F A L L I N G L E A V E S are a pain in the ...

This time of year - is pretty with the all the colors of the leaves - but man I hate to pick them up! It is like a never ending task. Rake them, bag them, turn around and do it all over again, and again, and again. Then I have a dog that wants to lay in the middle of them. Guess she thinks it is a dog bed or something.

Little Miss Gracie playing in them. Boy she thought it was too funny to mess up the pile after Tom raked them all up!!

Try to get two crazy dogs to sit still with a little one long enough to get a picture. Not happening - as you can see one of them is already getting up!

Then they decide to wrestle right in the middle of the pile. After they ran through them and spread them all over the yard. See told you it was a never ending job - had to rake them up again after they were done. Now they are all over the yard again - so looks like this weekend I (notice I said I) will be at it again! Mr. Tom starts to help, them disappears. He has to check the scores of the football games. Whatever!

Happy Fall Y'All!!!!

Hello - Hello - Hello-

Had breakfast this morning with Gracie at her school. We played with playdough, colored, did some puzzles and ate. It was fun!

Boo....

Just a quick Halloween card I made for Gracie and my niece Haley!

Can I get in MY bed or what????

So if you want to go to bed at my house, you better be the first one in there or this is what it looks like!! Can I get a spot??

So after the Tower of Terror...(read the post below)

So after the Tower of Terror, which at this point it is like almost midnight, we leave and go back to the hotel. We are all just about asleep when someone knocks on the door - it is one of Tom's teammates - go figure right. So his teammate is laughing soo hard, he can't breathe let alone talk. He finally tells Tom to come with him and tells him what is going on. (like I said in the previous post - they are all nuts). So to make a long story somewhat shorter - one of the guys called in a "we have a lizard in our room and can't get it out" call to the front desk and asks them to send someone with a big net to catch it. But it wasn't his room - it was another teammate and his wifes room, who were sleeping. So the rest of them are hiding outside waiting for the hotel crew to go to this guys door to catch a lizard. So they finally come with a box and a can of spray to get this thing, they knock on the door and wake the guy and his wife up at like 1:30 am, and of course they tell them they are at the wrong room. They hotel guy says well it has your room number. All the while, everyone else is hiding, watching what is going on and almost peeing there pants. So the next morning the maid bangs on there door at 7 am wanting to clean their room and wakes the guy and his wife up again. So then the same prank caller calls the front desk at like 9 am and tells them the toilet is overflowing and won't stop flushing and to send someone right away to fix it because the floor is flooded. No one goes there, that we can see. So we all go to breakfast, except the guy and his wife. So about noon we get a text message from the guy and his wife and he wants to know if someone is messing with them because someone from the hotel just showed up to fix their overflowing toilet. Of course we all denied it because we aren't even at the hotel, we are at breakfast!! We had the perfect alibi! This guy is freaking out, swearing that someone is messing with him. SO we never see the guy and his wife until we get to the airport and guess who is on our plane home?? The guy and his wife!! They start telling everyone about it, and I have never seen a bunch of adults lie and deny all while keeping a straight face!! It was a fun weekend!
