The Halloween rush is in FULL FORCE! Time to finish those goody bags, get juice boxes for Eli's class, finish a few tutus....AND...I WAS going to make Isaac a costume. (we'll see if I have time!)

The boys are all doing great. Isaac keeps doing what he's doing. Nothing new to report...and I LOVE THAT! Eli has his Halloween party tomorrow (they're both out of school on Friday). Mandy stuffed his goody bags for me...so, I just need to tie them up with pretty bows tonight! Chris is alive and kicking.

We just ran out to get the juice boxes...came home...and Katie (the DUMB DOG) ate a meatball sub that I was saving for Joe! She took it out off the table, out of the bag, and unwrapped it! I guess Joe will be eating cereal for dinner...which, by the way, it's after 9pm...and he's STILL AT WORK! seriously. He doesn't usually see the boys during the week. He leaves for work at 6:30am...and doesn't come in until after 9:00pm. One day....we'll meet him again...one day!

Here's a conversation with Eli tonight:

Eli: Mom...can a mom have a baby without a dad?
Me: Well...what do you mean??
Eli: You know...can a mom have a baby and not marry the daddy??
Me: Uhhhh...a mommy can have a baby and not marry the daddy....but, the mommy really should marry the daddy first.
Eli: Well...if they don't get married, how do they have the baby then??
Me: UUhhhhh.....the daddy gives the mommy a special kiss...and they can have a baby. BUT, they really should be married first. (I know...lame excuse...he's only 6 though)
Eli: Could you tell me about that kiss?? How do you do that kind of kiss??
Me: I'm not telling you. When you're older I'll tell you.
Eli: Can you just tell Chris...because he will tell me.
Me: NO...I will NOT tell Chris. I will tell you when you are older. (but, Chris does know...I just hope he keeps his trap closed!)
Eli: I'm just going to ask dad.

Then, as we were out tonight getting juice boxes for school...I was talking to him...and he said:

Eli: Mom....I don't talk Dork...I talk Cool.
Me: What did you just say??
Eli: You heard me. I don't talk Dork. You are a Dork. I only talk COOL!

Sometimes I wish that Eli had delayed speech...it's nice...sometimes.
Isaac doesn't nag me to death like Eli does.

OK...I'm getting off my couch now and finishing my list of "to do's" while I wait for my sweetie pie to come home!
