And time with friends.

We went to Myrtle Beach.

And bowling.

And Dinosaur Land.

And the Toy Train Museum in WV.

We definitely ate some good food ... didn't say it was good for us.

We began learning to ride our bikes.

And now that it's Fall ... we are getting into FOOTBALL!

And beautiful women.
