Couldn't Look At MJ Anymore, Quickly Threw This Up

Scary Elf

I thought this was the scariest elf known to man, but you have proven me wrong. That frostbite elf sounds evil.

You better not pout, you better not cry, you better wear your coat or else you'll die...At least that what Kate tells her children. That's right, did you know if you don't wear a coat when going outside you can get frostbite? It's worse than it sounds, it actually eats your skin. Side effects include: lost toes, frozen arms and reoccurring nightmares of a fiendish frostbite elf. For more questions ask Graham Hunter who resides in Wilton, CT.

Happy Birthday Kyle!!

Just Hanging Out

I just wanted to let you all know that I won the bake off for best cookies. I should also probably tell you that the battle was only between Colin and I. If you think I had a 50% chance of winning, you are wrong. We had about 8 different volunteers (majority of them being McOmber/Wyatt relations) and each voted. Based on the subjects and the variance of the tests, I ended up winning. In an completely unbiased study. Of course.
Point being,
my cookies are the best.

Now Kids Have a Reason To Not Eat Their Veggies

Here is what Colin and I (mostly Colin) assembled for this year's Halloween: Colinflower and Veggie Dip. Sadly, we were one vote shy of winning a $100.00 cash prize at a local party. We lost to Marge and Homer Simpson.

New Wall Hanging

We have a lot of empty wall space here.

Mekaneck, what the heck?

You are looking at the 1980's vintage He-Man character Mekaneck. This coveted item from my childhood was just rediscovered in an eBay auction. You twist the mans hips to extend his neck. My childhood friend that owned one would use this ability to peer over walls without exposing his men to the harmful rubberband attacks from my Castle Grey Scull. I also remember screaming the line "I have the power" several times during the event - any fans out there?

The eBay item also stated that he comes from a smoke free environment - he must be one of the good guys.

Back by Popular Demand!!

So Rebecca is really the only one "demanding" this, but here you go!!

Pumpkins

The first of our pumpkin patch visits.

Pics of the New Hampshire

Dramatic Chipmunk

The Munchkin

Rather than e-mailing out pics to everyone, I'm going to post some here so that you can all see them.
Here are the most recent ones of the munchkin.



I put her down on the floor and not 10 seconds later she has disappeared, except for that little bald head poking out.

She had somehow broken through my fortress of pillows and managed to sneak under the bed. The original purpose of the pillows now lost.

Hiking up in Leavenworth.

Hittin' up the shops of Bavarian treats. Okay, mostly just ice cream shops that blare Bavarian music.
