Halloween Eve. . .

Tomorrow is Halloween! I'm excited, we have lots of fun events planned for tomorrow and it's suppose to be beautiful outside! I just wanted to get a post on her so everyone knows we are safe and well. Jerry took tomorrow night off to go trick or treating with us. . . and once again after a wedding and trick-or-treating to a few houses in Raymore, we will be trick-or-treating with Jerry's sister's family. . . So I'm sure I'll have pictures to share tomorrow!! Until then, I'll leave you with our pumpkins we carved. . .

Video of Chloe singing. . .

I spent the morning with Chloe at preschool. They had their Fall Harvest Party today. It was a lot of fun and I got to stay the entire first half of her day. Here's a few video clips that I got of her singing in music class. . . Leave us a message if you like it or not!! :o)

A Haunted "Ginger Bread" House

The fun continues at Grandma's house. After days of shopping, Chloe and I got to sit at home and build a Haunted House. She calls is a ginger bread house. . . :o). After dinner last night, Chloe, Aunt Joanna and I built and decorated the Giant Cookie house.

Shopping in Osage Beach. . .

Today the guys skipped their morning hunt because of the rain, so everyone got to sit around and enjoy breakfast together. About 10ish, us girls (Mom, Grandma Kay, Chloe and I) plus Jacob went to Osage Beach to get some Christmas shopping done. Jacob got car sick on the way down there but after a quick stop to get some Benedryl and fresh air, he was fine. Kids were fairly good during the shopping. Jacob had his moments but eventually figured Mommy was going to win when I strapped him in the stroller. Shopping was fun. . . if it wasn't raining it would have been even better! I myself didn't get to much shopping but I gave mom lots of ideas!! :o)

Now we are cooking dinner and waiting for my sisters to get here and the guys to come in from hunting!! Then we will all enjoy Pork Roast, Green beans, corn, Potatos, and dinner rolls.

Jerry is sick -

He came home early from work last night because he was throwing up. He wasn't running a fever, and as far as I know, he hasn't ran one yet. I had to work today, and Jerry said he was well enough to take Chloe to preschool and watch Jacob. . . but he's been dragging all day today. I called him a couple of times to make sure all was good. And as soon as I got home this afternoon, he called in to work and went to bed. I think he's getting better because he can hold down solid food now. I just hope this isn't the start of an the flu bug in my household. . .

On another note, we figured out what is wrong with my Explorer. . . both O2 sensors are bad. Which is causing my gas mileage to be horrid. I use to go 310-350 miles on a tank of gas and lately I can only go 210. So it's not going to cost us as much as we originally thought. Now when I have an extra 100 bucks laying around the Explorer will be fixed!

Info on our new site

Okay, so I've spent the last couple of hours perfecting this site; hopefully, making it easier for you to use. I know most of my family is use to the other site so I'm going to explain a few things for you now. This is where you will read my family updates, and see a few of my favorite pictures - like the one below of Jacob. On the side (-->) you will see 4 smaller pictures. . . this is what you click to see the rest of the pictures. There are 2 options, you can click the individual picture and it will take you to it. Or you can click view albums and it will take you to my site where the photos are separated my months. Either way you will get there! (FYI- You might have to allow pop-up from the site to get it to work correctly.) Just like before you can leave your comments on the updates and you can leave comments on the pictures! :o) I hope it was all clear as mud. . . if you have any issues let me know. I'll do what I can to help!

One little Monkey Jumping . . .

My dare-devil son was at it again! While I was unloading the groceries from my vehicle, Jacob decided it was a good idea to jump off the foot stool and wack his head on the coffee table! It was horrible, he about gave me a heart attack! Of course, the inital impact made him cry and it was instantly bruised and swollen. As soon as I picked him up he was good. . . the crying stopped. I sat him down in the recliner and gave him a juice box so that I could look at his head and put ice on it! Ten minutes later Jake was running around the house chasing the dogs and picking on his sister. So after talking to my mom and after finding the toll free nurse hotline our work benefits offer off the internet, I decided he was absolutely fine. I didn't need to call the nurse line, but now I have it programmed in the phone memory for future reference. . . Knowing my son I'm sure to need it eventually! I kept him (& Chloe) up 5 hours after he hit his head just to be on the safe side. And Jerry woke him up about 6:30am, to make sure he was still okay. Except for the HUGE bump and bruise on his head you would never have know he did anything! Thank goodness for hard-headed boys!

So we've moved. . .

Welcome family! This is our newest home on the internet. I've had this little blog for a while and I seem to be able to update this one faster and easier than I can the kids' babyhomepages. With life happening and kids growing, it's so much easier for me to upload pictures and type an update for both kids. So welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay!

Love,

The Daily Family
